Pastor Bramwell preached this sermon on marriage, church membership, and the majestic Word of the Lord on December 5, 2021, for the Second Sunday in Advent (Populus Zion).
Sermon Notes
How is marriage bigger than one man and his wife?
Who else is involved in the public pledge of sacrificial love that husband and wife make in Holy Matrimony?
What has the Affirmation of Holy Matrimony impressed upon us this morning?
What will pass away? What will not pass away? How does this encourage you?
Why do we welcome one another and new members?
After the sermon, consider the membership questions that Pastor will ask. If you’re already a member, is your answer still, “I do”? If you are not a member and can answer “I do” to the questions, please schedule a time to speak with Pastor about uniting your voice with ours to the glory of God!
