God’s Purpose for Marriage
Navigating A Life of Faith
Discussion questions to help you unpack the message with others.
- Who was a childhood friend growing up? What are some fun things you two did together?
- What stood out to you most from the message?
- Think of a relationship that you value. How would you like to grow closer to that person?
- Describe a time when you felt stuck in a relationship (marriage or otherwise). What was one thing in that relationship that made it difficult to move forward at the time?
- What can make it difficult for you to love others sacrificially?
- Read Romans 5:8. When you think about this love, how does it affect or resonate with you? Where do you still want to experience Jesus’ love?
- Read 1 John 3:16. Who’s someone you can begin to show sacrificial love to someone in your life right now?
Prayer
Let’s end with prayer. You can say something like, “Jesus, thank you for loving us and being the example of what real sacrificial love looks like. Give us the courage to take the next step in our marriage or a friendship to love like you love us. Amen.”

Marriage isn’t easy. There's unbelievable highs, unbearable lows, and everything in between. But what does the bible say about marriage and divorce? In the Book of First John, we learn that while love is vital to living a Godly marriage, there’s actually a lot more to it than that. Tune in to discover what Lead Pastor Kyle Ranson has to share about the Bible and marriage – and how to keep your love burning bright.
