Created Male and Female, God’s Good Design
Equipping You in Grace · Marriage & Family Series
Show Summary
We begin our February series, Marriage and Family: God’s Design for the Home, by returning to Genesis 1–2. God created humanity in His image, male and female, and called His design very good. In an age that questions truth and identity, Scripture gives clarity. Today, Dave explores what it means to bear God’s image, why gender and marriage matter, and how the gospel restores God’s good design.Watch
