  1. Holy Scriptures

  2. The Sufficiency & Authority of the Holy Scriptures • 2 Timothy 3:14-17But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

  3. God’s Multi-Purpose Tool 1. Salvation For Us (2 Timothy 3:15) 2. Sanctification In Us (2 Timothy 3:16) 3. Service Through Us (2 Timothy 3:17)

  4. God’s Purpose for Humanity

  5. God’s Purpose for Humanity • Matthew 22:34-40Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

  6. Love: Good to Great • Doing good works without great love prevents our good from becoming great to God. • Doing good works with great love causes our good to become great to God. 3. Pagan, Pharisee, or Christian?

  7. Marriage & the Family

  8. Marriage & the Family • Genesis 1:26-27Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

  9. Genesis 2:18-25The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. • But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 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.” For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

  10. Marriage: A Reflection of God • God Designed Marriage to Reflect the Trinity. • Marital Intimacy Reflects the Trinity. 3. Marital Service Reflects the Trinity. 4. Marital Mutuality Reflects the Trinity.

  11. Personal Choice

  12. Marriage & the Family • Romans 5:12-21Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned-- for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. • Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

  13. Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. • Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

  14. Personal Choice: Destruction or Restoration • The destructive power of sin that leads to death entered through one man and corrupted us all. • The restorative power of grace that leads to life comes through one man and is offered to all. • Choose the restorative grace of Christ that leads to life.
