Originally Delivered: August 31, 2008
Message Length: 26 min.
Abstract -

Pastor Don starts today's message on commitment with stories of some of the more humorous weddings he has presided over.  But in all cases the wedding is over in one day, and then the marriage starts.  Without exception a marriage is a great example of how commitment involves change.  Jesus is a great example of how we should be in our change.  And, we can look to His Word to help us grow in wisdom and commitment.
