BIG IDEA: God purposefully designed marriage as a lifetime, one-flesh, covenantal relationship between one man and one woman, which is complete in the husband-wife relationship and should be the priority relationship in a family. THREE PRINCIPLES: • Marriage, between one man and one woman, for life, is a God-designed arrangement (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:18-22; Matthew 19:4-6).…

Same God

The doctrine of omnipresence means that God is everywhere. God is always at work around you (John 5:17), but sometimes it’s hard to see the LORD working among a hostile world of sin, secularism, pagan gods, and humanistic worldviews. How is God active in the world in which you live at your job, in your neighborhood, and in your family? How do we live in this fallen world, and recognize that the Lord has worked and continues to work in…
