Sacred Marriage Participant's Guide with DVD What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy?
9780310880691
$28.60 USD $36.99 USD
In this six-session small group Bible study, Sacred Marriage, writer and speaker Gary Thomas invites you to see how God can use marriage as a discipline and a motivation to reflect more of the character of Jesus.
Your marriage is much more than a union between you and your spouse. It is a spiritual discipline ideally suited to help you know God more fully and intimately. Sacred Marriage shifts the focus from marital enrichment to spiritual enrichment in ways that can help you love your mate more. Whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God.
Everything about your marriage—from the history you and your spouse create, to the love you share, to the forgiveness you both offer and seek by turn—is filled with the capacity to help you grow in Christ's character.
The DVD features six 10-15 minute live teaching vignettes from Gary Thomas. In addition to life-changing insights, you’ll find a wealth of discussion questions in this Participant’s Guide that will spark meaningful conversation in your group, between you and your spouse, or to simply ponder by yourself. You’ll also find self-assessments, activities, and highlights all created to help you engage deeply and prayerfully with the content of this study.
Sessions include:
- God’s Purpose for Marriage
- The Refining Power of Marriage
- The God-Centered Spouse
- Sacred History
- Sexual Saints
- Marriage: The Love Laboratory

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and over the centuries it has changed people’s lives and led them to God. Yet sometimes it can be a difficult book to understand.

In A Brief Survey of the Bible, Bible professors John Walton and Mark Strauss give you the background you need to successfully understand even the difficult parts of the Word of God. They provide an overview of the Bible’s key themes, show what the teachings meant to the people at the time, and explain how those teachings apply to your life today. By the end, you will have a greater understanding of Scripture, know how all the books work together, and understand what God has done to make a way for you to come to him.
The DVD features:
- An introduction to the course
- Nine sessions of teaching on the Old Testament from John Walton
- Four sessions of teaching on the New Testament from Mark Strauss
- A leader’s guide in pdf format
