Biblical Marriage and Family
preaching together initiative February 7, 14 and 21, 2021
CURRENTLY THERE ARE NEARLY 40 CHURCHES WHO HAVE AGREED TO PARTICIPATE!
We are definitely not insisting that you use the messages below verbatim – or even at all. At the very least, we hope they’ll be helpful to give you a foundation to begin from. (These notes are to benefit you. If you can do better on your own without them, no pressure to use these.)
For each date there is a doc file and an mp3. That way you can download and edit the notes to suit you, but you can also listen to the sermon. For some people the listening will be more beneficial. Also, for the second sermon, there are some photo images that correspond to certain points. They’ll work great for video projection.
If you have other ideas (illustrations, further Scriptures, anecdotes, quotes, etc.) that you think others might find helpful, please feel free to email those to us. We’ll do our best to get them posted here on this page so others may benefit from them also.
