-THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON- Marriage & the Gospel (Part 2)

Dear River Family,

Lord willing, this week, we will continue to look at gospel living in marriage. Other than the relationship between Christ and His Bride - the Church, the marriage between man and woman is the most important relationship on earth; it is given to us by God to image forth the most important relationship - the one between Christ and the Church. This week we will move from God's design and purpose for marriage into His roles for us within our marriages.

Our focal passage will be Colossians 3:1-19. This week, it will be important for us to spend time in word and prayer. Let's ask the Lord to strengthen our marriages and the marriages in The River Family. It is our prayer that our marriages would be a true reflection of the relationship between Christ and the church.

Grace and Peace,

Eric
