 Good afternoon pastor David. It is isn't it? Church family welcome to unfiltered. We're gonna do something different pastor church family today This is gonna be a brief video because what we want to do is change the format a little bit Tuesdays we would talk normally talk about current events, but Beginning now since you'll be down the road any fusions on our Wednesday evening service You'll start teaching doing a series of research on marriage in the family So I want to start teasing that out. So we would do brief snippets Introduce our Thursday topic, which will be a little bit more not long But a little bit more in-depth interview on the specific topics regarding marriage in the family So today pastor, I wanted to just give our audience or those who are viewing just a brief Importance of the importance of the family importance of the Christian family well Yeah, that's a good question. It's a Christian family important. You know, I've been sharing recently That out of the book of Malachi when God says that he hates divorce He spoke concerning what marriage was he said I have this against you You're divorcing the wives of your youth and all of that But he goes into sharing how important marriage is but he made it He made a very strong statement that I think sometimes the church fails to remember and and that is that he Spoke concerning the fact that he wanted godly offspring so part of the purpose of a family of faith is the transmission of that faith to the offspring and because God had a plan for for Humanity and this plan is going to span centuries. Well, there is in his plan. There was a an intent To communicate the faith to the children who in turn would do the same so in in marriage because marriage is the union of a man and a woman and Is it is God's plan through that union that they should Multiply and replenish the earth as he says in the book of Genesis God's intention is in marriage seeing that he's the author creator of it that That two should be joined together to become the one that they should produce children who worship and fear him and walk in his ways and That these children should communicate the same to their children and so generationally God has a People that are called after his name and so marriage is that Incredibly important Foundation that I believe the church has failed to understand in terms of its Importance tomorrow. I'll be sharing out of Ephesians for example in chapter 4 and A rather chapter 5 and I'll be sharing a little bit about Where Paul makes the statement that certain things should not be found Amongst the brethren there at the the church of Ephesus and Ephesus was a city that was known for its sexual immorality and debauchery and so this Sexual parasitism fornication. Let it not be named Even mentioned as being part of the the family of God here in the church, right? And so there's an intent, you know that God would have for for the family to be intact and pure Then it should have a holiness that's involved in it and that there should be a sexual purity amongst the people of God All of these things are found throughout scripture from Genesis to the revelation You know God invents marriage if you will creates it in chapter 3 of Genesis in the last chapter of the book of Revelation He makes it very clear that fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God. I mean, so it's very clear That God had a plan for mankind and he says outside of the kingdom are the dogs and the sorcerers and Fornicators they mean includes that within the confines of those who are not allowed into the kingdom And the Apostle Paul made it very clear in 1st Corinthians in chapter 6 that That we were to have Proper relationships within the confines of of our marriages and all and we'll be seeing that we'll be looking at that in detail And so what I on Thursday, that's the topic I'd like to introduce in it in a little bit more in depth to ask questions about that That would give us some insight in the Christian marriage and family as you begin this series And so this was a teaser church friends and family tune in on Thursday as we will have a little bit more of an interview style and Asking particular questions of the importance of the Christian family marriage and marriage in the family And hopefully they'll be with us tomorrow because I'll be sharing on On that the subject that is going to end up with looking at Wives husbands children etc. So church family come on out at 7 p.m. tomorrow Ephesians chapter 5 correct chapter 5. Yes And so it's a great opportunity to invite friends and family and then join us again for our Sunday morning services at 8 30 and 10 45 and again, we look forward to Thursday as we dive a little bit deeper in this and and a good Good teaser would even come to service tomorrow evening. I'd love to have them and so that'd be great pastor Thank you so much for your time. Thank you guys for tuning in and we'll see you on see you tomorrow night Hopefully and we'll see you on Thursday.
