Message

FROM DEATH TO LIFE
“Marriage 101"
Ephesians 5:22-33

Introduction: Marriage should resemble the relationship between Christ and the Church.  God’s plan for marriage is that two become one.  (Matthew 19:6)

God’s Plan for Marriage:

Play your position(Ephesians 5:22-25)

  • o Wives Submitting (Ephesians 5:22-24)
  • o Husbands Loving (Ephesains 5:23-24)(I Peter 3:7)

Love like Jesus loves you  – (Ephesains 5:25-31)

  • Jesus’ Love
    John 3:16 – Sacrificial
       John 13:1 – Intentional
       Romans 5:8 – Unconditional
       Romans 8:39 – Unending
       Philippians 2:6-7 - Unselfish
  • Purifying Love (26-27)
  • o Caring Love (28-30)
  • o Enduring Love (31) (I Corinthians 13:4-8a) 

To Need Each Other (Ephesians 5:32-33)

  • The Wife Needs: To be loved
    She desires…
    - To have a spiritual leader
    - To be cherished
    - To have meaningful conversation
    - To have a protector and a provider

  • The Husband Needs: To be respected
    He feels respected…
    - Through marital intimacy
    - Home as a retreat & place of refuge (Proverbs 18:22)
    - When as a wife you take care of yourself
    - A lifelong companion and friend (Proverbs 31:10-12)

Application: Marriage is a covenant based upon trust, something that cannot be broken. Never lose this perspective.
