On Sunday, we continued our series called "Beginnings" with the message titled "Finding a Spouse: Isaac & Rebekah" (Genesis 24).
- If you know someone who's considering marriage, do whatever it takes to get them to listen to it. It will save some SERIOUS heartbreak to help people avoid diving quickly into a huge mistake.
- How great was it that Jason Henderson was willing to share the letter from his great-grandma that he's been carrying with him for year. What godly wisdom to wait and "See that she has all the needed qualities before the knot is tied."
- Was anyone out there blown away by how their marriage paralled the story of Jesus Christ and his bride the church?
- Abraham, the aged father, pictured God the Father
- Isaac, the beloved son, pictured God the Son (Jesus)
- The servant, sent by the father to find a bride, pictured the Holy Spirit
- Rebekah, the bride who said "Yes" to marriage by faith, pictured you & I, the church
Next weekend, we close out our "Beginnings" series by discussing the book of Job…the entire book of Job…and diving into "The Meaning of Suffering."
Pastor Tim,
Thanks so much for your message on finding a spouse and for insights into the story of Issac and Rebekah. Being single, I sometimes look around the congregation on Sundays and feel like I’m the only one who hasn’t found a spouse, so I really appreciate you addressing this topic!
