Many people think they will be able to change their prospective spouse once they are married to them.  But Pastor Ford reminds us today that it’s a very dangerous thing to think that you’re going to change somebody.  That strategy almost certainly leads to disappointment and unmet expectations.

According to scripture, God has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness, and that includes marriage. And when God gives us instructions, what we need to do is just follow them. Pastor Ford urges married folks to heed the instructions in God’s word in order to have healthier marriages. That’s on today’s Treasured Truth.

On today’s Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford continues to encourage single women to really look deeply at a person before leaping into marriage with them. As we conclude this part of our study for those considering marriage from Genesis 2, Pastor Ford will share 5 principles that can be used to evaluate a man before marrying him.

Others can tell how much we love Jesus by the way we serve Him. They can tell by the way we give to Him.  They can tell by the way we worship Him.  You see, a lot of us have a fake “Zirconium Jesus.” Because if we all had a real “Diamond Jesus” then there’d be nothing that would keep us from going crazy...

Pastor Ford will remind us that the Apostle Paul essentially encouraged us to not ever take our eyes off Christ and put our eyes on our problems or our pain.  By maintaining what Pastor Ford calls an abiding vision of God, Paul was able to accept his suffering when God chose not to remove it from his life. ...

As we begin to look at the story of Mary and Joseph in the book of Matthew, Pastor Ford will talk about how it was apparent that Joseph’s character enabled him to deal with Mary’s announcement that she was going to have a child.  There were many ways he could have responded, but he listened to God, obeyed.

Have you ever considered why as believers, we do what we do?  Why do we want to know Christ more clearly?  For His sake.  Why do we want to love Him more dearly?  For His sake.  And why do we want to follow Him more nearly? Pastor Ford will remind us today that it’s all for the sake of Jesus! Find out more on today’s Treasured Truth.

The precipitation for our praise is based on Who God is—it's because He has intrinsic glory. In other words, there’s nothing that’s added to Him that makes Him glorious. We praise because He’s God all by Himself—He’s omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. And He’s worthy of our praise!

As we take a closer look at the story of the unjust steward that we read about in Luke 16, we’ll learn that Jesus was definitely not commending his dishonesty.  But rather, He was commending the fact that the steward did something that demonstrated he was handling his money wisely.  To learn more, join us for today’s Treasured Truth.

Today, Pastor Ford will explain that our salvation through Jesus can actually be described in financial terms.  Through His sacrifice, Jesus became the investment.  And as He redeems us, we become the dividends of His investment.
