The Marriage Ref

It's one of the most popular new shows of the current Spring TV season. And why not. I mean, who hasn't wanted someone to come referee and arbitrate a dispute or incident in our relationships? On the TV show, it's all about entertainment, when celebrities sit in and "wax comedic" about some couple's issues. But in real life, it's serious business, as we sometimes struggle from day to day in our relationships. And deeply, we long for someone to speak truth into our lives about this situation. And if we're really honest, what we're really looking for, a lot of the time, is justification - for what we do, for why we do, and for how we feel.

The sobering truth is that the scriptures tell us that God is the one who justifies (Rom. 8:33). No human being - not a pastor, counselor, lawyer, or judge can do that for us. Only God can. The GREAT news is this: He's on our side, and He roots for our marriage!! That means there are no hopeless situations. There are no circumstances beyond His control. And best of all, He will help us work through them.

In The Marriage Ref series, we've brought together pastors, counselors, and attorneys - all under the truth of God - to breathe new life into your relationship. The series isn't just for the married. It's for everyone, because most of the truth we are talking about has applications in just about everyone's lives.

It's an interactive experience. You've never seen anything like it - in church, at least. We like to say that you'll be challenged, changed, and charged up about your relationships.

See you Sunday!
