Eph 5 – Marriage is a Vehicle of Our Sanctification (pt1 of 3)

August 19, 2013 By ray

Today, we are going to continue our study on the topic of marriage and I want to talk specifically about sanctification in the context of marriage. Before we dive into this new aspect of marriage, I want to revisit and tie up some loose ends from my last sermon 2 weeks ago. After Paul urges […]

Marriage Sermon

March 23, 2012 By ray
