Rooted in Love

In this sermon, we look at the topic of love in marriage. The Bible has a lot to say about the topic of love. In fact, it’s one of the predominant themes of the entire Bible. God is love, declares the Apostle John. So if that’s the case, if we are building a home, a family, the foundation of that house has to be love. Our marriages need to be rooted in, resting on, founded upon…love.

‌

The problem in this is that we tend to root our marriages in lots of other things, like sex, money, convenience, fear, low self-worth and many other things, but we hardly choose love, if we are honest. Love is one of the most wonderful things in life, but for many of us we avoid it in our marriage, mostly due to the issue we talked about last week, which is self-centeredness. It’s impossible to be self-centered and loving at the same time. That’s a house divided if ever there was one.
