Spirit-Filled Marriage by Better Life Church

Ephesians 5:15–33 with Joshua LewisPaul writes that to live a life worthy of our calling, we must be filled with the Spirit. In marriage, this filling shows up not in control or power, but in submission and sacrifice. Wives are called to yield in trust, and husbands are called to love as Christ loved the Church—by giving up their very lives. This is not about domination, but about embodying the cruciform love of Jesus.

Josh Strelecki, Pastor-Teacher, explores the profound teachings of Ephesians 5, focusing on the Spirit-filled life and God's institution of marriage. He draws parallels between the relationship of Christ and the church and that of husbands and wives, emphasizing the command for husbands to love their wives sacrificially and sanctifyingly, akin to how Christ loved the church. Strelecki highlights the elements of this divine love, describing it as sacrificial, sanctifying, enduring, nourishing, cherishing, intimate, and unbreakable. He encourages husbands to view their role as nurturing their wives both spiritually and physically, using the Word of God as a source of cleansing and guidance. Strelecki cautions against relying on worldly wisdom to resolve marital issues and instead urges couples to turn to Scripture for genuine transformation and enrichment of their union.Strelecki also addresses the importance of marital intimacy, discussing the Biblical perspective of sexual union within marriage from 1 Corinthians 7. He emphasizes mutual respect and benevolence, framing the physical relationship as a sacred, exclusive bond to be cherished and nurtured. While acknowledging cultural influences that may challenge traditional views, Strelecki encourages open communication and sacrificial love, viewing it as a reflection of Christ's enduring love for the church. Ultimately, he highlights that the greatest spiritual growth comes from the relationship between spouses, with each partner playing a significant role in the other's journey to becoming more like Christ. Through this lens, Strelecki urges couples to see their marriage as a powerful testament to God's grace and purpose, bringing glory to Him and serving as a light to others.

Josh Strelecki, Pastor-Teacher, delves into the profound aspects of a Spirit-filled marriage, particularly focusing on the roles and responsibilities of husbands as outlined in Ephesians chapter 5. He emphasizes the importance of loving one's wife as Christ loved the church, highlighting that this love is sacrificial, purposeful, and enduring. Strelecki notes that while the world often misinterprets love through selfish or carnal desires, biblical love is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and requires husbands to lead by sacrificially giving of themselves. This love transcends personal merit and societal norms, requiring a Spirit-led approach that aligns with God's grace and purposes within the marriage institution.Strelecki further explains that the husband's love is not contingent upon the wife's merit but is a reflection of Christ's unconditional love. He urges husbands to see their responsibility as a profound one, equating the marital union to the relationship between Christ and the church. This includes a commitment to sanctify and cleanse the marriage, much like Christ sanctifies the church, using the Word of God as the means of purification. The pastor-teacher underscores the transformative power of this love, which can impact not only the marriage but also serve as a testimony to others. By understanding and applying these biblical principles, husbands can truly embody the spirit of Christ in their homes.

Josh Strelecki, Pastor-Teacher, focuses on the Spirit-filled life as outlined in Ephesians 5, specifically how being filled with the Spirit impacts all life relationships, particularly marriage. The sermon addresses specific roles in marriage, especially the submission of wives to their husbands, as a reflection of the relationship between Christ and the church. Strelecki lays groundwork by relating marriage to other divine institutions like family, work, and government, all requiring mutual submission and reflecting God's authority and instruction. A significant portion of the sermon is dedicated to understanding the biblical, mutual responsibilities of marriage, emphasizing love, chastity, help, and peace as essential duties for both husbands and wives. Josh Strelecki emphasizes the importance of applying biblical instructions regarding treatment of fellow believers to one's own spouse, challenging the congregation to view these teachings as pertinent not only to church-wide interactions but primarily within the marriage union. He stresses that the submission called for is voluntary and Spirit-led, rather than coerced, and urges the faithful to view marriage through God's lens, seeing its sanctity and glory, even amidst cultural opposition and personal failure. The sermon concludes with encouragement to see marriage as a reflection of Christ and the church, urging believers to navigate marriage with grace and a Spirit-filled perspective.

In the sermon, Pastor Josh Strelecki delves into Ephesians 5:22-33, focusing on the institution of marriage and its profound implications for believers. He emphasizes that marriage, as instituted by God, involves the union of a man and a woman becoming one flesh. Strelecki highlights four primary purposes of marriage: companionship, family, avoidance of sexual sin, and a reflection of Christ and the church. He explains that while sin has corrupted the purity of marriage, the teachings in Ephesians offer a Spirit-filled perspective that contrasts sharply with Greco-Roman societal norms. In that context, marriages were often transactional and marked by imbalance and neglect of genuine love and mutual submission.Pastor Strelecki also underscores the importance of submitting to one another in love, as a reflection of Christ's relationship with the church. He addresses common misinterpretations of submission and headship, urging a return to Biblical principles rather than succumbing to societal distortions. The sermon encourages believers to view marriage as a training ground for eternal life, where mutual submission and love mirror the relationship between Christ and the church. Strelecki concludes by challenging the congregation to recognize the transforming power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God in strengthening and sanctifying marriages in a way that honors Christ.

When both husband and wife live under the influence of God's presence—that is, living a Spirit-filled life shaped by His love and truth—marriage becomes a reflection of Christ and the Church, not a struggle for control but a display of covenant love. Submission and love are not about power—they are about trust, sacrifice, and mutual honor. This is the mystery of marriage: it was always meant to point us to Jesus.

Message from Jarrett Stephens on May 11, 2025

Marriage is more than a contract—it's a covenant meant to reflect the love of Christ. But how do imperfect people live out something so sacred? This message from Ephesians 5:21–33 gives us the answer: not by trying harder, but by surrendering deeper.   A spirit-filled marriage doesn't begin with effort—it begins with surrender to God. From that spring flows mutual submission, humble leadership, and sacrificial love. This isn't about roles that crush; it's about grace that lifts.   Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, this message will point you beyond stereotypes and expectations to the stunning picture of Christ and His Church.

I discuss the importance of respect in Christian marriages. I explain the Eph 5:33 verse, & that I'd heard that many wives may struggle with showing respect, which is distinct from submission. Practical ways to show respect are also outlined.Further ResourcesWhat does a Spirit Filled Marriage look Like?Puritan Wives: Margaret Tyndal Winthrop and her extraordinary love letters

A new MP3 sermon from First Baptist Church of Goodpine is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Spirit-Filled Marriage Part 2 Speaker: Brandon Poole Broadcaster: First Baptist Church of Goodpine Event: Sunday - AM Date: 8/11/2024 Bible: Ephesians 5:22-33 Length: 46 min.

We continue our teaching series based on Ephesians, truly one of the greatest “books” in the New Testament. Lot's can be said about this book—and we WILL say a lot in this study—but the key theme throughout the letter is “the power of God's grace.” In fact, the word “grace”—pound for pound—appears more in the letter to the Ephesians than any other book in the Bible. And the word “power” appears as much in Ephesians as it does anywhere else in the Bible. So we invite you to join us on this journey of learning more about God's grace and how to live in the power of His Spirit.  (Today's Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-33)

Main point: Ephesians 5:28-33 describes three qualities of a husband's love for his wife.

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.Wives and Husbands22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Ephesians 5:22-33 ESV22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies.

Ultimately, a Spirit-filled marriage is to reflect Christ's relationship with the church to the world. In a Spirit-filled marriage, a husband will love his wife as himself, and the wife will see that she respects her husband.
