Be cautious of relationships that seem too good to be true

One of the strategies he uses is to encourage unequally yoked marriages, where ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 7:15-20, Ephesians 5:22-33
Theme: How does the image of marriage (according to Paul) show us the relationship between Christ and the church?
O Lord, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. If you are asked to submit to someone, how do you picture this happening? You probably think of obeying someone who is above you. Someone who has more authority than you. ...read more

The Biblical view of marriage is very different indeed to the contemporary world's view of marriage. The Bible demands a huge amount from us. But through a Christian marriage, we can model Christ's relationship to the church!
INTRODUCTION After our relationship to God, marriage is the most important relationship we get into. But society’s view of marriage has changed dramatically over the past half century or so. What I would like to do today is give you two pictures. The first picture is what I’m calling the ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 5:18-33
Focus is on being filled, and on what it means to "submit to one another"-- we all "put ourselves under" one another.
Today's verses build directly off last weeks, so I'm going to go ahead and start reading from 5:3. Hopefully, as I read them, you'll find yourself thinking, "Hey, I understand these verses." (3) Now, sexual immorality and all uncleanness or greediness must not even be ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-24
Key points: "submission"= treat with respect; "head" is a metaphor, and doesn't mean "ruler"; husbands love/cherish/sacrifice for their wife-bodies, which is why wives submit.
Today, we have the privilege of starting to tackle one of the more heated and debated passages and topics in the Bible. It's about how husbands and wives should relate to each other. With respect to this topic, and this passage, there are three main questions that are debated among ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-33
Husband, you love your body. Your wife is your body. Love your wife. We focus on the head; Paul's interested in the head-body metaphor. Love by sacrificing, cherishing, providing.
Today, we continue our series on Ephesians, and we continue to talk about husbands and wives, Christ and the church. Last week, I focused on wives, because that's where Paul starts. We saw that what it means for a wife to submit to her husband primarily revolves around the idea of treating ...read more
