Love Stories—2

A Shared Mission



“Marriage isn’t just about finding your partner in life, but also your partner in mission.”

"What Your Marriage is Missing"

Priscilla & Aquila

… Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Acts 18:1-3

· They were very important to the early church.

· They were willing to serve God wherever they were.       

· They served God with a unified mission.

3 Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in the ministry of Christ Jesus. 4 In fact, they once risked their lives for me. 

I am thankful to them, and so are all the Gentile churches. 5 Also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home. Romans 16:3-5 NLT

What’s a Life Group?

“A group of believers that choose to do life together.”

Why do Life Groups Matter?

“You were not created to do life alone”

“A marriage without spiritual community is a vulnerable marriage.”

Unity of Mission

Hospitality

Discipling Others

26 [Apollos] began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately. Acts 18:26

2 Forces That Will Unite Your Marriage

Common Enemy

Common Mission 

What do you both love?

What do you both hate?

What are you going to do about it?

3 Come … let us exalt his name together. Psalms 34:3NLT

Marriage was never meant to be just about love.

Marriage is meant to be about mission.
