Big questions, Is sex before marriage ok? Does it matter to God to move in together before you get married? Does the Bible address these issues of sexuality? The answer is, yes! It all started in Genesis when God created marriage.

Is it possible that many of our issues today are the result of getting away from God’s will and plan for marriage and sex? Rather than going by our opinions and feelings, let’s study God’s original plan for sex and marriage.

 

Series description:

To understand life, we must understand where it all began. The question of, "Why are we here..." can be answered by, "Who made us." If we are here because of a cosmic accident, that means that we are part of a random accident that happened millions of years ago. But if we were created by a creator, then our life has purpose and meaning because we were planned and desired!

To understand life, we must understand our beginning! Origins will be an in-depth study of the first chapters of the Bible that explains the foundations and purpose for everything!
