Genesis 1:26-2:25
Well, if you have your Bible, please turn to Genesis chapter 1. If you can't find Genesis chapter 1, you're in trouble. Right at the first the book of beginnings. We're in a series called Foundations, and we're looking at the foundations that God has set up. That He has used to set up life and uphold life and make life work.

On the sixth day of creation, the day when He made Adam and when He made Eve, He established marriage and family. It's more important than government. It's more important than schools. It's more important, in terms of first things, than even the church because God established first marriage, and then marriage that produces children and produces a family.
Now I think we would all agree that marriage and family are being attacked today - severe attack on marriage. People in our world today, they want to redefine marriage. They want to redesign marriage. Ah, many in our world today say, ''Well, who needs marriage? I'm just going to, ah, live with my girlfriend, live with ...
