Falling in love is easy… all you need is a pulse. Staying in love is hard. That takes intentionality and work. Into the difficulty and darkness that is and was difficult relationships, Jesus speaks words of hope and lays out the foundation for enduring love.

We all expect the ideal… We end up with an ordeal and because our idea of love is so distorted, We think the answer is a new deal.

Truth: You are actually powerless to love your spouse the way you promised you would, the way they dreamed you would and the way God designed that you should.

The Concept of the One-Eighty: The only way marriage works, longterm, is to both be headed toward each other.

There is a major difference between Falling in love vs Staying in love.

Here is the Tension in marriage... We are equipped to fall in love, but we are not equipped to stay in love.

Where’s the Hope?
• John 13:34 (NIV)
• Matthew 5:46 (NLT)

The foundation of staying in love is making love………a verb.

God has created us to rely on each other, as is shown by the "one another" commands in the Scripture. These commands include loving, serving, helping each other bear burdens, encouraging, and confessing to one another. By practicing these one another’s, we become more like Christ and strengthen our devotion to each other.

Resurrection Sunday!
The Cross of Christ is wonderful because the cross won! The cross of Christ gives us life, forgives our sin, cancels the charges against us, takes our sin away, nails our sin to the cross, disarms the devil, shames the evil powers, and claims our forever victory!

"Confused" is a word many would use to describe their understanding of the Holy Spirit. However, the Holy Spirit doesn't need to be confusing. Using the definition of the Trinity, along with how the Spirit Empowers, Purifies, Reveals, and Unifies, we can know well the third person of the trinity.  And in knowing Him well we can be obedient to His calling.  

The Trinity  = God is one in being and three in person.
Being = that which makes you WHAT you are.Person = that which makes you WHO you are.• Think less about the ‘What’, and more about the Work of the Holy Spirit
