The Theology of Marriage - Adrienne Yates
The document discusses the theology of marriage from both a foundational and symbolic level. At the foundational level, marriage is a covenant between a man and woman that reveals God's love for one another. Symbolically, marriage represents the relationship between Christ and the Church. When a couple exchanges vows and rings at their wedding, they are committing to a lifelong partnership of faithful and fruitful love as ordained by God. This sacrament of marriage establishes the couple as a domestic church who are called to witness Christ's presence through their selfless love for each other and their community.

The real deal
The document discusses Jesus being tested by Jewish Church leaders and the Pharisees. They first tried to flatter Jesus to lower his guard.

The document discusses different types of giving and encourages focusing on the heart behind donations rather than the amount. It outlines five points about noticing whether giving is done proportionately, based on what is left over, or with significance. The conclusion emphasizes that pleasing giving is done out of love for God rather than to seem religious, and asks the reader to reflect on the motivations behind their past giving and how to improve.

His encounter with Jesus brought him salvation and changed his life.
