Marriages come in seasons: the romantic season of intense passion and unrealistic bliss, selective blindness and excessive loss of judgment, debt. The reality season includes eyes opened, work, kids, bills and sheer perseverance. The rich season for those who make it include rewards, experience, investments and romance. A persevering marriage has a sense of spiritual oneness...

One of the hardest sayings of Jesus has to do with a camel, a needle, and money. It causes us to consider closely the materialistic way we live. God wants us to enjoy material blessings, to give Him charge of all that we have, to invest and be generous. Preached at Fellowship Church, Grapevine Texas. www.creativepastors.com.

Scripture: Mark 10:18-22
Topic: Materialism
Elisha had a defining moment with Elijah when Elijah asked him to leave his life as a farmer and to follow him. We all have defining moments in our lives. As Elijah prepared for his death (his ascension to heaven), Elisha would not leave his mentor. He asked Elijah for a double portion of the Holy Spirit.

Topic: Faith
Work is a calling from God. Every job stinks. There is no perfect job. God is in control of who is in control.. If you can’t find a better job, this must be the best job. If you can’t respect the person, respect the position. If you want to be influential, become invaluable.

Topic: Divorce & Remarriage
If I am really going to become more like Christ, it means that we would change the way we do marriage and become less self-oriented and more other-focused. It means we become more sacrificial, more missional, more willing to give our comfort, time, and possessions away for others. Jesus is asking. How about you? What is it you want? If we truly have aspirations to follow him...

Topic: Repentance
Parents, teach your children to avoid sexual impurity and premarital sex. Discussing sexuality is one of the most powerful ways we have to show our children how much we love them and how valuable they are to God. Marriage God's way glorifies Him and begins to restore His image in us. Pure thoughts and clean living bring great joy and satisfaction.
