Pastor Owen Mason teaches on the divine design and purpose of marriage, focusing on keeping God’s priorities at the center of the relationship. Drawing from Genesis 2:24, Mason highlights how marriage is rooted in the covenant of "one flesh" — a unity that mirrors the believer's union with Christ, as seen in 1 Corinthians 6:17.
Pastor Mason emphasizes that God must be the foundation of every marriage. With Christ as our high priest, who sympathizes with our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15-16), couples can confidently seek His help in times of struggle.
He continues by comparing the marriage relationship to the Church’s response to Jesus: submission and respect, referencing Ephesians 5:22-24. Believers are called to reflect this relationship through mutual honor and obedience, empowered by setting their hearts on things above (Colossians 3:1-6).
The model for marriage, Pastor Mason teaches, is found in our identity in Christ. Revelation 19:7-9 presents the Church as the Bride of Christ, clothed in righteousness — a symbol of purity and preparation. Likewise, husbands are commanded in Colossians 3:19 to love their wives without harshness, reflecting Christ’s love.
Finally, the message concludes with the truth that marriage is a witness to all. Ephesians 5:31-32 reveals the mystery of marriage pointing to Christ and the Church. When lived biblically, marriage becomes a living testimony of God’s love, grace, and eternal covenant with His people.
