Redemptive Relationships: Marriage
Though focused on marriage, this message speaks to everyone, inviting us all to pray for and support the relationships in our lives. Drawing from Ezekiel and the New Testament, we see marriage as a picture of Christ’s self-giving love, a place where grace teaches us how to love and be loved, and a relationship God intends to redeem and fill with joy. Even imperfect and wounded marriages can be transformed as Christ restores hearts and renews love.
Ezekiel 16:4-14, Hosea; Ephesians 5:25-32, Proverbs 19:11
We’re overjoyed that so many are joining us for our services, and we’re praying that you continue to find fulfillment in your time with us!
