Overcoming Rejection by Doing Good (Mark 6) – Following The Way of Jesus #8

Does Jesus Care? (Mark 5) – Following The Way of Jesus #7

How To Be In Jesus\’ Family (Mark 3-4) – Following The Way of Jesus #5

In Pursuit of Marriage (Song of Songs 1-3)
It can be tough out here on the dating scene. God doesn\’t *exactly* give us a manual for dating, but the first chapters of Song of Songs provides us with wisdom to guide our mindset and approach to the pursuit of marriage.
Marriage and Divorce
Jesus was extremely clear on the matter of divorce. His prohibitive standard compels those who follow him to remain true to their spouses, and it points us to the essence and significance of marriage.
