REWRITING LOVE | How Marriage and Singleness Can Tell the Story of the Gospel
Love isn’t always a great story. Chances are, you’ve felt when your marriage was working and when it wasn’t, when your single life was awesome and when it wasn’t, when your relationship was in a great place and when it wasn’t. The incredible reality of the Good News of Jesus is that it rewrites the story of every human relationship. It turns marriages into lighthouses of hope, singleness into a living testimony of God’s power, and our most important relationships into something supernatural. Join us this Sunday as we look at what happens when we let God rewrite love.

‘The Shape Of The Gospel’
Key Passage 1: Ephesians 5:31-32 NIV
31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
Key Passage 2: Genesis 2:22-25 NIV
22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[a] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
