SERMON NOTES:  

Beginning Well – Is there a secret?

“… the divorce rate in America is at a minimum one out of two marriages.  But the reported divorce rate among couples that pray together is about one in ten thousand!”     -     Dr. Phillip McGraw, “Relationship Rescue” pg. 292

Philippians 4:4-7
 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
 

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,

 by prayer and petition,

with thanksgiving,

present your requests to God. 
 

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, 

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The Secret Sauce – “Convert your anxieties into prayers, add thanksgiving, and then receive Peace!”
