Giving away of the bride

David / Render standing up there

We are together at this place and at this time to celebrate with Michael and Annie their marriage.

The Bible, the Word of God, by which we as believers in Jesus Christ live, tells us that marriage is an honored event.

For the reason of love a man and a woman shall leave the home of their birth to share in love and trust and build a home of their own.

Paul tells us there are many events and different feelings in life. Three are eternal: faith, hope, and love.

But love, the love that is of God and from God, is the greatest of them all. Without the love of God we would be empty people and lack the power to face life and its problems.

Nor would we have any real hope for tomorrow.

Who gives this woman to be married to this man?

Challenge to Couple / Bible Verse - David

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

1 Corintios 13:4–8 ESV

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

This passage of scripture describes the greatest form of love anyone could ever express

This is a self sacrificing love

It is a love that chooses it’s target and never lets go

It doesn’t expect anything in return

This love continues despite the other party’s behavior or response

This love was shown by Jesus as He died on the cross while we were yet sinners

This is the love this world needs today

This is the love that our marriages need today

It’s easy to see love as a feeling that comes and goes

But true love is action, commitment, service, sacrifice

It is laying your life down daily for the one you chose to pursue

Michael, there will be days when you don’t feel like loving your new bride, do it any way

There will be days where she could be considered unlovely

And on those days you must make the decision to live out the commitment you made on May 28th, 2021 in Chattanooga, TN

Do not seek your own, do not be arrogant, rude, boastful or envious

Seek Annie’s wellbeing, humble yourself, be kind, be patient and God will bless your marriage for it

Choose to love like Jesus loves us, unconditionally and unselfishly

Annie, I’m sure there will be more days where he is unlovely

There will be days where it isn’t easy to love this wonderful husband you are about to marry

Many times a short response, a rude word will cause you to want to seek revenge

There will be plenty of times where the “feelings” fade away and all you are stuck with is a decision

I encourage you to remember and live out the commitment you made on May 28th, 2021 in Chattanooga, TN

Seek to serve him

Seek to make him a success

Choose to not be self centered or to seek your own

Choose to love like Jesus loves us, unconditionally and unselfishly
