For a Great Marriage!
Thanks to Paul?
Page last updated on April 8, 2003

Right - Even though Paul was not ever married, I gotta tell ya, he gives us some great marriage material here
along with great stuff for fathers as well as pastors.

Ever heard the old adage, "If you are not married and if you don't have children so how can you preach?"
Well here is how - Follow Paul's examples and preach it the way Paul did!

I tell ya, ain't that Book something!!!!!!!!!!


Is There No Balm in Gilead?
Is there less and less healing in the Gilead of Bible Believing Christian Marriages today?

I know none of us will truly reach a perfect marriage until the Groom Himself comes for His bride, but here are some examples for us to consider as I challenge you to evaluate your own personal part in your relationship with Jesus Christ AND in your own marriage.

The audio versions definitely have some things said in them that are not in the written text format.
I encourage you to be patient and be sure to listen to the audio versions of these sermons when they become available!

Introduction
Why don't Bible Believing Christians appear to be a better testimony of the healing that Jesus Christ offers to us - especially in our marriage relationship. 

Where is the healing in our Bible Believing homes?

Life is getting more and more difficult for those who seriously desire to learn to walk the godly life of a Christian - so why are Bible Believers not seeming to 'cope' well anymore?

Why don't folks want to walk the Christian walk especially within their own family?

Why are marriages having such a hard time these days - especially from Bible Believers!

You will see some very interesting & applicable stuff here 
if you read through these entire messages.

The Master and Servant Relationship
Putting some great practical application to this series.

We see here some examples in the Bible to follow showing a great & godly marriage relationship in a very practical application.

This sermon deals with the practical element of the  'master - servant' relationship within a marriage. Go ahead and read it - it isn't what you might think it to be.

Don't be afraid, ladies.  This is great practical stuff!  Don't get scared off?

- Don't be afraid, men -
It's about time Bible believing men become a real godly man
before the whole thing falls apart - including the children!

The Friends Relationship
Continuing our series that most certainly has the potential of helping any Christian marriage as well as our own personal relationship with the Lord, we now look at the aspect of the Lord calling us His friends.

Now that we looked at how a husband and wife should not only have a good "master / servant relationship," we can see here that a good "friendship" must also exist between husband and wife.

You can have a great "master/servant" relationship and still not be friends - maybe that is why more and more marriages are still "on the rocks,"- because it is not based on the ROCK!

 The Lovin' Relationship
from Song of Solomon
If the "master/servant" relationship is according to the Book and if the friendship is according to the Book - then the lovin' relationship will be a sweet time in the garden and it will also be according to the Book!

This is the nitty gritty smooching and huggin' stuff!  Yup, it's in here, alright!

I Thessalonians
Great Examples for a Pastor AND a Father
Surprising study series here - while we are studying Paul as a Pastor, we can also see how Paul is showing us men how to be fathers because we are to be "pastors" in our family, right?
 
Introduction & Chapter One
Hear about Paul's pastoral quality in this series.  It sure does seem to fit our church family in God's timing for our church famly growth pattern He has established for us here in Touchet - I hope it helps you, as well.

Chapter Two
As Paul shows us all a great example to follow regarding pastors, if you will read this as a FATHER, you will be reading the best examples available in regards to being a godly Father - and I don't mean priest - I mean a father caring for his children like a father ought to.
