Beloved Friends,
As we begin this new week, I invite you to reflect on a truth that is both simple and profound: marriage is not a man-made arrangement—it is a God-ordained covenant.
In Sunday’s message, we looked deeply into the First Pillar of a God-Centered Life: keeping God as our focus. This pillar is the cornerstone of a strong and lasting marriage. Just as a house needs a solid foundation, a marriage needs something greater than feelings, compatibility, or even shared goals. It needs Christ.
Jesus teaches us in Matthew 7:24–25 (NLT) that the wise builder lays his foundation upon the rock. The storms of life are inevitable, but when a marriage is built upon God’s truth and love, it stands firm against the fiercest winds. This isn’t just symbolic—it’s spiritual fact.
Whether you are newly married, have weathered many years together, or are preparing for the future, I urge you to examine the foundation of your relationship. Is it rooted in Christ? Are you building with His Word, seeking Him daily, and trusting Him fully?
There is no shame in needing to rebuild. God, in His infinite mercy, specializes in restoration. When we place Him back at the center, He strengthens what once was weak and renews what was nearly broken.
This week, let us begin again—building, praying, and loving on the Rock.
With a shepherd’s heart,
Brother Jesse
