Message – Rich Saxton
“Love’s Divine Design”
“As we reflect today on Love’s Divine Design, we do so as people seasoned by time. Some of you know marriage as a lifelong dance of grace, filled with laughter, heartbreak, and healing. Others know marriage through memories: the scent of old letters, rings worn smooth, photographs fading in frames. Whether you’ve walked beside your beloved for 50 years, grieved the loss of a spouse, or lived faithfully in singleness, this message is meant to affirm your journey and remind you that your love story reflects God’s own – sacrificial, covenantal, and eternal. God’s design for love is not confined to age or season. It’s eternal, just like the Author of Love Himself.”
