And so people who haven't seen it are like, why? What is it we were actually seeing?

I'll be honest.

The first 45 minutes or so of the movie, for me, the most shocking part is that it kind of seemed like Nathan Fielder made a pretty straightforward documentary.

Yeah.

And then the shoe eventually drops, and we're not going to talk about many of the specific details of what exactly that big shift entails.

But more than anything, the characters involved are just unbelievable.

There is Elizabeth Holmes' husband, Billy.

mean, you should, you should talk about it.

Well, we are going to stick on the topic of marriage today, and I'd just like to say at the that God's love, his purpose, his joy for your life is not measured by whether you have a spouse sitting next to you or not.

Regardless of your status, our hope today is that both messages will be profitable to you spiritually.

So the title of our second message today is The Two Great Mirrors of Marriage.

Did you know there's two great mirrors in marriage? Well, that's our title today.

And I'd like to begin this message by turning once again to Genesis chapter 2 and verse 8. all the way back to the beginning, to what is the first marriage that we have here on earth.

Here in Genesis 2, all the way back to the Garden of Eden, when God created the first man, Adam, and God says something really quite remarkable to consider.

[gentle music] Our sermon for today, uh, we have the title, The Son of Man is Coming.

The Son of Man is Coming, and I hope you feel today the weight of that phrase as we now are gonna turn our attention onto full preparation for our observance of the Great Day of Trumpets, pointing us to none other than the return of Jesus Christ himself.

So in our preparation, let's open our Bibles and turn to Luke chapter 12, Luke chapter 12, and we're gonna read verses 35 through 40.

And here in Luke 12, we actually find these stirring words, "The Son of Man is coming." And we also find within this passage what is a striking command and an authoritative warning for us, for God's people specifically, we will see, given to us by Jesus Christ in anticipation of his return.

Here it is, Luke 12.

Let's pick it up in verse 35 here.

[gentle instrumental music] Well, the title of our sermon today is Repentance From Sorrow to Salvation.

Repentance From Sorrow to Salvation.

And that whole concept, that, of the title is found, and I invite you to turn there now, in 2 Corinthians 7:8-13.

2 Corinthians 7:8-13.

This is where we will begin, and as you turn there, I would like to ask and start off with a question this afternoon, and the question is this: Have you ever thanked God for making you sorrowful? It might be a little bit of a strange question because I think I can speak for all of us, we all spend a lot of time trying to avoid sorrow, and in fact, when it comes, we pray for sorrow to leave us.

And if we have a loved one who's suffering from sorrow, we will endeavor to comfort them, and we rejoice when the sorrow has left or has been diminished.

[gentle music] It is a, a beautiful Sabbath day and, uh, a beautiful opportunity then to speak about the Sabbath.

Our topic today, the title is The Story of the Sabbath.

The Story of the Sabbath.

Have you ever wondered why, of all the Ten Commandments, the Sabbath is the only one that is prefaced with the word remember? Well, let me just tell you, it's not coincidental.

It's actually prophetic, where the Almighty God, gazing through the corridors of time, foresaw a day in which His people, His followers, would abandon the Sabbath, the truth of the Sabbath, where the Sabbath, the very cornerstone of creation, would be, if you will, dismantled stone by stone, leaving a foundation which was cracked and compromised.

And so for God to begin His Sabbath command with the word remember, what He was endeavoring to do is to bring His people back to the day, um, and to that gift in which He gave to all of mankind.

[gentle music] Well, for the second message today, the title is The Strength Hidden in Weakness.

The Strength Hidden in Weakness.

And let's open our Bibles together and let's turn to 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.

This is where we're gonna begin.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10.

And as you're finding your place, let me just express that there is a reason that we as the church come to this specific topic routinely in our public worship together, this whole topic, this whole notion of the strength hidden in weakness.

Before our main sermon today, we have a title, The Mystery of the Resurrection.

The Mystery of the Resurrection.

And if you have your Bibles, I invite you to open them up and let's turn to 1 Corinthians 15.

1 Corinthians 15, we're going to begin in verse 1 with this.

this portion of the letter in which Paul, the Apostle Paul, wrote to the Corinthian church.

And I hope you're ready this afternoon, because in coming to these 58 verses, we come to what is the most profound, important doctrines in all the Bible, namely the resurrection of the dead.

I am the creative director there, and we love it.

I'm Jay Ledbetter.

I'm the multimedia designer for Accent Creative Group in Lawrenceville.

[laughs]

What is something from this design conference that would be the top thing that you take away or share with others?

I feel like just making sure to, like, take time to, you know, keep your inspiration up.

I think it's pretty easy to get into, like, a, a cycle of just, like, completing the job.

But, like, making sure that I'm always bringing something new to the table or trying out different techniques is, like, every year that we've been here, this is our third year, um, it's, it's just been nice to have that reminder.
