“Relationships” (Part 2)
This morning we are going to mainly focus on two sections of Scripture that speak about a theology of marriage: Genesis 2-3 and Ephesians 5. In marriage we leave and cleave (Gen. 2:24). God joins a couple together like glue, and Jesus comments on this verse by telling us to not separate what God has joined (Mark 10:9). If that is to be the case, and marriage is to be highly treasured, then it needs to follow the instructions Paul gives in Ephesians 5. Marriage must look like Jesus: strong incarnate/self-emptying love (which looks like submissiveness and yieldedness), and cross-shaped love (which looks like self-sacrifice and service). Join us!
