3002 The Beauty of Marriage Apr 08, 2023

Show notes

As we celebrate the resurrection this Passion weekend, we can apply the lessons of sacrifice and sacred love to our marriages, making them stronger and more meaningful. The glory of the resurrection amplifies the beauty of marriage.

At its core, marriage is a reflection of the relationship between God and His people, and at its highest form, a marriage can be an expression of the love between Christ and His bride - the Church.

Therefore, understanding how the resurrection impacts our marriages gives us an unparalleled appreciation for this sacred union.

Let's start with the power of sacrificial love. In John 15:13, Jesus says, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is the ultimate example of sacrificial love.

Sacrificial love means putting others before yourself. When we practice sacrificial love in our marriages, we put our spouse's needs above our own. We think about what our spouse needs, even when it may not be what we want. We give and serve our spouse sacrificially, without expecting anything in return.

Next, let's talk about forgiveness. In Ephesians 4:32, it says, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Forgiveness is essential in any relationship, but especially in a marriage. When we forgive our spouse, we let go of the past hurts and move forward.

Forgiveness opens the door for love and trust to grow in any marriage. If we want our marriage to be strong and meaningful, we need to learn to forgive our spouse, just as Christ forgave us.

Hope is another essential component of a strong marriage. In Hebrews 6:19, it says, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hope is like an anchor that keeps us grounded when the winds of life threaten to toss us about. When the road ahead looks difficult, uncertain, or even scary, it's hope that keeps us moving forward.

When we have hope, we can face any challenge that comes our way. In a marriage, we need hope to believe that our relationship can weather any storm.

Finally, let's talk about faith. In Hebrews 11:1, it says, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

Faith is trusting in something that we cannot see or touch. It's believing that God has a plan for our lives and our marriages, even when we can't see it. Faith is what binds our relationships together.

Trusting God and believing that He is on our side gives us hope and comfort when life gets tough. When we have faith in our marriage, we believe that our spouse will stay committed to the relationship, even during the most challenging times.

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus hold vital lessons for couples looking to build a strong and healthy marriage.

So, what does this all mean for our marriages? It means putting sacrificial love into practice by being a servant to our spouse, understand from a biblical perspective. It means forgiving our spouses when they make mistakes. It means having hope for our future together, even when things look difficult. And it means having faith in God and His plan for our marriage.

You see, marriage is sacred. We have an opportunity to create something that is eternal and everlasting. The power of sacred relationships is that they can have an impact that lasts for generations to come.

When we prioritize these values in our marriage, we build a relationship that's based on love, respect, and trust that stands the test of time.

And when we put these biblical principles into practice in our marriages, we create a legacy of love and commitment that will be remembered for years to come. Commit to building stronger and more meaningful marriages that bring glory to God.

PRAYER: May the power of the resurrection strengthen and bless your marriage today and always.

3001 Loved Beyond Likes and Followers Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

Nowadays, kids have a hard time understanding what real love is, which makes it more challenging for us as parents—loved beyond likes and followers.

In the age of social media, love is often measured in terms of likes, comments, followers, and subscribers.

Children, especially teenagers, place a significant amount of importance on their online presence and the content that they curate. They equate social media reactions with appreciation, validation, and even love.

In many ways, this shift in how we measure love has made it more challenging for parents to teach their children the true meaning of love.

Loved beyond likes and followers.

As we know, love is a complex emotion that requires patience, kindness, and sacrifice.

True love is the kind that is unconditional; the type that we show to our family and friends regardless of circumstances. It’s a deep and abiding feeling that transcends physical attraction, financial wealth, or social status.

But, as parents, how can we teach this kind of love to our children?

This is Passion Week when we celebrate Easter.

The Bible tells us in John 3:16 that "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

This verse shows that God's love for humanity is so profound that He was willing to sacrifice His son, Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins.

Now, don't you think that love goes beyond likes and followers?

Of course! And that's why Easter is a perfect opportunity for us to share not only God's love with them, but how real love looks.

You see, Jesus willingly gave His life for us, suffering and dying on the cross, to pay the price for our sins. This shows us how far God's love extends and the lengths He was willing to go to show us His love.

Now let us not forget the resurrection of Jesus to explain how love triumphs over death. Jesus didn't remain in the grave, because on the third day, He rose from the dead, proving that He had conquered death and sin.

God's love is stronger than anything else in this world.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Love beyond likes and followers!

How you love your child goes beyond likes and followers.

Create an open and safe environment where kids can share their feelings, opinions, and doubts. Be sure to take time to listen actively and actively respond with empathy, understanding, and guidance. This teaches children how to communicate with others honestly and with love.

Model appropriate behaviors demonstrating love and respect. Children look up to their parents and follow their examples, so it's important to set high standards and be consistent in our actions. Little eyes are watching.

Teach children to value genuine relationships over superficial ones. Encourage them to invest their time and resources in nurturing friendships that are based on mutual respect and common interests, rather than focusing on building their online image or receiving social media validation. This will teach children the value of authentic connections and how to recognize true love.

However, when life gets a little crazy, and you are drifting into another season, be sure to teach about forgiveness. Love is only as great as it is to forgive. In Romans 5:8, it says that "while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This means that God loved us before we even loved Him back, and He forgives us even though we don't deserve it.

Love is sacrificial, forgiving, and triumphant. When you nurture your relationship with your children to see how God showed us how to love, that is the best gift you can give.

No more focusing on likes and followers. See your child's heart as God sees you!

Many blessings this Easter season.

PRAYER: May the Lord bless your love for your children.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
