Today’s service at New Life Bible was one-of-a-kind. Instead of the usual message, we had a discussion on Relationships, Weddings and Marriage from a six-member Panel prayerfully-chosen by the Senior Pastor.
Pastor Richard Jama moderated while the members of the Panel spoke using some of the pre-selected questions at guidelines.
Some of the questions used are:
- Is physical maturity relevant in a relationship and marriage?
- Am I ready to get into a relationship for marriage?
- Am I physically, mentally, spiritually and psychologically mature and prepared to handle and run a home – along with caring for another person?
- Am I prepared to “leave” my parents behind and take decisions along with my spouse after the wedding?
- Am I prepared to share my life with another person? (my interests, vision etc)
These questions and more are under the heading of THE ROLE OF PERSONAL MATURITY & DISCIPLINE which was how far we got today.
Apart from the Panel-members giving their biblical and personal points of view, members of the congregation had the opportunity to ask questions and contribute as well. It was a glorious time in the Lord.
The congregation is waiting patiently for the continuation of the discussion next week. You can join us; we will be glad to welcome you.
