We live in a media driven culture, we run so fast we have to find time to record our favorite TV programs and find time to watch them later. How about you? What's on your 'TV'? The Bible talks about our lives being recorded in the book of life. Is your life worth recording? Join us for our four part series 'What's on your TV?" The schedule for each week's message is:
May 20 "24" – Living each moment as if it were our last. (2 Peter 1:3-9)
May 27 "Desperate Households" - our closest relationships (Joshua 24:14-15)
June 3 "The Office" - our careers/work (Colossians 3:23-24)
June 10 "CSI Sioux Falls" – investigating our purpose and mission S.H.A.P.E. (1 Corinthians 12:4-7)

Our hope and desire is that you would see God active in all parts of your day, in the moment...every 24 hours, at the office or wherever you work, in your homes and around our city.

It is very humbling to know that God is “recording” our lives each and every day. How can we withstand that kind of intense scrutiny? I am so thankful for all that we learned in our last sermon series (GRACE=God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense). The “tape” of everything that I have done wrong in my life is erased and I get to start over!
In our “Desperate Households” today, marriages crumble over simple misunderstandings and a lack of communication. The Bible tells us how we should treat our spouses:
Ephesians 5:21-26:
“21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. 24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her 26 to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.”
The word “submission” may have a negative effect on some people….I know that it did on me until a friend gave me a good definition of submission:
“Submission means giving up the right of equality and taking the role lower than the one served. For most in the U.S., this would seem demeaning, but for Christians…this is our ‘high road.’”
Both husbands and wives need to “submit” and take the role of the servant in order for a marriage to work. At Rejoice!, we are blessed to have a community that is always willing to take on the role of servant. That is how Christ wants us to live.
