Our Restored: a Journey to Renewed Hope series continues as Pastor Matt Ulrich gives us a snapshot of how biblical marriages can supernaturally bring restoration. Marriage is a lifelong relational covenant (Matthew 19:4-6) between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24-25) with the missional intent (John 17:18-23) of mirroring God's covenant with us (Deuteronomy 7:6-11 & Ephesians 2:8-10). This covenant is relational, it is personal, and a living display of God's love for us. It is not about our happiness, but about God's glory. There's a ripple effect on our children, family, neighbors, that becomes a catalyst for restoration when we choose to be intentional to live out His design for our lives .
