SERMON STARTER FOR SUNDAY, MAY 27TH, 2012 – “Building a Biblical Marriage: Make the Right Match!”

Read: Colossians 3:16-17

What do you believe is the first and most important step in building a biblical marriage? Of course, it is TO MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Easily said… but, more difficult to do. Does the Word of God indeed have guidelines on this matter? Yes.

What do you think would be two key perspectives about God that would immediately impact this decision?

Someone long ago said, “Ignorance can be easily cured with information; but, you can’t fix stupid!” Well, I am not sure about that… at least I hope you can fix stupid because I have acted stupidly from time to time. But, I do know what they meant by that harsh sounding statement.

Our message for Sunday Morning will be based on a simple exposition of these two verses from Colossians making a direct application to the matter of choosing that person to whom you will be married. I will submit four specific applications for us to consider…

What is the impact of biblical thinking on this all-important decision?

Where and from whom should we seek additional input about this life-changing decision?

Who is the best source of counsel as we think about this make or break decision?

And, finally, does Jesus have the right to tell you who to marry, and if you think He does not; how is it that you consider yourself to be, “a Christian?”

REMINDER: This coming Monday is Memorial Day. It is a time that we remember those who gave their lives in the defense of our Nation and our freedoms. It is a great time to remember and honor our fallen heroes, as well as to take time to pray for the safety of those who protect us and our freedoms today!

I hope to see you Sunday at 9am with a smile on your face, your Bible in your hand, and your family and friends by your side!
