This document is a summary of the first session of the X3pure Couples Series by Dave and Ann Wilson. It introduces the concept of incorporating biblical principles into marriage. The first principle discussed is "All In," which is based on Colossians 3:23-24. To get the full benefits of marriage and one's relationship with Christ, both partners must give 100% to the marriage. This requires risk, as demonstrated through a story about a couple's 25th wedding anniversary, but can lead to richness when both parties are fully committed.

This document discusses how true security comes only from God, not from wealth or material possessions. While it is natural to seek security, people often misplace their trust in riches instead of trusting in God. The document cites several Bible verses warning that wealth does not guarantee security and can actually be deceiving and lead one away from faith. True security comes from trusting in God, obeying his will, and having faith that he will provide for our needs. The conclusion exhorts the reader to find security through believing in and following Jesus.

The document discusses dealing with differences in marriage. It notes that while marriages are best when couples share values, they often differ in personality. The natural response is to try to change one's spouse, but this usually pushes them away. Instead, the document recommends accepting one's spouse as a gift from God to help us grow, embracing differences, and allowing God to use our spouse to change us rather than trying to change them. This creates a safe environment for communication and intimacy.Restoring Relationships - Part 2
Pastor Rob Paech - 26 July 2009, 2/4
How are your relationships going? Are you experiencing any pain or stress or struggles? Are any of your relationships under stress?
We all find ourselves in those situations from time to time and none of us like to be there. But how do we move beyond that to find healing and wholeness in our relationships?
Lets Strengthen our Marriages
The document discusses ways to strengthen marriages and avoid failures. It identifies key causes of failed marriages like sin, lack of trust, laziness, anger, pride and selfishness. It recommends strengthening communication through talking and listening, making a commitment, learning from God, and fully loving your spouse. Maintaining a marriage takes hard work to identify and address weaknesses while strengthening areas of strength.
Avoid Shattering Your Marriage Dreams
As we start staying together, we start finding discomfort in our marriages. If we don’t handle these issues well, we may find us shattering our own dreams in our marriage.
Hope
Christian hope is defined as a certainty and confidence in our future with God. It gives believers strength to face challenges, teaches patience, and brings encouragement. Christian hope is based on God's promises throughout the Bible, such as the promise of a Messiah for Israel and God's covenant with Abraham. It culminates in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise that he will return. Hope keeps faith and love strong by providing confidence that hardship is not permanent and that God is in control of the future.
More Than A Sermon Slides, 2/6/11
This document discusses factors that often lead people to religious conversion. It notes that on average, the conversion process takes about 3 years and involves a serious life problem in over 60% of cases. Relationships with Christian friends who are praying for them plays a strong role, more so than other religious materials, in over 70% of conversions. Most conversions finally take place in the context of church fellowship rather than in isolation. It also poses questions about how Christians can build relationships and show love to those not yet converted.

Great Sex
1) God's plan for sex is that it occurs within the context of marriage between a man and a woman. Sex is intended to bond a couple together as "one flesh".
2) For singles, God calls them to purity and resisting sexual immorality by focusing on spiritual worship and personal transformation. Dating should be done in groups and with guidance.
3) In marriage, sex should be pure, intimate, unifying the couple through their bodies as recommended in Scripture. Spouses should meet each other's needs and see themselves as servants to their partner.
