I Will Decide that Marriage is for Life
From Series: "Decide! (Hillside Theme - 2024)"
The word for Hillside in 2024 is "Decide." Will we choose to follow God, or will we choose to serve ourselves?

A message from the series “Conversations With Jesus.” Jesus’ healing of the lame man by the pool of Bethesda was significant, not the least of which is because it’s one of the first times in John’s Gospel that He states unequivocally that He is equal with God.
It’s a theme that He would repeat throughout the entire book, and a theme that John would emphasize. It’s worth considering for our own lives as well.

CloseThe word of the year for Hillside is "Decide," and few things are more necessary for us to decide on than that marriage is for life. A lot of people have an "emotionally-based" relationship, where how they "feel" about things dictates how that relationship will go. I have absolutely nothing against emotion in a marriage (it should definitely be there), but I don't think it should be the sole driving determinant in a marriage either. Why? Because when our emotions change, we'll look for something that gives us that same *spark* we once had. Which is a recipe for disaster. When we decide that marriage is for life, however, a few things change. For the better.
