Well, would you turn with me this evening to the book of Ephesians, and we're going to begin our marriage meeting.

Believe with me, we're going to pray in here just a minute, but believe with me for utterance.

I'm going to speak tonight.

Right now we're planning on Phyllis speaking tomorrow night and uh we may do some things a

little bit differently we're just this is our pilot on this isn't it i mean we've we've never done

this before and phyllis and i have taught on this subject before many times but uh not exactly

like this and we are just as open as we know how to be we've prayed and prepared and looked

at a lot of things but i believe that this is the beginning of something very substantial and i

believe that the seeds sewn in these meetings will make a big difference and that then this will grow

and this could become a very formidable meeting in time to come.

Even I'm talking about even size-wise and strength-wise.

And you and I need to get it right.

Amen.

So believe with me and help us to get it right so that we can build upon this and develop from here.

In fact, let's just join our faith together right now.

We leave your faith and let's pray together. Father God, we thank you for our church family.

We thank you for everything that you have said and done for us in our lives family wise.

And we present ourselves before you and say, Lord, this is your meeting. These are your

times. We come before you and sit to hear and to see and to receive. Show us what you would say

to us and do in our lives concerning marriage. Reveal to us everything we need to know and understand correct any wrong thinking that

we've had show the errors and dispel the lies and the darkness and confusion and make known to

us the fullness of the truth in this area that we may be free and that your word may be known and shown in our lives
