Marriage — Sermons — Samuel Mills

A Family on Mission

Psalm 128 is a poetic passage that outlines the impact an individual, married couple, child, family and church can have if they choose to take God seriously and live on mission. The passage is a progressive journey through the function of the family and how working together as a family can influence our society and world.

There are many challenges facing marriage and parenting. There are internal pains and external pressures that are affecting how we do life. This Sunday we want to explore how an individual who takes God seriously can impact their family and how their families can impact our world.

Relationships That Reward

God created us as relational beings designed to empower, encourage and enhance others. Very often, we struggle in our key relationships, which results in painful emotional turmoil. In Colossians 3:18–25, Paul addresses three key relationships that we all are involved in at some point of our lives. We can find ourselves in at least one of these three: marriage, parenting, and/or employment.

Paul proposes a solution as to how to create and maintain healthy relationships. He presents Christ as our model, communication as our method and charity as our means and motive.

My prayer is that Jesus would be our example as we interact with others in love through our actions, attitude and words.

Singleness or Marriage: Which is Better?

During an average person’s lifetime, a significant portion of their life will be spent single. Typically, the first 25 years of life and perhaps the last 10-15 years will be spent as a single person. At some point in our lives we are all single. So, how we live as a single will determine how fulfilled we will be even if we get married. Singleness can either be a stage of life or a desired state of life.

At times the grass may seem greener on the other side. Singles may long for a marriage partner to bring happiness, while marrieds may secretly long to be single again to escape any dissatisfaction with their partner. So, what does God say about living single? Is it God’s intention that everyone should pursue marriage? Is it possible that marriages struggle because we have not learned to live our single lives as God intended it to be?
