From the sermon series "Family Business"
As we've been looking into this passage of Scripture on the biblical teaching of marriage and family, we've been using the analogy of a pair of scissors. We've seen Paul is very fair and balanced as he addresses the people involved in these relationships.
Perhaps there is someone who wonders in today's world, "Can a minister really have any possible influence on the world around us?" If Karl Barth was right when he talked about having the Bible in one hand and The New York Times in the other, then we might have something to learn today.
We now live in a society where the attention span is dramatically reduced. Yet I don't think you can really change a life in a 25-minute message. I think it takes a more significant amount of time.

Sometimes the resurrection seems to good to be true, but this Easter sermon challenges us to be the living proof. The world needs an appearance of Jesus and a word from Him. Will it come from you and me?
When people get married, they often say, "We have decided to "tie the knot." Given the numbers of people who are deciding not to tie the knot at the present time, I think that is an admirable decision.
I try to point out to them that when we think in terms of Christian marriage, it's not so much two people deciding to tie the knot as God deciding to join two people together. It's not so much a human decision as a divine action. Marriage is all about God joining two people together. I say this on no less of an authority than Jesus Christ Himself. In fact, He went even further, saying, "Whom God, therefore, has joined together, no man should separate!"
In difficult, disappointing circumstances, this sermon challenges us not to let faulty perspectives block the light from our eyes. An Easter encounter on the road to Emmaus encourages us to view life through God's eyes, surrender our expectations, and acknowledge the resurrection of Jesus Christ and stake our future on it!
