DM: Dating and Marriage

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This four-week series is a cultural hot topic. In the world of teenagers, dating can often be seen as crush to crush concept with no end goal except self-gratification. While the Bible doesn’t speak on dating in particular (dating as we know it is a modern construct), DM is a series designed to help students understand the importance of their relationships, and how they can better prepare themselves for a healthy, Christ-centered marriage. What does the Bible say about relationships and marriage? How can we apply these principles to our lives today? This month-long series is a great opportunity to talk to your students about a sensitive subject.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
