Sermon

We know that love is the central and main pillar of any relationship.

Ephesians 4:2

2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

1 Peter 4:8

8 Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Love unites us and sustains us

The love that is manifested in a marriage is the source that nourishes a relationship, and who produces that love is God.

The scriptures tell us that God loved us first.

And that is the confidence every marriage has, that the source of love will never run dry, because God is the provider of it.

Use that love as the main ingredient to edify (build) the person next to you.

You are about to start the most important stage of your lives and its true love (the love that God produces in you) that will carry you and lead you.

God's true love Not a love contaminated with rules and punishments.

And because we know that the perfect love of God that casts out all fear.

We encourage you to enter this new stage of your life with courage, because you have God's covering

Carlos, Diane. My hope is that you never forget that in times of difficulty, you will always have God's love to start over.

And when you reach the summit, when everything goes well, Do not forget that it was the love of God that led you there.

Before continuing, I would like to prayer over your lives. Please join me in prayer

Lord Jesus, you are Love.

Lord we give you the authority to fill this place and the lives of this couple with your presence and authority.

May your presence cover Carlos and Diane cover them.

May they never forget that they have been blessed and nothing and no one can steal that from them.

It is in your name Jesus that we prayer. Amen

Before we continue I want to remind you that Gods word in your lives is important

Luke 11:28

28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”

When you have questions, or challenged you will always have the answer in the scriptures.

and when you feel that you feel that theres more need than resources. Remember the following scripture

Philippians 4:19

19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

Unity

Philippians 2:2

2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

There is power in Unity.

And thats what we came to witness today. Unity in marriage.

Unity that tells the world that from today on out, you will be one.

Unity Candle and the reason we celebrate it
