Why We Marry

Sermon Notes

Welcome! Today, we begin our HOME series, focusing on building strong, God-centered marriages through Holiness, Oneness, and Missional Engagement (H.O.M.E.). Over the next nine weeks in our community groups and the next three weeks on Sundays, we’ll learn what the Bible teaches about marriage, including the importance of letting go of old priorities, committing fully to our spouses, and creating a life of unity and purpose. This series is for everyone, offering lessons about relationships that can help, whether you're married or not.

Marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and the Church, showing love, grace, and teamwork. Our goal is not just to avoid problems but to grow together in faith and commitment. As a church, let’s work together to deepen our relationships and reflect God’s love in our marriages. Through prayer, study, and action, we can strengthen our bonds and grow closer to God and each other. Join us on this journey to discover God’s plan for marriage.

Key Points

God has designed out marriage to be built by:
