Between a Man and a Woman

This week, we will take a step away from Acts as I begin a series on Men and Women. Originally, I thought I would begin with men and continue on with the women. However, as I have been studying God's Word I have decided that we need to start with a strong foundation. To this end, we will go all the way back to Adam and Eve and start where it all began. For at least the first week we will take a look at God's created order. In the following weeks we will take a closer look at what God requires of men and women.

This series is for all ages from younger adults to mature adults. It doesn't matter if you are single or married. This series is for each of us. I am very conscious of the fact that not everyone in our congregation is either married or happily married. If you are single you will be able to apply God's truth to your life. If you are unhappily married than I pray God's Word would do wonders and miracles in your relationship.

I have chosen to tackle this subject matter while our younger covenant children are participating in S4. S4 is designed for your children to worship and grow in the faith. Although I believe it is important for your children to worship with you on the Lord's Day, I also believe there are times when it is appropriate to offer them different subject matter. Your worship on the Lord's Day should not be limited to an hour or two on Sunday morning. I am encouraging you to allow your children to participate in S4 as we deal with some mature matters over the next 6 weeks. I would also encourage you to stick around for Dr. Betters' sermon series on things your children should know from the Proverbs.

It is my prayer that families and marriages, relationships and hearts would be transformed by God's Word over the next several weeks. Pray that God would bring revival to his people here at GRPC and around the world through the preaching of his Word.
