Ephesians: Grace - The Gospel and Marriage

OUTLINE:

• Covenant (Ephesians 5:31)
• Creates (Ephesians 22-30)
• Core (Ephesians 5:18; 21-22)
• Comfort (Ephesians 5:32-33)

QUESTIONS:

1. What stood out to you most from this week's sermon in Ephesians 5:1-21?
2. (Ephesians 5:31) Covenant or Chemistry? Is your idea of marriage more about chemistry and feeling love, or Covenant and faithfully loving another?  
3. (Ephesians 5:22-30) How does marriage clean us and shape our character?  How does marriage connect us in our gender differences in order to clearly show the Gospel?
4. (Ephesians 5:32-33) Marriage is actually a picture of the true love that awaits us at the end of time. How does this free us from demanding that our spouses fulfill and complete us? How does the imperfection of marriage help us long for the perfection that awaits us in Jesus?
