"Families that Flourish" (4)
Deuteronomy 6:1-9

Love & Marriage: Doing Family Life God's Way
If you have your Bible, please turn to Deuteronomy chapter 6, that great chapter in the Scriptures as Moses gives his last three sermons to the people before they went into the Promised Land and before Moses went on to glory.
Well, we've been in a series for the last several weeks called "Love and Marriage." And we've talked about various things in this series.
