31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband. (NASB 1995)

Paul’s discussion of submission to authority takes what might be an unpopular turn as he puts his focus on healthy, biblical marriage relationships. | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

In this Bible Scholar Reacts episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb responds to a viral video claiming that Paul never commands husbands to lead their wives and that the Greek word kephale (“head”) only means “source,” not authority.Is that linguistically accurate?Dr. Halcomb affirms what's right in the argument — but also explains where the Greek is being stretched beyond what the evidence can support. Looking at Ephesians 5, the Septuagint, Judges 11:11, Isaiah 7:8, and Colossians 2:10, this episode explores how context determines meaning — and why absolute linguistic claims can be dangerous.Paul doesn't destroy the metaphor of headship. He transforms it.#bible #podcast #biblestudy #faith #jesus #christ #scholar #theology #education #reaction #react #reactionvideo #viral #viralvideo #marriage #greek #leadership #husbandwife #husband #scripture #instagram #instareels ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

Pastor Juan shares with us from Ephesians 5

Drohr invites us into mutual submission with Christ.

What does it really mean for wives to “submit” to their husbands in Ephesians 5?In this episode, we unpack one of the most controversial passages in the Bible about marriage: “Wives, submit to your husbands.”Is submission blind obedience?Does it mean tolerating sin or abuse?Is it outdated or oppressive?Or is it something deeper, and actually freeing?We explore:What biblical submission is notWhy this passage must be read alongside the call for husbands to love like ChristWhat submission looks like on an ordinary TuesdayHow respect, encouragement, and trust play out practicallyWhy submission is ultimately an act of worship to ChristIf you've wrestled with this passage (or avoided it altogether) this conversation will help you think biblically, clearly, and courageously about your role in marriage.

A verse by verse Bible teaching through Ephesians 5:1-20 by Pastor Brock Ashley.

Join Pastor Brian from Alliance Church as he delivers a heartfelt and humorous Christian sermon on marriage, drawing timeless Christian marriage advice from Ephesians 5 marriage teachings. Discover Biblical marriage roles that emphasize how to love your wife sacrificially—like Christ's love for the church—and how to respect your husband with encouragement and grace, fostering mutual submission out of reverence for Jesus. Explore godly husband duties as headship expressed through selfless service, responsibility, and empowerment, alongside godly wife roles as a powerful "helper" (ezer) that builds up the home. From Adam and Eve marriage lessons on taking spiritual initiative to the profound mystery of Jesus and the church marriage, this marriage in the Bible tune-up reminds us that both husband and wife hold equal power to steward their union for flourishing, all while honoring God's design without contradicting the relational equality and gospel-centered focus of Christian and Missionary Alliance doctrine.

Title: True Lies: Marriage is Fickle Preacher: Jamie Dunlop Series: True Lies Passage: Ephesians 5:22-33

"Marriage By God's Design" pt. 1 | Ephesians 5:21 - 21 | Pr. David Holt | Sunday, March 1, 2026 ******************** Living Hope Church Athens 2150 Lexington Road Athens GA 30605 United States Website: http://www.livinghopeathens.org

While the passage includes strong warnings about sexual immorality, greed, careless words, and drunkenness, these are not rules for earning salvation—they are invitations to something better. Biblical purity is reframed not as performance, but as a loving response to Christ's sacrificial love on the cross. Instead of chasing impulses that leave us empty, Paul calls believers to trade impurity for holiness, foolish talk for thanksgiving, and numbing behaviors for the filling of the Holy Spirit. Especially during Lent, this message challenges us to see obedience not as an unwinnable game, but as a pathway to deeper joy, healing, and life to the full.

Ephesians 5:15-21 with Pastor Greg Denham

Paul contrasts “walking in love” and “being imitators of God” with darkness, unfruitfulness and drunkenness. Believers are called to encourage one another along the journey, and the means of that encouragement is a bit surprising if you think about it. | Ephesians | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

Most of us were never taught what to actually look for in a partner. We go off vibes, attraction, and whether they seem like a good person and then wonder why things fall apart five years in. This week, Josiah gets specific about what separates a healthy man from a toxic one and the answer might not be what you expect.It's not about who's hotter, more successful, or says the right things. It's about trajectory. Does he take initiative or make excuses? Does he take responsibility or quietly let everything drift to whoever's most comfortable? Does he add shame to your life or actively work to take it away? Toxic and healthy men can look almost identical on the surface. Until they don't.We also talk about why the person you keep choosing might say more about how you see yourself than how you see them, and what it looks like to actually raise your standards instead of just saying you have.
