Second Baptist Church Houston October 15, 2023 28m A marriage that sizzles

Planting Hedges I Stephen Bailiff | Cypress Campus

Summary

This sermon concludes a series on strengthening marriages, emphasizing that not all marriages are peaceful and that some are struggling. It references Song of Solomon's imagery of "catching the little foxes" that ruin vineyards to illustrate how we must actively cultivate and protect our marriages, moving from defense (pulling weeds) to offense (building intentionally) to create biblical, one-flesh unions that ultimately strengthen families, communities, and the nation. The practical takeaway is to proactively build and defend your marriage against threats.
