We exist to love all people to Christ and equip them on their journey with God and one another. We believe Jesus Christ is the hope of the world and the church is His plan for sharing that hope with the world. Every week, from the First Baptist Owasso, we explore the Word of God to strengthen our faith, draw near to Him, and deepen our love for one another.

episode 11: The Family
Chris Wall • Genesis 2:18-24 NIV
“God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. A biblical family is brought together by marriage, blood, or adoption.”
In this series “Asking for a Friend” I hear many friends asking questions around the idea of humanity, marriage, gender, and family.
Of course, none of us have to look real hard to see how our culture is redefining family and gender roles.
At our church, we embrace the authority of Scripture. Around here we want God’s word to stand. In fact, God’s word is so significant, it shapes our beliefs and our practices.
I say this all the time, whenever I find a practice in my life that goes against Scripture, I am compelled to adjust my life to the word of God. Whenever I discover a belief that goes against the Bible, I am compelled to adjust my mind to what the Bible says.
Many of our friends are questioning what a family should be? We need to be prepared not only to answer them, but we need to honor God even while living in a modern world with changing definitions.
So, with this in mind, the question of the day is this: Is the family relationship established by God or is it a societal creation of man?
