Marriage: Plan and Purpose
Marriage is a sacred institution that forms the bedrock of society. It is a union between two individuals who are committed to building a life together based on love, trust, and respect. As Dr. Todd Gray will discuss in this message, marriage is more than just a legal contract; it is a spiritual covenant established by God. In today’s society, where the concept of marriage is often devalued and misunderstood, it is crucial to reflect on its plan and purpose as defined by the Creator.
Foundation of a gospel family
The family unit is the building block of society, and marriage is the cornerstone of a gospel family. When a man and a woman come together in holy matrimony, they create a safe and nurturing environment for themselves and their children. The bond between husband and wife reflects the deep love and sacrificial nature of the relationship between Christ and the Church. By emphasizing the importance of marriage in the Gospel Family Blueprint series, we learn that a healthy marriage sets the tone for a thriving family, church, and community.
Proclaim the gospel and bring glory to God
One of the primary purposes of marriage is to proclaim the gospel and bring glory to God. The love, faithfulness, and unity displayed by a married couple should serve as a testament to the transformative power of God’s love. As Dr. Todd Gray will elaborate, a harmonious marriage is a living testimony of God’s grace and redemption in our lives. By upholding the sanctity of marriage and honoring the marital vows, couples can reflect God’s love and truth in a world that is often filled with broken relationships and discord.

Worship service at Cogan Church
The worship service at Cogan Church is a time to come together as a community to lift our voices in praise and adoration of our Creator. Through singing wondrous mysteries revealed in Jesus, we express our gratitude for His sacrifice and resurrection, which enables us to experience hope and deliverance. The worship service sets the tone for a meaningful and transformative experience where we can draw closer to God and worship Him in spirit and truth.
Reflection on Christ’s sacrifice
Central to the Gospel message is the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, who gave His life for the redemption of humanity. As we reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection, we are reminded of the incredible love that God has for each one of us. His victory over sin and death brings hope and deliverance to all who believe in Him. The worship service provides a space for us to meditate on the profound significance of Christ’s sacrifice and how it shapes our understanding of love, forgiveness, and grace.
Personal Testimony
Sharing personal struggles and triumphs is a powerful way to witness to God’s transformative work in our lives. During the service, individuals may have an opportunity to share their testimonies of finding faith in Jesus amidst challenges and uncertainties. These personal stories serve as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and the hope that can be found in Him. By opening up about our journeys of faith, we encourage and inspire others to seek God’s presence and guidance in their own lives.
Upcoming Event Announcement
