EP#41: God’s Ideal Purpose for Marriage

Pastors Todd and Christian and fellow scholar Spencer launch this inaugural podcast on our current teaching through the Sermon on the Mount.  This is the first podcast in a mini-series on marriage, divorce and remarriage, using Jesus’ teaching as recorded in Matthew.  This episode focuses on the ideal marriage as God established in Genesis 2, and that Jesus refers to in Matthew 19.  Within the marriage covenant the couple, male and female, have the privilege of displaying to the world particular aspects of God’s character, namely the oneness of God, the Father and Son relationship between God and Jesus, and lastly the nature of the relationship between Christ and His Church.  Though none of us do this perfectly in our marriages, you will be greatly encouraged by this discussion and will find hope knowing that God has not changed His mission for marriage, even in the difficult cultural shifts we are experiencing. God’s desire and purposes for marriage will always be timeless and relevant!
