3. Basic Truths Concerning Marriage (Ephesians 5:21-33)
Many people desire to be married. But what is a healthy marriage? What is the Bible's blueprint for this most intimate of all human relationships? In this message, David Shohradov, a member of Thrive Harbor, speaks on marriage out of Ephesians 5.
Thrive is joined by two married couples, who share their stories, insights, and wisdom on what a healthy, Christ-centered marriage looks like. A special thanks to our panelists: Kurt & Revell Mach and Tim & Sarah Gauthier.
1. Singleness (1 Corinthians 7:1-2, 25-38)
It's hard to talk about singleness well in Christian circles. How can the church elevate singleness the way the Bible does, without idolizing singleness the way our culture does? In this talk, Michael Bouterse, director of Thrive Harbor, looks to Jesus and Paul—both of whom were single—to explore what it looks like for a Christian to live fully devoted to God as a single person.
Scripture passages cited in this message include 1 Corinthians 7:1-2, 25-38; Colossians 1:15; 2:9; and Genesis 30:23.
