THE GOSPEL MARRIAGE: "The Covenant Promise" -Romans 8:35-39

Speaker: Peter Cho

​We all struggle with insecurities because we are all in search of a true love that will make us feel secure, accepted and whole. Through the covenant of marriage God is expressing his unconditional love to the world and inviting us all into an inseparable union with Jesus that is secured by an unbreakable promise received by faith.

​SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Watch clip of Disney Pixar’s “Up”. What are some things we can learn about vows and promises from this clip?
2. Read Romans 8:35-39. When you think about the ways that the 'new covenant' of Jesus is greater than typical marriage vows what speaks to you from these words? 
3. Of the 3 points presented above (1. God's covenantal love shows us that his love is unconditional 2. God's covenantal love is received by faith and proven by faithfulness 3. God's covenantal love results in the formation of a spiritual union where 'two become one') which resonates with you the most? Which do you find most challenging to understand or embrace? 
4. How might remembering and reflecting upon God's covenant with us, help us to honor ours with our spouse (or the way we relate to others)?
