God's Vision For Marriage
Description
Guest speaker, Adam West, looked at God's vision for marriage found in 1 Corinthians 7:1-16, as we continued our series, "A Church Worth Becoming". Paul addresses the Corinthians' confusion about marriage, intimacy, and relationships in a sexually immoral culture. Physical intimacy within marriage is God's gift, not something shameful, and requires mutual care between spouses. Both marriage and singleness are valuable gifts from God, with neither being superior. Jesus taught that marriage should be permanent, reflecting Christ's relationship with the church. In mixed marriages where one spouse is an unbeliever, the Christian should remain committed and be a light to their family. Sin pollutes God's good gifts, and isolation from other believers makes us vulnerable to temptation.
