    Ephesians Week 11 // What is Marriage // Andy Rodgers

    This Week at Genesis | Marriage, Covenant, and the One-Flesh Union Marriage is more than a cultural institution or personal arrangement—it is a covenant designed by God to reflect His faithful love for His people. In this message, we explore God’s vision for marriage from Genesis 2 and Ephesians 5, examining how the union of husband and wife points beyond itself to the relationship between Christ and His Church. Together, we reflect on God’s purpose for marriage, the challenges that have shaped modern understandings of it, and the invitation to live into a covenant marked by love, sacrifice, commitment, and mutual devotion. Scripture & Themes 📖 Scripture: Genesis 2:18–24; Ephesians 5:21–33 ✨ Themes: God’s design and purpose for marriage, covenant love and lifelong commitment, leaving and cleaving to form a new family, becoming one flesh in body, soul, and spirit, marriage as a reflection of Christ and the Church, mutual sacrifice, love, and submission, restoring God’s vision for relationships in a culture shaped by individualism.

    Ephesians Week 5 // God's Eternal Purpose // Chris Wienand

    This Week at Genesis | Ephesians 3:1–13 In Epistle to the Ephesians 3, we step into Paul’s perspective on suffering, purpose, and what truly makes a life worth living. Writing from prison, Paul reframes everything—not as loss, but as calling. His life is anchored in something bigger than comfort or personal gain: the building of God’s temple and the formation of a new kind of community. At the center of it all is a mystery now revealed—God’s grace extended to all people—and an eternal purpose we are invited into. A life not driven by “what’s in it for me,” but by being part of what God is doing in the world.   📖 Scripture: Ephesians 3:1–13 ✨ Themes: Purpose over comfort, The mystery of Christ revealed, The Church as God’s dwelling and family, Living for something eternal About Genesis Costa Mesa We are a Jesus-centered community on mission, shaped by the table, worship, prayer, story, and mission.
