PRAYER
SERMON
Marriage is ancient promise between two people and God
Many people don’t realize its design is to paint a beautiful picture
Many hear "submit” and think of oppression and treating women like objects
That is a misuse of God’s design
It’s important to know that it says, “as to the Lord.”
This is because marriage between a man and a woman represents the bond between Christ and His Church
We should ask a question, “How does the church love the Lord?”
SACRAFICIALLY
LOVINGLY
RESPECTFULLY
OBEDIENTLY
That’s a tall order, but when two people truly love each other, it’s not dangerous
We should also realize, Paul doesn’t stop there
Ephesians 5:25: Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
We should then ask, “How does Christ love the church?”
SACRAFICIALLY
PURELY
PASSIONATELY
EVEN TO THE POINT OF DEATH
Being ordered to love like Christ is actually the much more challenging position
Marriage is not about mistreatment, ownership or selfishness
It’s about sacrifice, putting the other person’s needs above your own, and displaying God’s love to the world
This idea of marriage, is one of the earliest God created
Beginning – God creates
LIGHT
HEAVENS
EARTH
PLANTS
THE STARS
SUN AND MOON
SEA CREATURES AND BIRDS

MAN
Scripture says it was VERY GOOD
Then suddenly, the words NOT GOOD appear for the first time
You might think of serpent tempting Eve, but its something else
Genesis 2:18: Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
First thing that was “not good” was man being alone
Anyone who’s seen a bachelor’s apartment knows it’s not good for men to be alone
God quickly repairs by making Eve – a helper
Adam spent his whole life until this point hanging out with animals
Now he sees a woman for the first time
And he is excited!
Yes, at last! Great work God this is quite the upgrade!
He doesn’t say, “It’s about time, now go make me a sandwich!...
No, he values her, treasures her, find relief in her
Sometimes in our culture, we see “helper” as a bad thing – it’s not!
Hebrews 13:6: So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
1 John 2:1: But if anyone does sin, we have a helper in the presence of the Father—Jesus Christ, the One who does what is right.
John 14:26: But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Notice how each of those passages refers to either the Father, Son or HS:
They are all called “helpers,” just like the word used for a wife
CARLY, your role is to emulate God in how you love KAMIL
Just as it is KAMIL’s role to love you as Christ loves the Church
Christ made a covenant with us – we accept His gift of sacrifice and love, becoming obedient and sacrificial ourselves, and we will be with Him for eternity
That promise has always been God’s plan
From the beginning, God created a foreshadowing of this promise in marriage
God used the joining of man and woman to represent Christ and church – the body of believers that He died for
So, as KAMIL and CARLY stand here today, we are witnesses to their covenant
As witnesses, we are called here today to hold these two accountable
We must stand by them when they are challenged
Going back to the original marriage (Adam and Eve)
You’ll notice the next part of the story – the serpent does arrive
I don’t believe this is a coincidence
The enemy sees something wonderful, and want to destroy it
KAMIL and CARLY, I do give you a warning – Satan is not happy with you today!
Satan sees your promise to each other as a threat to his realm
It would be wise to expect attack
Marriage is not easy – it is wonderful, but not easy
I encourage you to seek God diligently always
And He will protect from the enemy
Today begins an adventure for you both
Your partner will have the privilege of seeing you at your worst
You will likewise see them at theirs
You will each make mistakes, you will hurt each other, you will find yourselves irritated by things that are unimportant
Even the things you used to find charming...
You know what’s great about that?
That is your opportunity to love like Christ...
To show love when it is undeserved, to show kindness when it’s easier to be cruel, to sacrifice yourself when you’d rather smother them with a pillow - - that is CHRIST
It is Christ because it is expression of your love for each other
AND a love for God!
Because just like our relationship with Christ, a marriage only works if it is based on:
PATIENCE
SACRIFICE
OBEDIENCE
INVESTING IN EACH OTHER
AND OF COURSE, LOVE
1 Corinthians 13:4-8: Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
