What does the Bible teach about Divorce and Remarriage | 1 Corinthians 7:10-16
There is no such thing as a good divorce. But is there such a thing as a Biblical divorce? And if so, when and under what circumstances would that occur? Pastor Ross ties together what Moses commanded in Deuteronomy 24 regarding divorce, with what Jesus taught about divorce in Matthew 19 with what Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 7.
What does God say about Sex in Marriage | 1 Corinthians 7:1-9
What God creates, the Devil has perverted. This is probably most true when it comes to understanding the role of sex in marriage. The world and the Flesh tells us one thing, which leads to hurt, death, and disappointment. God's truth leads us to finding life, fulfillment, and contentment.
What Every Marriage Needs to Know | 1 Corinthians 7:1-9
Marriage can be a difficult relationship even in the best of times. You have two people trying to live as one, it's a recipe for conflict. Pastor Ross shares from his over 20 years of experience in counselling couples four key foundations that every marriage couple needs to know.
Protect One Another - Ephesians 5:21-33
Rejection is common to each and every person. And its effect is devastating as it deforms our soul and how we see God, ourselves, and others. That's why the unconditional love and acceptance of God is so critical, not just to healing the hurt of rejection - but to everyday life.
Marriage offers a unique opportunity to distribute God's love and acceptance to one another, and therefore offering protection to when shame and the flesh attacks.
Love and Respect - Ephesians 5:21-33
The most important counsel on marriage is summarized in Ephesians 5:33, the husband "is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband." And do it without conditions. But how do you such a thing? And what does that look like?
Pastor Ross teaches this critical dynamic within marriage and gives some ideas of what it will look like.
Authority, Submission, and Headship - Ephesians 5:22-24
Certain words and ideas can elicit very strong reactions. Few can compare to the reaction of hearing words like; authority, submission, and headship. Yet these are ideas and concepts that are designed by God, and therefore are good. We need to separate what God is telling us been poorly taught. The latter leads to misery, but the former leads life.
Pastor Ross explains how Ephesians 5:22-24 describes why God created authority and what that means for a wife and what it means for a husband.
Mutual Submission - Ephesians 5:21-24
There are few words in the Bible that elicit as strong as a reaction than submission, or suitable helper. The reaction is often a result of not understanding what God is intending with those words and the result has strong negative results in our marriages.
Join Pastor Ross as he begins a multi-week study on marriage, beginning with understanding that submission is a mutual response between husband and wife.
