5. Sermon: The Meaning of Marriage

Pastor - "Marriage is a picture of God's desire to unite in fellowship with mankind, just as the bridegroom Yeshua, our Messiah, longs to be with His bride, which is His great city Jerusalem and His 'Called Out Ones'. Since He has appointed marriage between a man and a woman to testify of His own predestined plan, it is holy, even as He is holy. Because of this the bride is to be prepared with purity, having eyes only to please her groom. Likewise the groom comes to the bride sacrificing His own life for her, and forsaking all others in order to love her only. Marriage is accomplished by three unions, that of the bodies coming together; that of the souls settling on one goal --to please God; and that of the spirits performing one act --to worship and serve the Creator. Only when all of these parts are confirmed is a marriage truly formed in the image of God, and only then is it as He planned and blessed it. With this knowledge, as called out children of Israel, _______and ______come now to be wedded as one before the Almighty Holy One, Blessed is He in the Name of YESHUA."

6. The Seven Walks

a. Pastor - "The scripture says in Jeremiah 31:22 'For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, a woman shall surround a man.' "
b. Bride comes and begins to walk around the groom.
c. Pastor - "Blessed is she who has come. May the Holy One, He who understands the love of a bride, may He bless the groom and the bride. As the bride walks around the groom seven times, she symbolizes the seven matriarchs of our faith: Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Tamar, Ruth, and Esther. They remind us that the road to redemption is a long and hard one. Yet, wonderfully beautiful and fulfilling. This walk also makes a circle like a crown around the groom, demonstrating that he is a king to her and she is his queen. Lastly, the walk testifies of her role to him as a hedge of protection around him from the allure of all others. He can only see her from now on."

7. Blessing of Consecration

Pastor - "Baruch ata Adonai Eloheynu Melekh Ha'olam kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'itzivanu... Blessed are You LORD our God, King of the universe, who has made us holy by Your commandments and commanded us regarding forbidden unions, who forbade betrothed women to us, and permitted for us to be married to women under the Chupah covering in consecration to You."
