Betrothed to Christ

Listen and learn about the 7 elements in the 3 phases of the Jewish wedding tradition that point us inescapably to the great truths of God’s love for us.  Do you realize that He is calling you today and wooing your heart to surrender to Him?  He wants us to believe on Him, to enter into covenant with Him, to receive the gift and promise and purifying fire of His Holy Spirit, and to wait patiently and expectantly for His promised return when He will carry us away!  Are you His?  Are you betrothed to Christ?

Nehemiah Series - Resolving Internal Conflict - Sermon 5

The only way we are going to serve successfully and answer the call to build the walls in the face of external opposition and internal conflict is by humbling ourselves to serve one another in the humility, meekness, and love of Christ.  Nehemiah demonstrated it and the Apostles reiterated it: The Return to Selflessness is the key to it all. 

So when we face internal conflict in our individual lives, in our marriages, in our families, in our homes, and even in our work places and communities, let’s remember to:

1.    Remove the Ambiguity – Walk in Truth

2.    Recognize the Impact of our Choices – Personally, Spiritually, and Publicly

3.    Respond with Repentance and Restoration – As Required

4.    Return to Selflessness – As a Way of Life
