  1. 2 Samuel 6:6-12(NKJV) 6And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. 8And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place Perez Uzzah to this day.

  2. 2 Samuel 6:6-12(NKJV) 9David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 10So David would not move the ark of the Lord with him into the City of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 11The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.

  3. 2 Samuel 6:6-12(NKJV) 12Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness.

  4. Christ-Centered Marriage II Samuel 6:6-12

  5. Christ-Centered Marriage • Marriage, one of the oldest institutions, is under attack • Satan is hard at work to convince people that marriage is “evolving” • People have bought into this idea and therefore are not working as hard at their marriages

  6. Christ-Centered Marriage • No one ever said marriage was easy, especially not our Lord • However, with God’s help and guidance, it certainly is easier • The Bible is clear on it’s teachings of faithfulness in marriage (Matt. 19); do we know what it takes to be faithful?

  7. Christ-Centered Marriage • Putting Christ in the center of our marriage is the key to being successful • Notice what God in the home will do for someone (II Sam. 6:6-12) • While the ark rested in the home of Obed-Edom, the Lord blessed him and his household

  8. Christ-Centered Marriage • 1. …will affect your speech • Having Christ as the center of our lives and homes will affect the very way we speak • As a Christian, we know that we are commanded to watch our tongue (Js. 3) • Jesus tells us that what we say ultimately comes from the heart (Matt. 12:34-37; 15:18-20)

  9. Christ-Centered Marriage • 1. …will affect your speech • It’s not just about what we do not say • It’s also about what we do say (Eph. 4:29;I Thess. 5:11) • A soft answer can turn away wrath and keep any argument from escalating (Prov. 15:1)

  10. Christ-Centered Marriage • 1. …will affect your speech • Bottom line is that we cannot call ourselves Christians if we do not control our tongue (Js. 1:26) • If Christ is the center of our home, then it will change the way we speak to one another (Col. 3:1-10)

  11. Christ-Centered Marriage • 2. …will affect your mind (attitude) • There are many marriages that are affected by the mindset or attitude of one or both people • Being a child of God and putting Christ at the center of my home means that my mindset will be different (Rom. 12:2)

  12. Christ-Centered Marriage • 2. …will affect your mind (attitude) • Paul said that we bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (II Cor. 10:5) • Paul urged us to have the mind of Christ, which entails putting others before ourselves, being a servant, and being humble (Phil. 2:1-8)

  13. Christ-Centered Marriage • 3. …will affect your actions • The very way that we act in our homes will be affected when we put Christ there • Jesus called us to be salt and light, and that includes inside the home (Matt. 5:13-16) • Paul said that a relationship with Christ demands different actions (Col. 3:1-10, 12-17)

  14. Christ-Centered Marriage • 3. …will affect your actions • Following the GoldenRule is a good place to start (Matt. 7:12) • Peter talks about our actions towards one another in I Peter 3:1-7 • Our conduct can go a long way in how our marriage will turn out

  15. Christ-Centered Marriage • 4. …will affect your reactions • We often times work on our actions, but do we stop to think about our reactions? • Again, Proverbs15:1 is one of those verses that speaks to the importance of reactions • Anger is a common reaction, but the Bible warns against it

  16. Christ-Centered Marriage • 4. …will affect your reactions • Ephesians 4:26-27 • We must have control of our reactions in our marriages • “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Eph. 4:32)

  17. Christ-Centered Marriage • 5. …will affect your love • Love, as the world sees it, is just a feeling that comes and goes • However, the Bible defines love as something different • Love is defined as permanent and not temporary (I Cor. 13:4-8)

  18. Christ-Centered Marriage • 5. …will affect your love • When Christ is in the home, the love is quite different • Love is the central part of the greatest commands (Matt. 22:39) • The love we are to have is to emulate that of Christ’s love for the church (Eph. 5:25)
