Week Four: He Said, She Said
Message Title: “’Till Death Do Us Part”
Scripture: Song of Solomon 7 & 8
MESSAGE RECAP:
In week four Pastor Daniel concluded the series, He Said She Said, with a message entitled “Till Death Do Us Part”
Looking at the interaction between Solomon and his wife in chapter 7, Pastor highlighted four principles that lead to a “Till Death DO Us Part” kind of marriage.
Principle #1 - A Heart of Service!
Pastor showed how Solomon positioned himself in a place of service at her feet. Signifying that he was there to serve her and encourage her and bless her.
Principle #2 - A Deepening Trust
This means you have to communicate beyond the day-to-day issues of life of work and school until you get to the place of exposing the heart.
This means honesty, integrity! This means being completely transparent to one another even when it hurts or could be potentially painful.
Principle #3 - A Growing Passion!!
Your best years should not be behind you!! They should be in front of you!!
But this requires intentionality. It requires that you build into the relationship in the beginning what you want in the end.
Principle #4 - An unyielding commitment
This is seen clearly in Chapter 8:6-7 when Solomon’s wife says “place me as a seal over your heart and on your arm”. She was speaking to the permanence of marriage, the finality of marriage.
She goes onto say that her love for him is an unyielding as the grave.
Pastor concluded sharing the story of how his mother cared for his father during a seven year period of extreme illness. He said that through those years he saw first hand a picture of unyielding commitment. A commitment that says for better for worse, for rich or for poorer, in sickness and in health Till Death Do Us Part!
