6/25/17 1 Ephesians 5 21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of His body, the church. 24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything. 25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up His life for her 26 to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. 27 He did this to present her to Himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. 28 In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. 29 No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. 30 And we are members of His body.

“The sacrifice you make to get the promotion is the sacrifice you need to make to keep the promotion.”

Dr.Jack Keegan

Priorities…

#1 – Child of God

#2 – Husband

#3 – Dad

God = #1

My Wife = #2

My Kids = #3

A call to ALL CHRISTIANS

Attitude of Mutual Service

This is a revolution!

To make marriage work…

we must submit ourselves to the other!

John15:13–

“Greaterlovehasnoonethanthis:tolay

downone’slifeforone’sfriends.”

Spirit-Guided Relationships…

Lay down your life for the sake of others.

Whoever loses their life...will find true life!

God’s Purpose = Reconciliation

Church = the instrument…

Reconciliation begins in our homes!

If our faith does not transform our lives to reflect Jesus Christ, no one will listen to us. If we do not find creative ways both to point to & exhibit the radical, shocking, & subversive love of Christ, no one will pay any attention…

In our world today, people must often first see the transforming power of Jesus’ lordship, and

then they will learn the way of faith…

It couldn’t be more simple…

…and yet, it couldn’t be any harder to live into!
