Mark 10:3-5

In this 4-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson gives Biblical wisdom for life’s relationships. This plan will encourage you to reflect on singleness, friendship, marriage, and divorce as we attempt to love the way Jesus loved in the various relationships we may find ourselves in.

This devotional series focuses on communing with God, the One who is near, and exploring what it means to be “gates of heaven” on the earth. This idea presents itself in Genesis with Jacob, and in the New Testament through the life Jesus and at Pentecost. We created this series as a way for anyone around the world to engage with the theme of our Heaven Come Conference: “God is Near”.

When we read the Bible, how do we understand the text, how do we extract biblical principles from it, how do we pray from what we've just read? If you don't know how to study God's Word and want to grow in your understanding of what the Bible says, then this reading plan is for you.

Marriage is a challenging and rewarding relationship, and so often we forget that “I do” is only the beginning. Fortunately, the Bible has much to say about marriage from both the husband’s and wife’s perspectives. The brief Scripture passages you’ll encounter each day of this plan are designed to help you grow in your understanding of God’s design for marriage—and deepen your relationship with your spouse in the process.
