Marriage 911: We've Lost Hope

New Hope Community Church, Robbie Lankford
Many of us feel like our marriages are on the brink of falling apart, but we don’t know what to do. In this message series, we’re going to talk about some of the biggest issues we face in marriage and the answers God wants to give us for those challenges.Marriage 911: “We've Lost Hope#1. Giving some graceMatthew 18: 21-35Ephesians 4: 32 Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.#2. Focusing on holiness more than happinessI Thessalonians 4: 3a For this is the will of God, your sanctification...Romans 8: 29a For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son...“What if marriage was meant to make you HOLY more than it was to make you HAPPY?”“If you shoot for happy, it will not make you holy. BUT, if you shoot for holy, it will end up making you happy!”#3. Having hope for the future Psalm 27: 13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.Jeremiah 29: 11 For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare (good things) and not for calamity (bad things) to give you a future and a hope.Romans 8: 31-32, 35-3931 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, “FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.” 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.I Cor. 13: 7-8a (Love) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails...
