    Marriage And The Jesus Follower - Perfecting Intimacy Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 3,043 views

    Desiring God leads to raised awareness of who He is and a raised awareness of who God is leads to reshaped priorities that fit His, and reshaped priorities that fit His condition us to recognize that God is enough and when we recognize God is enough we become completely dependent on Him.

Our goal as followers including those of us who are married is to remain faithful. We started the series on Marriage and the Jesus ...read more

It had historic significance for Sydney and was protected, I think, by the national trust. It angered me when it was vandalised. A part of our ...read more
