God’s Intention for Marriage
God’s Intention for Marriage (Hebrews 13:4)
Marriage between a man and a woman has been important to God from the beginning of time Gen. 2:18, Gen. 2:24
1. Marriage should be honoured by all (Heb. 13:4a)
2. The marriage bed should be kept pure (Heb. 13:4b)
3. Judgment is certainly coming (Heb. 13:4c)
Whatever Happened To Sin?
Whatever Happened To Sin?
1. Whatever happened to sin?
2. Whatever happened to the penalty for sin?
3. Whatever happened to the remedy for sin?
The world may be ignoring these, but they are real nonetheless!
Where has sin gone today?
Is there anything in the world today which is considered to be sin?
Is sin only that which we decide is sin today? (i.e., Sin is being greatly watered down these days)
As cultures change, does sin really change?
Let’s keep teaching about sin, its penalty, and its remedy – to help those caught in the devil’s trap (like we ourselves once were)
How to Stay Saved
How to Stay Saved
I would like to base today’s lesson on Acts 2:42 for a couple of reasons:
- It relates to the beginning of the kingdom/church (cf. Acts 11:15).
- It follows directly after the 3,000 were saved (Acts 2:37-41; note the word “saved” in v. 40).
- e., Verse 38 = how to be saved.
- Verse 42 = how to stay

Rom 15:4 (4) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
