Roles of Influence: Marriage

Rev. James Harper preaches on Marriage as part of the "Roles of Influence" sermon series, using Scripture from Genesis 2:18-25.    Marriage was designed by God with specific purposes: to provide a stable foundation for family, to foster human flourishing through deep companionship, and to illustrate Christ's love for His people. Despite these beautiful intentions, marriage faces challenges due to sin's impact and the myth of perfect compatibility. However, when approached with commitment and selflessness, marriage helps us see ourselves more clearly, teaches us to love our neighbors better, and offers hope to a cynical world. Through healthy marriages that reflect Christ-like love, we can demonstrate God's design in a broken world.
