In the United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14. This day is a celebration of love and reflection. Just before Valentine's Day, we would like to talk about marriage and relationships. How do we show love and affection to our spouses? Or to family and friends? And how is pop culture invading our own relationships and how we relate to each other? In this newest episode of ANN In-Depth, we are joined by Willie and Elaine Oliver for some practical advice on this topic. February 13-20 is Christian Home and Marriage Week. This week embraces two Sabbaths: Christian Marriage Day that emphasizes Christian marriage and Christian Hope Day that emphasizes parenting. You can find resources to promote this special week at https://family.adventist.org/resources/2021sd/ This week we are joined by Willie and Elaine Oliver. The Olivers are the Directors of the Family Ministries Department for the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Willie Oliver is an ordained minister, pastoral counselor, family sociologist, and certified family life educator.

‘Love Never Fails’ – Special Message from Pastor Wilson & Nancy Wilson
We read in 1 Corinthians verse 13 that love never fails! In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson is joined by Nancy Wilson as they talk about marriage and seeking out God’s love in our lives. In the book of Genesis, chapter 1, we are given an overview of the beautiful Creation account—how God created the Earth, and everything in it, in six literal days—and everything “was good.” But then, midway into chapter 2, which gives us more of the Creation backstory, we read that something was “not good!” Verse 18 tells us: “And the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” When God brought Eve to Adam, it was love at first sight! God then performed the very first marriage ceremony, blessing the man and woman, uniting them together that the two might become one. God intended marriage to be an unending source of joy and love, of companionship and growth. But sadly, sin entered this world, and rather than being a source of happiness, marriage has too often become a source of sorrow for so many people. Nevertheless, there is hope! This wonderful gift God gave to us in Eden can still be enjoyed today through His blessing. “The presence of Christ alone can make men and women happy,” we read in the wonderful book, The Adventist Home. “All the common waters of life Christ can turn into the wine of heaven. The home then becomes as an Eden of bliss; the family, a beautiful symbol of the family in heaven” (p. 28). This coming Sabbath, February 13, begins the “Christian Home and Marriage Week.” Organized by the Family Ministries department of the General Conference, this special week embraces two Sabbaths—Christian Marriage Day on February 13, and Christian Home Day on February 20. Visit family.adventist.org for resources. The Bible tells us in 1 John 4:7,8: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” And in 1 Corinthians 13:4 we read—“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” May the Lord bless and strengthen you as we each, through His power, seek to live out His love in our lives. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csEDg3HkAWA
When You Are Feeling Disappointed, Try This…
Probably one of the most extensive accounts of someone’s life in the Bible, the story of David is a brilliant example of the different ways we can be called to put God first. Acts of humility, of bravery, and of recognizing God as his protection would allow David to serve fully as a king throughout his adult life, though anointed from a young age. We can look to David’s life for object lessons in putting God first. #GodFirst

Pastor Mark Finley. Hope for Troubled Time – Faith. Episode 3
Researchers have placed top priority on developing a vaccine as quickly as possible. People are so afraid of this deadly rapidly spreading virus, that they are anxious to get a vaccine that will prevent them from contracting Covid-19. Although this present pandemic has caused thousands of deaths around the world there is another virus that has infected humanity that is even more deadly. Covid-19 can destroy your body but this fatal disease can take more than your physical life. “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” Matthew 10:28 The virus of sin is much more deadly than the virus of Covid-19. Once infected with the virus of sin the prognosis is death. How did this pandemic begin and what is the ultimate solution to a sin problem? Based on the Biblical Story of the Fall and God's promises of hope and new life in heaven, pastor Mark Finley talks about God's endless love and unshakable hope. #HopeForTroubledTime
