When God created Adam & Eve, Scripture tells us He blessed them with a command to have children. We'll look at the implications of this for the Church today and compare it to the views of the culture. Are marriage, children, and family still blessings and commands for Christians today? What about singleness? We'll talk about all of it.
SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:
How has personal experience and the influence of the culture shaped your views of marriage and children?
Do you feel your views align with Scripture or conflict with Scripture?
How can we reconcile the idea of marriage and children as blessings with the very real challenges and hardships that often come with them in our fallen world?
How can single Christians balance pursuing obedience to God’s command to marry with not rushing into a relationship foolishly?
Have you ever pursued a life goal at the expense of obeying, or delaying obedience to, God?
What are some good reasons for delaying marriage?
What are some bad reasons for delaying marriage?
Invite the married couples in your group to share an unexpected blessing they found in marriage.
How can the Church meaningfully affirm and celebrate biblical singleness?
