COUPLES MINISTRY God
Creates The Spirit Man and Woman KJV Genesis
1:26-27 26.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth. 27.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them. God
Creates Man in the Flesh KJV Genesis
2:7 7.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. First
Arranged Marriage KJV Genesis
2:18-24 18
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I
will make him an help meet for him. 19
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and
every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call
them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name
thereof. 20
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for
him. 21
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man. 23
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave
unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Why
Join the Couples Ministry? There
is a tendency for the spiritual nature of man and the spiritual aspect of
marriage to be minimized in most relationships. Many view marriage as an
unequal partnership designed to help you get things, raise children and just
avoid being alone. The fact that both men and women were made in God’s image
prior to man’s creation from the dust indicates that there is a relationship
within a marriage that is entirely spiritual. KJV 2
Corinthians 6:14 14.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath
light with darkness? KJV 1
Corinthians 7:14 14.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the
unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children
unclean; but now are they holy. The goal of the
couples ministry is to build upon the spiritual strengths that are available
through Christ to strengthen marriages, whole families and our church. By
combining fellowship and social activities with workshops, seminars and retreats
we should be able to increase the interaction between the men, women and
children of the church and ultimately affect our whole community. We will strive
to solidify individual bonds between man/ wife, parent/child and family/church
by focusing on the personal relationship that each of us has with God. Mature
Christians have the ability to affect whole households, communities and are the
effectual backbone of the church. Marriages that yield to God are stronger and
often inspire young adults to not give up hope in eventually having that family
that they often pray for and to not give up when the storms of life encompass
them. How
will we do this? 1. Share the joys
and struggles of marriage and raising children with others who are in the same
boat as you. 2. Find other
couples that would be there for each other during good times and not so good
times. 3. Plan GETAWAYS as
a couples or as men and women to strengthen social bonds. 5. SEMINARS designed
to: Equip
couples with proven skills and tools in fighting for their marriages. |
