Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi, this is Pastor Ken thanks for joining me once again for the Monday Marriage Message where we search God’s instructions to experience a highly successful marriage.

Scripture tells us that the most important compatibility marker to consider is that we are equally yoked, meaning that Christians ought to only ask God to...

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi, this is Pastor Ken thanks for joining me once again for the Monday Marriage Message where we search God’s instructions to experience a highly successful marriage. This year I have chosen to offer my Monday Marriage Message podcast in a series format. We have thus far completed a series on Ephesians 5:21-33, and have just completed a series on Marriage and divorce. Though each of these have been expository teaching systematically working through various passages of scripture, my next series is going to follow more of an episodic nature. I am entitling the series 7 Biblical Principles for a...

Marital Conflicts - Session Five

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi this is Pastor Ken, welcome to the Monday Marriage Message…Marital Conflicts – Session Five Continuing with our series of marital conflicts between worldly wisdom and Word-ly wisdom, found in the Bible, today I want to speak about the potential of our marriages. Worldly wisdom or common sense dictates that its participants determine the potential of any marriage. How far that marriage will go, how long it will last, what it will look like and what it will leave as a legacy is all up to the two people who have entered into it. This understanding hinges on the premise...

Additionally, if you have...


Planting Hedges Around Your Marriage

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi this is pastor Ken and this is my Monday Marriage Message…Planting Hedges Around Your Marriage When I was a young boy I lived in a small village in Eastern Pennsylvania just south of the city of Scranton. In that town I don’t ever recall seeing a privacy fence. I am certain they are now a regular fixture of the landscape, but back in the 70’s when I lived there, all people had delineating their yard from the next were hedges. Thick rows of tightly planted boxwood shrubs that were maintained in straight rows on the North, South, East and...

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

We continue today with our look into the scripturally given Order and Structure of a God Shaped Marriage. Last time when introducing the topic of this new series I presented the idea that every successful endeavor necessarily includes both structure and order.

The Key to a Great Marriage

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

The Key to a Great Marriage As a marriage counselor it is my privilege to help people realize the marriage they desire and that God intends for them to have.

THE SPIRITUAL VITAL SIGNS OF A CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE - Book Promotion

Rev Jimmie Hicks, Jr.

The Spiritual Vital Signs of a Christian Marriage equips you to take a pulse of your marriage in order to ensure it doesn’t fail. Marriage is a pillar of society, and it is also the relationship God uses to display His nature, His design, and His love for humanity. Yet, too often, we fall into what we believe is “love” and then wrongly think seedling love will be able to carry us through a life-long commitment. As our marital relationship continues, we forget to routinely check its spiritual vital signs—which in turn leads to a broken, dysfunctional, or failed marriage....


God Hates Divorce...But He Loves Divorcee's

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi, this is pastor Ken and this is my Monday Marriage Message. God Hates Divorce…But He Loves Divorcees If I heard my mom say it once, I heard her say it a thousand times, “Ken, you can go to hell for lying just like you can for cheating”. What was mom saying? She was telling me what God’s word tells all of us, one sin is no worse than another because any sin means we have missed the mark. Romans 3:23 says it clearly; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Mom was right. All...
