When it comes to dating, relationships, and marriage, it can feel that we are often left with more questions than answers. Why do we marry? Who should I marry? How do I know when they are “the one?” How do we date? When do we break-up? How can I be content in singleness? As Christians, it is vital that we trust in Scripture as the lamp to our feet and the light to our path, listening to God and his Word rather than to what the culture and the world around us has to say about relationships. In this Series, we will answer what, why, how, and who to date as followers of Jesus in our culture and context.
In this message, Brent Cummings, our Young Adults Pastor, kicks off our series by showing us what the end goal of dating is. Before we date, we must understand that marriage is the ultimate goal. Moreover, we must know why it is that marriage is God’s beautiful design. It is not just enough to have marriage in mind as the goal, but a marriage that is informed by God’s Word and shaped by God’s love. In Scripture we see that marriage is a promise, a pursuit, and a picture; and in this message Brent walks us through those three aspects of marriage to see how God’s love for us informs us of what marriage is and why it is the end goal of a dating relationship.
