GENESIS 2:18-25 Marriage and the maker\u2019s instructions: The pattern of marriage

Matthew 19:3-9

A) Marriage is heterosexual

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 \u2018Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practise homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.\u2019

Rachel Gilson \u2018Born Again This Way?\u2019, Sam Allberry \u2018Is God Anti-Gay?\u2019

B) Marriage is public

C) Marriage is permanent

D) Marriage is physical

1 Corinthians 6:16 \u2018Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For as it is written \u2018The two will become one flesh.\u2019

For further discussion and prayer\nHow is God\u2019s pattern for marriage different from what we see in our society?\nIf you\u2019re married be honest- what are the implications of this sermon for you?\nIf you\u2019re not married- how does this sermon encourage you personally? And how might it help you encourage married people at church?
