    To be a great father, you must first become a great husband.

    Where Have all the Fathers Gone? As a teenager I thought my dad was the dumbest person in the world. I loved him, but I didn’t think that he was too smart especially when he disciplined me. After getting married and having 5 kids that thought that I was pretty dumb, I soon realized how smart my ...read more

    Paul describes the great mystery of Christ’s passionate love for the church through the relationship of the husband and wife. What does it look like for the Church to have a passionate relationship with Jesus? It begins with SUBMISSION.

    A Nashville newspaper carried a tongue-in-cheek story about a Mrs. Lila Craig who hadn’t missed attending church in 1,040 Sundays (20 years). The editor commented, “It makes one wonder, what’s the matter with Mrs. Craig? Doesn’t it ever rain or snow in her town on Sunday? Doesn’t she ever have ...read more

    Through the husband and wife relationship Paul identifies the mysterious relationship that Christ has with His Church. As we enter into a passionate relationship with Christ, He will make us into a LOVING CHRUCH.

    I like the story about the legalistic Seminary student who wanted to have a scriptural basis for everything he did. He felt he was on solid ground if he could quote chapter & verse to okay all his actions. He was doing fine until he fell in love with a beautiful co-ed. He wanted very much to ...read more

    The relationship between husbands and wives pictures the mysterious relationship between Christ and His Chruch. As we share a passionate relationship with Jesus He will make us into a RADIANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH through righteous living and good works.

    A young man was head over heals in love with a young lady. The time they spent together was magical. When they were with each other everything was always perfect; there was never a problem. He decided that the two of them should be married, so he set off in search of the prefect engagement ...read more

    Will we be the church as Jesus desires us to be? The husband and wife relationship pictures the mysterious relationship between Christ and His church. He will make us a NURTURING CHURCH as we are passionately in love with Him.

    We are all saddened to learn this week of the death of one of our church’s most valuable members, Someone Else. Someone’s passing created a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else has been with us for many years, and for every one of those years, Someone did far more than a normal person’s ...read more

    A Happy Home And A Cooking Church Series

    To have a "Happy Home" and a Church which cooks...requires us to do it God’s way.

    * Years ago my dad taught me a lesson which I remember till today. As usual, I had to learn it the hard way. As I recall, he sent me into the yard to remove a rose bush. Instead of doing what he said and “digging it up”, I cut it off just below the ground and roughed up the dirt like I had dug ...read more

    What Does It Mean to Lead?

    Ephesians 5:21-33 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also ...read more

    What it means for a married man to be the head of his wife and of his home.

    If the Lord wills, both today and next week we will focus on what it means for a married man to be the head of his wife and of his home. We focus on this for two reasons. One is that the Bible says in Ephesians 5:23, “The husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church.” We ...read more

    In Christ’s relationship to the church, he is clearly seeking the transformation of his bride into something morally and spiritually beautiful.

    Ephesians 5:21-33 [Submit] to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also ...read more

    Marriage: Forgiving And Forbearing Series

     | 9,792 views

    The purpose of human marriage is temporary. But it points to something eternal, namely, Christ and the church. And when this age is over, it will vanish into the superior reality to which it points.

    You recall perhaps that my wife, Noël, said, “You cannot say too often that marriage is a model of Christ and the church” (see Ephesians 5:31-32). I said that I think she is right for three reasons. I’ll mention two. The first was that saying this lifts marriage out of the sitcom sewer and elevates ...read more

    The church is the body of Christ. It is not a building or an event. 24/7 x 365 days a year, we are the church!

    7 Truths About the Church Ephesians 5:25-32 Introduction: What is the church? Is it a building? Is it an event? Does church begin when the doors are unlocked on Sunday morning?

    Paul compares the Christian life to a marriage and just like a marriage men will nevery have the intimacy that they desire without communication (prayer).

    This morning’s message is perhaps much more of men and prayer, but I hope that it will have impact on all of us. I want you to take some time today and consider why scripture describes our relationship with the Lord in the context of a marriage. Both men and women need to develop a longing for ...read more

    Meeting Your Wife's Needs In Christian Marriage Series

     | 12,362 views

    This is the fourth sermon in a series of four on Christian marriage which deals with husbands meeting the most basic needs of their wives from an “exchanged life’ perspective.”

    Someone has said, “A woman marries a man thinking she can change him. A man marries a woman thinking she’ll never change.” Men and women have similarities and differences. In fact, entire volumes have been written on this subject. The following story about a young couple will illustrate what I ...read more

    This is the second sermon in a series of four on Christian marriage which deals with Getting at the Heart of God’s Plan, Being Mutually Submissive as well as Leaving and Cleaving - from an “exchanged life’ perspective.”

    It doesn’t take a social scientist to figure out that marriage today is in trouble. Adultery, divorce, depression, alcoholism, work-alcoholism, and a host of other “isms” have reached epidemic proportions. It may have been Benjamin Franklin who said, “A disease is never brought under control ...read more

    50th in a series from Ephesians. How marriage reflects the love between Jesus and His body, the church.

    Donald Grey Barnhouse was the pastor of the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1927 until his death in 1960. Early in his ministry he read Revelation 13:8 which described Jesus as the “Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world”. His observation about that passage, ...read more
