Did you miss Sunday's message? Pastor Randy spoke on Colossians 3:18-21.

It's easy to take each other for granted in marriage. Time, familiarity, and human nature are all contributors. It's vital to never forget that your spouse is perhaps God's most obvious blessing in your life! Maybe you agree, maybe you don't. Consider the following.
If we REALLY believe in the gospel, our greatest treasure must be Christ. As his followers, we are called to be molded, refined, and remade into Christ-like people. This truth remains whether your marriage is great or going through a rough patch.
In times of joy and hardship, your marriage is a reminder of the selfless love and grace needed by you and supplied by Christ on the cross. In marriage, you GIVE grace and love, then you RECEIVE grace and love—both in portions and ways only available in covenantal marriage.
Whatever season you're going through, your spouse is one of God's most obvious blessings. The beauty of a lifelong covenant is that it gives love enough time and room to mature into something truly lasting.
Your marriage is a gift and a blessing from God himself. Hold tight to that truth!
Always remember what a blessing your spouse is—and tell him/her that you appreciate them regularly.
In fact, start by tagging him/her in the comments with a kind word or two!
Stay fierce,
Ryan & Selena
