Well howdy pastor Mark Driscollar, thank you for letting me help you learn God's Word.

And if you want to learn more, go to markdriscoll.org.

I've got a weekly newsletter answering your questions, daily devotions,

blogs that are Bible teaching in the orientation, and a small mountain of sermons going through

lots of books of the Bible. So join me at markdriscoll.org and we'll help you learn even more of God's Word.

I love you. This is a great church. I wouldn't just come to Springfield, Missouri, maybe for Andes, but...

But every time I've been here I learn something from the staff and the leadership. There's a warmth,

there's a health. So I want to publicly honor pastor John and Debbie, wonderful deer,

godly extraordinary people and you'd wish to have them.

As well as their family and as a dad who's got kids to see kids grow up to love Jesus, love

mom and dad, love the church, and serve Jesus with mom and dad in the church. I can't think of

anything more encouraging as a dad. And so it's a great honor to be with you here today and

yeah pray for our church plan in Scottsdale Arizona. We launch on August 7th and so welcome to my

family and the church family at the Trinity Church. I guess we're all doing church together today.

And pastor John has asked me to talk on the topic of marriage. And so how many of you are

married? Okay? Okay, okay, okay, that's good. Congratulations for praying for your marriages. How

many of you are single? Okay, keep your hand up afterward, afterward, afterward, introduce yourself

to each other and remedy that situation you find yourself in. Okay, as we get into the issue

of marriage today, I want to deal with three marriage myths and three spirit strengths. And before

I do, let me introduce you real briefly to my family. Put a photo up and I'll introduce you to

my family. This is a recent photo. Okay, let me tell you a little bit about our story. I met my wife

Grace at the age of 17 in high school. She still looks the same. I'm aging in dog years.
