"Uncommon”

Genesis 2:4-3:16; 1 Peter 3:1-7

 

“There has never been a generation whose general view of marriage is high enough.  The chasm between the biblical vision of marriage and the common human vision is now, and has always been, gargantuan . . . Some cultures . . . like our own, have such low, casual, take-it-or-leave-it attitudes toward marriage as to make the biblical vision seem ludicrous to most people.”  John Piper, This Momentary Marriage

 

Two Significant Questions . . .

 

1. What does an uncommon marriage look like?

 

• An uncommon marriage is gospel-centered, not self-centered.
  • Uncommon grace.
  • Uncommon love.
  • Uncommon forgiveness.
  • Uncommon trust.

 

2. What does it take to have an uncommon marriage?

 

• If you are going to have an uncommon marriage it will take an uncommon man and an uncommon woman surrendering to and pursuing an uncommon Savior.
