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.

‘Not So With You’ (Submission/Sacrifice)
Key Passage 1: Ephesians 5:22-23, 25 NIV
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
Key Passage 2: Mark 10:43-45 NIV
43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
