Authority in Marriage | How married couples can emulate Christ and the church in everyday life

In this last part of our One Flesh series on biblical chastity, marriage, divorce, adultery, and remarriage we go through some of the more frequently asked questions relating to these topics such as: What is the Biblical definition of sex? If I live with someone and view them as my spouse, does that mean we are Biblically married? Can women divorce their husbands according to the Bible? If a man cheating on his wife is not “technically” considered adultery, how do you explain Mark chapter 10? If a woman was divorced for an illegitimate reason, and marries another, should she divorce her second husband? and more!

One flesh is how the Bible defines a man joining with a woman in marriage. But what does it mean to be married Biblically speaking? What defines a marriage in the Father’s eyes? How do we, as believers, avoid sexual immorality and what exactly does the terms sexual immorality or fornication encompass?

To compliment our teaching “The Church: His Model” we have released a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) follow-up to assist in offering additional clarity on this complicated and controversial subject. In this presentation we are going to respond to a large number of questions surrounding this topic that we did not get covered in the main teaching. Some of these questions include: Does the Moses Model work? What about Paul appointing elders? Does this mean Paul had more authority? What about Hebrews 13:7 and 13:17? What is the Hebraic difference in the usage of elder, shepherd, or pastor? and more!!! Before you proceed with the rest of this teaching, we ask that you watch the teaching titled, “The Church: His Model” first.

This Parashah Points draws from Genesis 24 and Ephesians 5, urging husbands to love their wives as Messiah loves the church. It highlights the example of Isaac’s tender love for Rebekah and the self‑sacrificial standard for husbands.
