Living in Marriage to the Glory of God

Today scripture is found in Ephesians chapter 5 verses 21 to 33 and it can be found on page 1823 in the Bible's in the seats in front of you.

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Why submit to your husband as to the Lord for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church his body of which he is our savior now at the church committed to Christ so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husband love your wife. Just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy cleansing her by the washing with water through the word at the presents hurt himself as a Radiant Church Without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless in the same way husband as their own bodies. Eagle loves his wife loves himself after all no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it. Just as Christ does the church for weed?

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be United to his wife and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church. However each one of you must also love his wife as he loves himself and the wife must respect her husband was the morning we continue our series of standing firm in the face. When we consider the question. What does it mean to be human under? the reign of God we have talked about what it means to be in the end made in the image of God with wings be made in the image of God created for Covenant Community. Marriage happens to be the first of those cabinets.

The way you talked about what it means to be single live in it for the glory of God last Sunday. We talked about how the promise of the Gospel helps the stand burger with bacon today. living In marriage to the glory of God next week. How do we hear there's a Christian? For the glory of God so our meeting this morning starts with this word the bed.

Is Darth Vader?

we just freaking call Sweet Carrie to that word so much. Call Pool.

That's how we think about that word in the 20th and 21st. And how it has been abused in the culture in general and within the church. We have to admit it. It's been abused in the church as well. We have these kinds of images in our mind and then our hearts physically or emotionally abusive husband and we read those words submit. Can we just think a wife is supposed to just take what a husband like that. I'm here to tell you. What's the Bible? What is Sarah Smith?

but we also known as

sometimes husband's supposed to take whatever their wives.

not what the Bible means by submit at all either but when we bring those images

to our understanding of the word and when we read those words submit to one another and we have those images and those related feelings and sounds like a horrible.

I want to see Matt tomorrow.

Well, I want to Encouraging that. I think it's largely because we have misunderstood.

What does the bible mean when it uses that word?

A whole verse says submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. The first thing to know is that when we talked about marriage in the context. Of the fire. We are not talking about marriage in June. as it is lyrics Christian

the picture of a Biblical marriage is one.

Cole Sprouse has deeply committed to Jesus first of all, and then deeply committed to each other. Christian marriage

I trust we will see you when you look at the scriptures this morning really stands as a one-of-a-kind need. understanding of what marriage is so let's take a look at what the Bible means? When is the cement?

To submit with in Ohio is a mutual trust your heart. The Greek word means to be or become in or willing to submit.

Posture of heart now those outside of marriage when they face when they hear the word submit a different kinds of definition goes through their mind.

Fortunately understanding of the mission also, the filter into our parts at Maya is Christian, but that's not what we mean at all.

In the Bible study mission is a mutual posture of the heart the mutual pastor of the heart for the answer the wife.

We can think of it as the starting point if you win the home base for where we start to relate to each other is with that inclination.

A related sent to that Greek word is simply to be humble. To be marked by Mitten surf Odyssey, not arrogant or crap.

Subway set understanding about Mutual posterior part. Let's consider some of the barriers to submission. The first barrier is hostility.

Romans 8:7 tell us the Mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God it does not depend.

Is it possible to God we will submit neither to him nor are we capable of submitting to guys fast? Hostility is the first ferry. And then it's self-centeredness is the second barrier this the attitude of organization and the actions that convey the male is better than you were always.

Call goes straight to the talking about Israel. He says they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own mother would do it our way. We'll do it our way submit. And when we are ingrained our way is always the best way.

We neither submit to God. Norwin capable of submitting 2 hours fast

So then we begin to get a picture. Of what it means when as a married couple weeks of missing each other when the Pasha about heart is one that is humble. Any word for filling the wishes of each other? Rather than being hostile or arrogant and insisting on our own way.

Submission of a little bit different than the picture that we have in our rent a whole lot. It's not the same thing at all.

Here we had to take a moment. To just say if you take 8 Behavior so far nine coming up and when you make them as a checklist.

Why do we describe here is completely impossible apart from the spirit of God, you won't be able to do it.

So many marriages fail Christians and non-christians not a Christian marriages fail because somewhere in a cultural memories they have the marriage is supposed to be something lightweight.

Clear crystal point I can't hold it together.

And then we're Christians if we tried to do this, but we are you're not feeding our souls in Christ in his word before your not meaningfully connected with his body with a church family. We're not growing more and more in the likeness of Jesus.

We have a posse of Florida being willing to submit to our star spouse because we don't want to disappoint our Lord and we don't want to disappoint.

what we talked about

To her death is more important than whatever it is is on your agenda.

That's what it is.

Take care of yourself, but because it's such a 4 minutes 5 minutes as I think about marriage I want to address it just briefly, then we can deal with it today. But so curious to see changing Genesis yourself to your own husbands as you do to the Lord for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. body of which tea is this I just want to briefly say it to things about this. The first thing is that husbands are accountable before God. Spiritual well-being and the overall well-being of their wives something. I think that is absolutely clear from Ephesians.

Can't leave any doubt about that.

Husbands are held accountable before guy for this. Now, why are held accountable before God? recognize encourage and cooperative with her husband Scott with accountability

That doesn't mean there's never a disagreement. There's never.
