8 Sermons Tagged "Marriage"

The old covenant, which was given to the people of Israel in the Old Testament, was never meant to save anyone, so God gave us the new covenant. While the new covenant can be summarized as the good news of salvation in Christ, it is important to note that God has done all of the work for our salvation.

In marriage we see that just as the bride is adorned with beauty, receives a new name, is taken by the hand, is no longer single, and is pure and doted over, so too are we treated in His church (the church of all believers).

Marriage is meant to be a mini-model of Christ's love for His church: He made our dress; earned our ring with his own blood, sweat, and tears; and it is His promise to us, given to us at our baptism, so we are now all one family.

We see our marriages are a mini-model for Christ and His church, we let our emotions be ruled by the fact that God is ruling all of creation for us, and we use this world's temporal things in good stewardship as God has entrusted us.
