“Sealed And Solid” – Sunday October 6

October 3, 2013 by Pastor David Rathel

Wow, I can’t believe its already the last week of our New Velcro Marriage Message Series! There have been so many good Sunday memories already made, date challenges completed, and new friends made part of the RiverTown family. Here’s last week’s message from my YouTube channel. The baby pool of shame was a real hit, you’ve got to see it!

I want to make you a promise about this Sunday! We have been dealing with some pretty heavy topics the first three weeks of this series.

This Sunday for my message called Sealed And Solid you are going to laugh the hardest and have the MOST FUN YOU’VE EVER HAD IN CHURCH!

That’s a big promise, but I can’t wait to see how much we can all laugh together! Sometimes laughter IS the best medicine! [space]

Here’s a taste of what’s to come this Sunday: Video By “Vinnie ‘Stick It To Me’ Velcrocinni (AKA – Bud Bentfeld)

One More Preview:

“The Laws of Male and Female Relationships”

The LAWS for Women:
1. The Female is never wrong.
2. If the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant Misunderstanding, which was a direct result of something the Male did or said wrong.
3. The Female can change her mind at any given point in time.
4. The Male must never change his mind without express written consent from the Female.
5. The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.
6. The Male must remain calm at all times, unless the Female wants him to be angry or upset.
7. Any attempt to document these Rules could result in bodily harm to the Male.
[space]
The LAWS for Men:

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, just put it down.
2. Crying is blackmail.
3. Yes or No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
4. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do.
5. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
6. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
7. If it itches, it will be scratched. That’s what we do.

All jokes aside, this week in SEALED AND SOLID you’ll get a close up look at what it takes to have a real COVENANT MARRIAGE. The truth is that a lot of people who have been married never really entered into a Biblical and Spiritual Covenant with each other. We’re going to dive into this divine TRUTH with plenty of GRACE for everybody! Come and See for yourself!

About Pastor David Rathel

My wife, Melanie, and I moved back to Columbus with our two week old little girl, Hannah, after finishing Graduate School in Fort Worth, Texas in 2001. RiverTown Church was born in a movie theater on September 9th that same year with a vision to be “a church for people who don’t go to church” here in our hometown. God has blessed us since then with a great location on Schomburg Rd. near my old neighborhood and High School. New people are coming to RiverTown all the time and discovering that God can “transform their lives into the likeness of Jesus Christ” through a church family where you can Believe, Belong, and Become!

From our first prayer meetings in a living room in nearby Phenix City, to our preview services and grand opening the Hollywood Connection movie theater, and finally to our current property and buildings on Schomburg Rd. God has led us all the way.

My wife and I both grew up here, so we know the people and love it here. Melanie keeps me going! We’ve been through all the good, the bad, and the ugly of life and have found that everything is sweeter together. You’ll never find us at a church event on a Friday night. We’ve had date night on Fridays since my first day as a Pastor. We met while working together in a Franklin Graham evangelistic crusade here in Columbus in 1996. Our second child is named Graham for that very reason! Our first child, Hannah, was born in Forth Worth just before we finished Seminary in 2001. Two weeks after she was born in Fort Worth, we were on the road back to Columbus to knock on doors and start RiverTown. She and the church will always be the same age!

On this blog, you'll be the first to know what God is teaching me and teaching through me to our church family. We'll laugh together and sometimes cry together. Most of all, you'll be challenged to take your next step in following Jesus Christ.
