WATCHhttps://youtube.com/live/Lcj4bYWrYacSERMON NOTEShttps://sermons.church/archived?church=brooksidechurchfw&sermonid=53231In this message, we explore the concept of being present in your marriage. We touch on the purpose of mankind, how sin has affected the fulfillment of that purpose, and the restoration of our natures back to the original design. We also discuss the distinct methods for men and women to satisfy their purpose and cover the concepts of naming, authority, and submission. We redefine the concept of women as a helper and introduce a new series focusing on fighting together with a spouse against common enemies.BAPTISMhttps://youtu.be/8QYB7um3CIULINKSGiving: https://brookside.org/giveThe Weekly Guide: https://www.brookside.org/infoConnect: https://brksd.church/connectPrayer & Support: https://brksd.church/careDISCUSSION QUESTIONS1.
