Let's get practical understanding how we change and how the gospel starts to shape our lives!

"Without knowledge of self, there is no knowledge of God."  - John Calvin

How do we see ourselves within the greater story of God's divine plan to love His people?

If the Bible has such a high view of marriage, how can it also have a high view of singleness?  Because neither is meant to be the end goal, and both can be unique and beautiful ways to see the sufficiency of Jesus.

Relationships work best when we use them for the purpose with which they were intended.  Which means dating will always be the most helpful and enjoyable when it is the most free.  

If we don't understand the divine beauty of marriage, we will never see the glorious vision the bible paints of sex and sexuality, as well as the redemptive plan that Jesus offers for our sexual shame.

The biblical picture of marriage as a divine drama gives us a lasting, fulfilling vision for marriage that supersedes anything else we could imagine.

The Bible shows why friendship is so important, what good friendship is rooted in, and the mystery of Jesus calling us friends.

If relationships, according to the Bible, are so good, why are they the cause of so much pain and hardship?  

Relating to others can provide the highest highs and the lowest lows of our human experience.  How does the Bible give us the grid to make sense of relationships from a foundational level, and how does it ultimately point to God's love for us?

Romans 8 ends with the most comforting question that could be asked:  "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
