The VOW [ONE FLESH!]
Feb 22, 2026 • Wade Bishop
The sermon explored what it truly means to become "one flesh" in marriage according to Genesis 2:24. We examined the critical difference between viewing marriage as a contract versus a covenant, and how this distinction shapes everything about how we approach our marriages. Marriage is not two people managing life together—it's two lives becoming ONE FLESH by God. This understanding has profound implications for our spiritual life because covenant marriage mirrors Christ's sacrificial love for the Church. When we grasp that marriage is a holy institution designed by God, for God, we begin to see it as a sacred reflection of the Gospel itself.
