    Paul describes the great mystery of Christ’s passionate love for the church through the relationship of the husband and wife. What does it look like for the Church to have a passionate relationship with Jesus? It begins with SUBMISSION.

    What does it mean to know God? It is not intellectual knowledge about Him. Knowing God involves having a vibrant intimate personal relationship with Him. This relationship should be ongoing, ever growing, and maturing.

    1. THE FIRST SPIRITUAL SECRET - Jesus said that God is a Spirit and we must have a spiritual connection. (John 4:24) Therefore, we need the Holy Spirit to make God known to us.

     | 7,128 views

    Throughout the bible God's relationship with his people is often referred to as a marriage relationship. He is our husband, we are his bride. So, what kind of husband is God? Let's find out.

    1) Betrothed. The first part of a Jewish wedding ceremony is the betrothal. We would liken it to an engagement.

    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,137 views

    Jesus goes beyond the legal matters again. The CASE you have against someone is not as important as the RELATIONSHIP you have with them. Jesus emphasizes that the RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT. Sometimes we don’t want it to be more important.

To this day, I don’t know why he wrote it. It was so vicious and untrue, but he had built up a case against me and ...read more
