RUF at Illinois Ethan Brown

God's purposes for us include a generational design, a universal command, and gospel freedom. Listen as Ethan speaks about the good news and good counsel of God's Word, and how our relationship with God our Father shapes the way we relate to our parents.

RUF intern Tim Sandridge speaks on the gift of singleness from 1 Corinthians 7:6-7, 32-35 and Isaiah 56:4-5.

Ethan speaks on the Depravity we experience in our sexuality, the Dignity of God's good design, and how the grace of Jesus meets us right where we are, but doesn't leave us there.

God's design for marriage is good, but we are hopelessly incapable of living in light of that design without his help. Thankfully, God hasn't left us on our own. He tells us in his Word that marriage is a picture of the gospel; and the gospel is the power of marriage.

God's Word says nothing about 21st century dating. But it does give us good counsel and good news that we can apply to this important part of our lives.

God's Word is full of good news and good counsel that can enable us to enjoy deep friendships. Through Jesus Christ, the Friend of Sinners, we can grow in the art of knowing and loving others, which is at the core of what it means to be a friend.
