This sermon series focuses on three passages in Ephesians to study and discover God’s original design for our lives, our marriages, and our parenting. The outline for each week of the series, “Marriage By Design,” “Parenting By Design,” and “Holy By Design,” shares a main idea, key points to teach through the scripture, and a ‘next step’ that includes a take-home activity. Pastors can change or tweak this material where appropriate to best fit their church. You can also view the “Resources Page” below to view all materials used to create this series and use it as inspiration for creating your own outline. It is encouraged to use Communio’s sample graphics and sample listening guides to help keep listeners focused and engaged. Creating teaching slides with the sample backgrounds and using the scriptures, main idea, teaching points, and next steps from the listening guide is recommended. Also included is small group material that will go in tandem with the series. This provides supplemental reading, discussion questions, and a skills-based activity that will help guide couples on their Ongoing Engagement journey.
