Paul continues to admonish the Ephesian church to live a new life in Christ, a life that is distinct from the rest of the world. The Christian ought not to partner with those who are disobedient. Instead of walking in their darkness, as we once all formerly walked, we should instead walk as children of light. To do this, we must pay attention to our daily walk, growing in our understanding of the Lord's will, giving thanks to God, submitting to one another in the fear of Christ. Continuing in this line of distinctive thinking, Paul goes on to say that a husband and his wife are to reflect the relationship between Christ and the church, as the husband should love his wife as himself and the wife should respect her husband. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
Listen as Pastor Paul answers four simple questions about life as a follower of Christ
Making the Most of Life (Ephesians 5:15-21) Pastor Clint Hamilton
Does loving someone mean giving up your voice, freedom, or power? What does healthy love look like when you disagree, want different things, or feel like you're always the one compromising?Real love isn't about control, keeping score, or always getting your way. Scripture offers a different picture: love that sacrifices, serves, listens, and submits—not because one person is less valuable, but because both people are learning to submit to Jesus.Ephesians 5:21–26 points to Jesus as the ultimate example of selfless love. He willingly submitted to the Father and gave Himself for us, showing us what sacrificial love looks like.Whether you're married, dating, or single, consider this question: What relationship are you insisting on controlling—and what would it look like to surrender it to Jesus?Reflect on Ephesians 5:21–26 and explore what real, selfless love can look like.

Title: Marriage That Displays Christ - Ephesians 5:21–33 What does a Christ-centered marriage really look like? In a culture filled with conflicting ideas about marriage, Ephesians 5 points us back to God's beautiful design. In this message, we'll explore how biblical marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and His church. Wives are called to respect and support Christlike leadership, while husbands are called to love with the same selfless, sacrificial love that Jesus demonstrated on the cross. Together, marriage becomes a living picture of the gospel. In this message: • Wives Submit as to the Lord • Husbands Love Like Christ • Marriage Points to Jesus Big Idea: Biblical marriage displays Jesus when wives respect Christlike leadership, and husbands love with Christlike sacrifice. Takeaway: Marriage flourishes when wives respect, husbands sacrifice, and both live under the authority of Christ. This week's challenge: • Wives: Where do I need to respect and support godly leadership? • Husbands: Where do I need to lay myself down to build my wife up? • Everyone: Am I living under the authority of Christ in my closest relationships? Join us each week as we study God's Word together at Sylvan Way.
Ephesians explodes with treasures of truth in every chapter. Paul's description of our blessings in Christ Jesus will stir our hearts to worship him (1:3-14). His exposition of God's amazing grace in raising us from death to life will humble us and move us toward devotion and ministry (2:1-10). Paul's vision of the church—a new society united by Christ and under Christ that causes cosmic creatures to stand in awe (3:1-13)—will strengthen our commitment to God's people. The gifts Christ gives to his church for ministry will strengthen our ministry—to one another and to the world (4:7-16). The book is full of precious promises and radical grace. We study it to strengthen our love for Christ, for one another, and for all who are yet to hear of Christ's grace.This week we are in Ephesians 5:22-24.Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.

August 9, 2026 - Walk - Ephesians 5-1-20 by Valleyview Friends Church
In “I Wanna Be Like God,” Pastor Shola Akognon teaches from Ephesians 5:1–21, where Paul calls believers to imitate God as dearly loved children. What does that actually look like in everyday life? Paul gives us three practical instructions: walk in love, walk in light, and walk in wisdom. Through the love of Christ, the transforming power of living as children of light, and the wisdom that recognizes our opportunities are limited, we learn that becoming more like God isn’t simply about trying harder. God has given us His Holy Spirit—and a community of believers—to help us live the life He has called us to live.

In this message, Samuel Goulet unpacks the meaning and weight of covenant—first between God and His people, then within marriage and the church community. Drawing from both Old and New Testament language, he explains that covenant is not casual agreement but a sacred commitment initiated by God and fulfilled through Jesus. Samuel challenges listeners to let that covenant shape how they follow Christ, forgive others, love sacrificially, and build marriages marked by holiness, humility, prayer, and enduring commitment.

July 19, 2026 What if your faith is most clearly revealed not on Sunday, but in your kitchen, your conversations, and your marriage?

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from Ephesians 5:22-33 and shares that because marriage belongs to God and reflects Christ's relationship with the church, He defines the distinct and complementary callings of husbands and wives. Wives are called to display the beauty of Christ through respectful submission, while husbands are called to demonstrate His sacrificial love through understanding, honor, and self-giving leadership. Together, husband and wife pursue oneness as equal heirs of the grace of life.
