Grace And Peace

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Jan 3, 2023

Committing A G-Rated Marriage Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 22, 2006

My original premise for this sermon was "strong Christian marriages are built upon the commitment the Christian has to their marriage" - but I don’t believe that anymore... find out why.
