Preacher: Jeremy Herbert

Text: Ephesians 5, Genesis 1

Theme: Why We Must Have A Biblical View of Family

Notes:

The Church must be:

* Clear

* Compelling

* Compassionate

on the issues of sexuality and gender

 

God created the world with purpose, harmony, and order.

God uniquely made mankind in His image.

God’s commands for His creation provide basis for humans to flourish.

 

Why Did God Create Marriage?

* Sanctification–God uses the spouses to help one another become more holy

* Illustration–God uses the members of the marriage to picture God and the gospel

* Procreation–not just producing physical children to fulfil the cultural mandate given in Genesis

 

Why not just ‘let the world be the world’?

We are called to be salt & light–neither of which are inert,

and neither of which have a null impact  where they reach.
