This year, the book of Ephesians will give structure and meaning to the plenary sessions. In looking at the topic of marriage, it can be easy to isolate Ephesians 5:22-33 from the rest of the book of Ephesians. But in order to understand the mysteryof the union of marriage, we have to start at Ephesians 1:1 and end with Ephesians 6:23.

It is our desire to let this incredible letter shed light on the specific issue of marriage...leaving you refreshed, challenged and humbled by the riches of God's redemptive truth.

FRIDAY

Tim Lane "ONE calling unto God and Others: Ephesians 1-3"
Marriage is not a "topic;" it is one expression of the purposes of the glory of God’s grace in Christ; it is one flesh that gives expression to the more profound “one body” of union with Jesus our Savior and Lord and his people.

Mike Emlet "ONE Calling Unto Unity and Maturity: Ephesians 4:1-16"
Ephesians 4:1-16 captivates us with a glorious vision of unity and maturity within the church, a necessary foundation for living day to day as a married couple.

Julie Lowe "ONE Anothering: Ephesians 4:17–5:2"
How do you contribute to the change process?  How is love conversational-relational? Right at the center of God’s purpose, is our becoming constructively helpful.

SATURDAY

Winston Smith "Keeping Marriage Counseling on Track" (Mini Course)
Marriage counseling can be volatile. Spouses interrupt each other, roll their eyes, ask you to choose sides, and even explode in anger. This seminar will show you how to create a positive atmosphere and guide married couples into constructive interactions with each other.

Bob Lepine "ONE in the Fight: Ephesians 5:3–5:21"
As husbands and wives work together to understand God’s will for them, and to walk together accordingly, they will find themselves engaged in an ongoing battle with darkness.   What exactly does it mean for couples to walk together as children of the light?

SUNDAY

David Powlison  "ONE: Wives and husbands: Ephesians 5:22–6:9"
The particular callings of husband and wife are set against the backdrop of the general calling expressed in the first four General Sessions. Ephesians 6:1–9 will also be explored to see how marriage operates in a context of other responsibilities, such as to children and to work.

Ed Welch "Finally ONE: Ephesians 6:10–24"
Re-visiting marriage relationships in the context of both the devil’s schemes and our union with Jesus Christ.
