Many of us know what it feels like when the joy in marriage runs thin, misunderstandings pile up, expectations go unspoken, and love starts to feel more like effort than gift. This Sunday we’re asking a hopeful, honest question: What is marriage for and how can the gospel actually renew it?

In Ephesians 5:21–33, Paul paints a stunning picture: marriage is meant to reflect Christ’s self-giving love for the Church. It’s not about who’s in charge; it’s about two people learning a mutual, Christ-centered love that heals, serves, and perseveres. Whether your marriage is thriving, strained, brand-new, or decades in, this message is for you.

And if you’re single, divorced, or widowed, please come. This isn’t a “married-only” Sunday. We’ll talk about how the love of Jesus shapes all our relationships and our life together as a church family.

Join us Sunday as we explore how the Spirit can turn “running on empty” into renewed joy, how grace can move us from competition to communion, from keeping score to keeping covenant.
