Marriage
The First Marriage (Genesis 3:16-20)
January 6, 2019 • Andy Falleur
- This is the first in a series on Marriage. Here we look at our “parents” marriage, the very first one, and the conditions that marriage exists in. From there, we can ask some questions about our immediate parents’ marriage. Our parents shape not just our norms about marriage, but human beings, and more importantly our expectations about God. Keywords: Marriage, Pain, Struggle, Design, Empathy
Marriage - Ephesians 5:22-24
January 20, 2019 • Andy Falleur
In our third study on the topic of marriage, we turn the page from looking at marriage as a whole, to the question of how to stay married. And, we start, where the New Testament starts, which is with wives. It’s important to get the Biblical understanding of submission, as it is not solely in the realm of marriage. Keywords: Submit, Unjust Suffering, Communication, Marriage
Kept (Hebrews 13:4)

In the fifth and final study in our series on marriage, we turn our attention to the sexual component of marriage. Because our views of sex have mostly been shaped by our culture, it's important for us, no matter if we are unmarried or married to take a fresh look at the timeless truths given to us in the Scriptures.
Husbands (Ephesians 5:25-33)

In our fourth study in this series, we turn our attention to husbands. First, we need a definition of husband, then there’s several things we can observe about husbands, and ultimately about Christ and His relationship to us from this passage.
Marriage - 1 Corinthians 7
January 13, 2019 • Andy Falleur
- In our second study in this series on Marriage, we turn the page to the New Testament and look at Paul’s “opinion” on marriage in 1 Corinthians 7. He makes some statements that were provocative both then and today, and they deserve a closer look. It’s interesting to see what he says is “good.” Jesus truly did change everything.
