Something Better Than Marriage

Description

This sermon wrestles with a tender question from Luke 20: will we still be with our spouses in heaven? Jesus’ answer points beyond marriage to something even greater. Marriage is a good gift for this age, given for mutual joy and comfort in a world of sorrow. In the age to come, every need that marriage meets is fulfilled perfectly in the risen Jesus.


We are first and foremost children of the resurrection. All good things find their proper place under Christ, who is our ultimate good and our lasting joy. Come be encouraged to love your spouse, your family, and your calling with gratitude, while centering your life on Jesus who is all in all.
