One Flesh

The sermon examines the biblical foundation of marriage by contrasting the lack of explicit family instructions in the Old Testament with the detailed directives found in the New Testament. It emphasizes a close reading of Genesis 2, highlighting the necessity for spouses to leave their parents and become one flesh, a condition often neglected in favor of parental attachment. The message further explores Ephesians 5, positioning marital harmony as the central theme between the commands to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to stand against the devil. The tone is instructional and convicting, urging believers to view obedience to these specific scriptural commands as the path to a happy marriage and divine approval.
