Morning sermon from 2nd March 2025. Preacher Carol Best
Dive deep into this MAJOR PASSAGE! What about "submission" in Ephesians 5:22-24? Paul teaches reciprocating submission among Spirit-filled believers (compare 5:18b-21, and 5:33). What about "love"? Paul teaches that even mutual up-building must have LOVE as a major component. Just "as Christ" loved in 5:23b, 25b and throughout this passage, so too for the partners in the Christian marriage of 5:33. What about "head"? Paul is not not referring to authority or source. He is talking about the GREAT MYSTERY of 5:31 and 32 - the unity of believers and Christ in one joint-body.Go deeper? Read Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5:15-6:9 by Bruce C. E.

In our previous study of Ephesians 5, we explored verses 1-2, where we were instructed to be "followers of God, as dear children." This means we should emulate God in the same way a child mimics a parent. We are called to love as He loves, walk as He walks, speak as He speaks, and live as He lives—in essence, to reflect the Father in every aspect of our lives. This is a challenging directive, yet it is the standard we are urged to pursue daily. In the verses we'll examine today, another command is given. Verse 7 states, "Be ye not therefore partakers with them." Just as we are to mirror the Lord in all possible ways, we are equally called to reject the behaviors, mindsets, and patterns of the world. This passage will guide us on what we should avoid as we navigate life in this world. It's all too simple to slip into the world's routines and rhythms. It's tempting to just go along with the crowd, adopting the ways of those who do not follow God. It's easy to echo the sentiment of Ambrose of Milan: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Many Christians fall into this trap. We take on the world's styles, its language, its values, its forms of entertainment—nearly everything it offers. Yet, the Lord calls us to stand apart, to be distinct from the world in every way. The Lord Himself addressed this clearly: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” (2 Corinthians 6:17). If we are to model ourselves after anyone, let it be the Lord. If we seek a pattern to follow, let us look no further than the Lord God Almighty.
This week, we explore Paul's instructions on cultivating the right relationships and, more importantly, the proper motivation behind how we love and serve our spouse, children, and employer.
The War on Marriage: Why Biblical Roles Are Under Attack. This week Danny takes us through Ephesians 5 'Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.' Ephesians 5:22-33
The message from Ephesians 5:6-14 emphasizes living as children of light, avoiding sin, and exposing darkness while stressing the importance of truth and obedience to God.Highlights

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron and Delia share how God designed men and women in unique ways that create a picture of the kingdom in a marriage relationship. As we love and trust our spouse, we can display the relationship of Christ and the Church.
February 26, 2025 In this week's podcast, Pastor Mike Moses discusses our calling to imitate the God of love, seen supremely in Christ's substitutionary atonement. He also explains how sacrificing for others refers not primarily to physical death but to humble acts of love.
Ephesians 5:21, “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” What does biblical submission really mean, and how does it impact our relationships? Too often, submission is misunderstood as weakness, but Scripture presents it as an act of love, humility, and mutual respect. Pastor Zacharias discusses how this principle applies to friendships, church life, and everyday interactions, but specifically in our marriages.
If I Were Dying: Carry On - Ephesians 5:15-21Tri NasonLife's brevity demands we focus on what truly matters for eternity. The core foundations of Christianity - Jesus's death and resurrection, God's sovereignty, and salvation through Christ alone - must remain central. Building God's kingdom requires training others, engaging in missions, and fostering authentic Christian community. True discipleship goes beyond Bible knowledge to active faith practice, addressing personal growth and living out beliefs in community. Our decisions and investments should be guided by eternal impact rather than temporary comfort.Visit us and find more at:https://www.friendshipsturgis.comand facebook.com/fbcms Helpful Links:New Here?: https://friendshipsturgis.com/connectAnnouncements: https://friendshipsturgis.com/announc...Online Giving: https://friendshipsturgis.com/giveKids: https://friendshipsturgis.com/kidsFamily: https://friendshipsturgis.com/family
Jesus gave up his life for his bride, the Church.
As we begin to study the 5th chapter of this great book, we are immediately confronted by a passage the demands that we do the impossible. We are called to be like God. We are called to love like He loves. It sounds like an impossible task. How can we, sinful, human, frail, failing people ever be like Him or love like Him? This text has much to say about this call to be like the Lord.
February 23, 2025 In this week's sermon, Pastor Mike Moses admonishes us to be like God in love, and points us to God's brightest example of love in Christ's atoning death upon the cross.

Ephesians 5 - Aaron Eggers - Wednesday Evening, February 19, 2025 by First Baptist Church of Hammond
Listen to the next message from the Family Matters series. Pastor Derrick speaks with 2 church members about marriage.
The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR
