Ephesians 5:15-21 "Walk in Love" Pt. 2 (5/17/26)

Ephesians 5:25-33 “Godly Marriage” Part 2 (5/31/26)

Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her—cleansing, nourishing, and cherishing her. Wives, respect your husbands. This profound mystery reveals that marriage is far more than a human union: it is a living picture of Christ’s sacrificial love for His bride, the Church. In these closing verses of our two-week series on Godly Marriage, Paul pulls everything together. A Christ-centered marriage isn’t built on cultural ideas of romance or equality, but on the gospel: husbands leading through self-giving love, wives responding with honor, and both reflecting the beautiful, unbreakable relationship between Christ and His people. When we live this way, our marriages display the glory of the gospel to a watching world.

Ephesians 5:22-24 “Godly Marriage” Part 1 (5/24/26)

Wives are called to submit to their own husbands as to the Lord. The husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church (his body, of which he is the Savior). Therefore, just as the church submits to Christ, wives should submit to their husbands in everything. This is part one in the two-week message.

Ephesians 5:15-21 "Walk in Love" Pt. 2 (5/17/26)

In Ephesians 5:15-21, Paul urges us to live wisely in evil days by making the most of every opportunity. Rather than being controlled by wine or the empty pleasures of this world, we’re commanded to be filled with the Spirit—speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in our hearts to the Lord, and giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of Jesus Christ. This Spirit-filled life overflows into joyful worship, constant gratitude, and humble submission to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Ephesians 5:1-14 "Walk in Love" Pt. 1 (5/10/26)

In Ephesians 5:1-14, Paul calls us to imitate God as dearly loved children and to live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us. He urges us to walk in the light—rejecting sexual immorality, impurity, greed, and coarse joking—because these things have no place among God’s holy people. Instead of partnering with the darkness, we’re to expose it, wake up from spiritual sleep, and let Christ shine on us so we can live as children of light.

Ephesians 4:17-32 "The New Life" Pt. 2 (5/3/26)

In Ephesians 4:17-32, Paul gets intensely practical about what the new life in Christ actually looks like day-to-day. He urges us to stop living like the surrounding culture—futile in thinking, darkened in understanding, and enslaved to sensual impurity—and instead to put off the old self completely. We’re called to be renewed in the spirit of our minds, speak truth, control our anger, work honestly, guard our words, and replace bitterness, rage, and malice with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness—just as Christ forgave us.
