Marriage Matters

Sep 7, 2025    Pastor Jeremy Peters

In this powerful exploration of God's design for marriage, we're challenged to view our relationships through a spiritual lens. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7, we're reminded that marriage is both a gift and a guard from God, designed to protect us and bring us closer to Him. The message emphasizes the covenant nature of marriage, comparing it to God's covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15. This vivid parallel helps us understand the depth of commitment God expects in marriage - it's not just a contract, but a sacred vow. We're encouraged to see our spouses as blessings, to invest in their needs, and to pursue faithfulness even in difficult times. This message is particularly relevant in our current culture, where the sanctity of marriage is often challenged. It calls us to defend our faith and live out God's design for marriage as a testimony to His love and grace.
