Sunday Sermon - Single & Married

An extended Sunday Sermon edition of Wilderness Wanderings!  The texts come from Matthew 5:27-32, from the New International Version of the Bible.  Dive In discussion questions are below for further reflection!  To see this sermon in the context of the worship service it comes from, find it here on YouTube.  Or, head to our website to connect with the worshiping community of Immanuel CRC: immanuelministries.ca   DIVE IN QUESTIONS 1. What stands out to you from hearing these verses?  Is God offering an invitation or a challenge to you through those words?  Take time to pray about it. 2. What is the Garden of Eden picture that a husband and wife using the good God-given gifts of physical and emotional intimacy leads to?  What is the Garden of Eden picture of this not going well?  3. What kind of looks and lusts does Jesus command against?  What does keeping this command mean for married people?  Single people?  What might (or does) make it difficult to keep this command?  What is at the heart of this command? 4. What help does Jesus give to empower us to live within his command?  How might we get there? 5. Lift up whatever challenges you might face in relationship to this command to Jesus and consider other supports and people in your life that might help you do this work of dying and rising in Christ.
