Satan’s strategy to bring about our family’s destruction is always through family division, but the goal in times of division should always be redemption. You must choose to build a bridge and use prayer for marriage reconciliation. Reconciliation will not come unless spouses pray together and decide to die for themselves. 4 Steps to Reconciliation: • Have a heart of humility • Take responsibility • Give and receive forgiveness continually • Extend much grace and mercy How To Pray a Prayer for Marriage Reconciliation: • Thank God for your spouse • Repent of anything you’ve done to mistreat your spouse • Ask God’s blessing over your house and marriage • Ask God to guard your spouse and marriage from the wicked one Join Pastor Phil as he shares a prayer for marriage reconciliation and how to build a bridge to close the gap between you and your spouse.

In marriage, there is no struggle for control of the throne when Jesus alone sits on the throne of your home. The way to end the battle of the sexes and establish roles in marriage is for men and women to get off the throne and let God build their homes! IF YOU DON’T WANT A MARRIAGE ON THE ROCKS, DON’T ROCK THE ROLLS Responsibilities are interchangeable; roles aren’t! In marriage, men and women are equal, but we’re not the same – we differ in function. Our society has tried to reverse the roles, erase the roles, and rock the roles, but it’s God who ultimately defines the roles in marriage! SUBMISSION IS WHAT ENDS THE COMPETITION God’s blessing on the family always flows through a chain of command. The key to overcoming marital conflict and division is mutual submission. When a husband and wife are in submission to God, they will naturally be in submission to each other. God puts authority in our lives not to oppress us but to protect and bless us. The wife submits to her husband’s lead, and the husband submits to his wife’s needs! When a man and a woman choose humility and submit to their spiritual authority, God brings peace and prosperity to their family. Join Pastor Phil as he further unpacks the roles in marriage and God’s expectations for husbands and wives.

In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus teaches us what the Bible says about marriage. He reminds us that the foundation for your house – your marriage – must be the Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ! WHAT A CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE SHOULD LOOK LIKE We live in a time of self-idolatry and anarchy. Homes around us are suffering because couples aren’t willing to die to their flesh and serve their spouses. When you say, “I do,” at the altar, you say, “I die,” too. A Christian marriage should be filled with… The fear of the Lord – submitting to God’s authority brings peace instead of anarchy. Obedience to God’s Word – we can’t live abundantly apart from living obediently. When your house becomes God’s house, your home can survive a firestorm of destruction. THE BIBLICAL FRAMEWORK OF MARRIAGE Marriage is about a commission (Genesis 2:18). Adam did not need someone to complete him but rather someone to help in his God-given commission. Marriage is about a crucifixion (Genesis 2:19-22). Adam “died” giving life to his bride like Jesus died giving life to His bride, the Church. Marriage is about a covenant (Genesis 2:23-24). Adam understood the covenant nature of his relationship with his bride, saying, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.” Marriage is about a companion (Genesis 2:25). Adam and Eve were “naked” and “not ashamed” both physically and spiritually. They were fully known and fully loved in perfect intimacy. Christian marriage is not built on a contract but a binding, unbreakable, and irrevocable covenant. Contracts are built on terms and conditions that can be voided, but a covenant is unconditional and unbreakable. The Bible says marriage is a picture of the covenant relationship between Christ and His bride—the Church. If you want your marriage to be blessed by God, you must choose to submit to His way today. Join Pastor Phil as he illustrates what the Bible says about marriage using examples of castles built on the rock that have withstood the test of time.

You might build a house, but only the Lord can build your home. If your house is not built on the firm foundation of God’s Word, it will not be able to withstand the storms of life. YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LOCATION AND THE RIGHT FOUNDATION! The difference between homes that last and homes that don’t are where they’re built and how they’re built! You must make the Son of God the location and the Word of God your foundation. HOW YOU LET THE LORD BUILD YOUR HOUSE: • Let the Word of God be your foundation, and Jesus be your location. • Submit to God’s authority. • Commit your life to the Son of God and choose to obey the Word of God Jesus is the ultimate builder of any home, and He alone must determine its placement and position. Apart from submitting to God’s authority, our families will be in anarchy. You cannot be blessed by God apart from living obediently to God.

In 2 Thessalonians 3, Paul teaches us how what God says about hard work, how we should work, and the mentality we are to have about work. WHY GOD CALLS US TO WORK • God calls us to work because it reflects our dependence on Him, using His strength and resting in His grace and love as we further His Kingdom. • God calls us to work so we aren’t a burden to others but also to help and provide for those who can’t work. The Bible tells us that we are God’s workmanship and created in Jesus to do good works, which He prepared in advance for us. So then, when we work and engage with those around us to glorify God, we are fulfilling what God designed us to do. 2 THESSALONIANS 3:9-14 TELLS US HOW TO WORK AND WHAT IT DOES • “... not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us. For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread. But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.” Join Pastor Chad Glover as he further unpacks 5 things hard work does. • Sets an example (vs. 9) • Provides for people (vs. 10) • Prevents disorder (vs. 11) • Makes you weary (vs. 13) • Brings honor (vs. 14) Don’t forget to click the “bell” to SUBSCRIBE to get more videos like this to grow your faith! • Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels • Be a part of the Great Commission: https://livingproof.co/irresistible/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Paul writes to the Thessalonian church about the prophetic events related to the Day of the Lord. He warns them about the great deception, the same deception Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24:24, “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” THE PROPHETIC EVENTS RELATED TO THE DAY OF THE LORD… 1. The great apostasy of the modern Church The great “falling away” prophesied by the Apostle Paul is a “super sign” that the rapture of the Church is near. While there have always been “Christians” and “churches” that have “fallen away,” it has never been as widespread and “en masse” as now. God describes the end-times “Church” as a “harlot” because she has prostituted the truth with lies! Revelation 17:5, “And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” 2. The rapture of the true Church Paul is very clear that the Holy Spirit is currently restraining Satan and unmitigated evil from complete world dominion. It’s currently God’s Spirit in God’s people restraining Satanic wickedness from complete world domination. But when God’s Spirit leaves with God’s people at the rapture of the Church, all restraint will be removed too. 3. The emergence of the Antichrist The Antichrist will be a political leader who will unite the world into a global governance and a global system of commerce. He will broker a seven-year peace treaty with Israel and her enemies, allowing the Jews to rebuild their temple. (See Daniel 9:27) The temple must be rebuilt because the Jews will be worshiping in the temple at the time the Antichrist breaks the peace treaty midway through the tribulation. 4. The deception of the masses of humanity After the rapture, God will bring condemnation through a strong delusion on all those who had heard the truth of the gospel but had rejected it. There will be worldwide revival among those who have never heard the gospel prior to the rapture (Revelation 7). But those who knew the truth and rejected it will believe a lie and follow the Antichrist, damning their own souls. 5. The destruction of Satan’s kingdom Satan will reign through the Antichrist over a world kingdom for a short season. But his diabolical reign of terror will end with Christ’s return to the earth at the end of the seven-year tribulation. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he digs deep into the prophetic events related to the Day of the Lord and tells you how you can prepare for what is coming.

God counted the Thessalonians worthy because their faith was costly. A faith that costs nothing, demands nothing, and does nothing, is worth nothing. TRUE SAVING FAITH… Cannot be ruined in the fire of life’s trials Can only be refined SATAN TEMPTS. GOD TESTS. What Satan hopes will ruin your faith, God is using to refine your faith. WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS SERMON… The “fire” of today cannot compare to the FIRE Jesus will bring someday! It will not be a refiner’s fire. It will be judgment fire. When you reject God’s grace, all that is left is God’s wrath. The way you walk through the door of eternal life is by letting Jesus walk through the door of your life. To God, there is only one thing that makes you worthy of eternal life—the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pastor Phil Hopper gives you a message of encouragement and inspiration about what true faith looks like.
