"Covenant, Not Contract"
"Covenant, Not Contract"
Message by Pastor Bill Tucker
Message by Pastor Bill Tucker
Marriage begins with God’s declaration that it is not good for us to be alone. Before sin enters the world, God creates marriage as a gift marked by unity, commitment, and permanence. In a culture that treats relationships like contracts that last only as long as they benefit us, Scripture presents marriage as a covenant rooted in promise. This week sets the foundation by reframing marriage not as a consumer arrangement, but as a covenant designed to reflect God’s faithful love. Before marriage asks anything of us, it shows us what kind of love God has already given us.
