Ephesians 5:33

April 21, 2013 • Pastor Steve McGuyre

Marriages that are the happiest and most God honoring are marriages where people are nice to each other. When true kindness is exercised in marriage and in life, we see Christ. Pastor Steve gives us a number of practical ways to apply that out in our marriages and other relationships.

1 - Marriage: An Introduction

February 10, 2013 • Pastor Patrick Bowler

"The reason that marriage is so painful and yet wonderful is because it is a reflection of the gospel, which is painful and wonderful at once. The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope. This is the only kind of relationship that will really transform us... Through the gospel, we get both the power and the pattern for the journey of marriage." Tim Keller in "The Meaning of Marriage."

2 - A Covenant Relationship

February 17, 2013 • Pastor Patrick Bowler

The very heart of the biblical view of marriage is covenant and it ultimately exists to serve and safeguard the other. Marriage is for God's glory and was intended to display the covenant between Christ and the church.
