My Heart Will Go On
from Good Shepherd Barrhaven Sermon Stream
Today's culture makes us believe that romantic success is the most important of human achievements. Yet, Jesus himself neither married nor had children. Jesus' teaching tells us that marriage is important, but ultimately a means to an end. It serves to prepare us for the life of resurrection which is to come. Yet, in Christ it is not the only way we are prepared. Instead, the church should offer us a place where both the single and married find opportunities to serve and to grow more fully into maturity Scripture Reference: Luke 20:27-40 Preached on the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost, November 10, 2019 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne Sermon Highlights Information on the Sadducees Information on Israel's marriage practices Jesus gives picture of resurrection life Marriage is meant to help us achieve that, but is not the only thing which can Jesus makes his disciples his family Church should be a place where singles find a true family Marriage provides opportunity to serve like Jesus did Singleness and marriage are twin paths with same goal So, shouldn't feel being one or the other is the most important goal in life
