SERMON NOTES:
Beginning Well – Is there a secret?
“… the divorce rate in America is at a minimum one out of two marriages. But the reported divorce rate among couples that pray together is about one in ten thousand!” - Dr. Phillip McGraw, “Relationship Rescue” pg. 292
Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
The Secret Sauce – “Convert your anxieties into prayers, add thanksgiving, and then receive Peace!”
