M&M's: Sweetening Up our Family Life
Ernest Easley
Hebrews 13.4
June 10, 2007
We are learning these days from God's Word how to sweetening up our family life. Every home could use some sweetening up .. including yours! And that's our hope these days! That God will use these four messages we're simply calling M&M's: to not only sweeten up .. but to straighten up and strengthen our families!
Now the last two times together .. you were given a package of M&M on the way out .. not to eat .. but to hand to somebody inviting them to worship and to learn how to sweeten up their family life.

You and I are not owners of anything but we are stewards of everything. And one of these days .. as stewards . we're going to give an account to the owner of what we did with that which was under our guardianship.
OWNERSHIP .. STEWARDSHIP .. and finally the principle of PARTNERSHIP. That in marriage .. we have at least a 3-fold partnership. We have a partnership with our SPOUSE in making and managing money. We have a partnership with the SAINTS in ministry and missions. And of course we have a ...
