Day 16 - a busy day

Ephesians 5:29-33

"No one abuses his own body, does he?  No, he feeds

and pampers it.  That's how Christ treats us, the church, 

since we are part of His body.  And this is why a man leaves

father and mother and cherishes his wife.  No longer two,

they become "one flesh".  This is a huge mystery, and I don't

pretend to understand it all.  What is clearest to me is the

way Christ treats the church.  And this provides a good 

picture of how each husband is to treat his wife, loving himself

in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband."

Many of us got to be a part of Derek and Ashley's wedding day.

It was a great ceremony and a great day for us to share together.

I am so proud of them and for what God is doing in their lives.

For those that don't know - Derek and Ashley are a part of our

worship ministries at Antioch.  Derek just got back from Hillsong

College in Sydney, Australia.  He is one of our singer/songwriters

at Antioch and Ashley plays keys.

I was amazed at so many from our team, as well as those from 

Antioch Church, that were involved in this day and then came back

for our Saturday night service to lead in worship.  

This was a "full day".....but what a way to spend the day - 

marriage and church.......the 2 institutions that God 

created and ordained.  We all got to share in

that.  I am in awe of how God compares them.

We love you - Derek and Ashley.  Thanks for sharing your day

with us and reminding us that God is an amazing God!
