Series Title: “What in Your World is God Doing?”
Today’s Title: “Does your home life match your church life?”
Today’s Text: Ephesians 5
Paul’s familiar teaching about the roles of husband and wife…..
- SUBMIT TO ONE ANOTHER (v21 & 4:21-33)
- Wives, in as much as your husband submits to Christ, submit to him
- Husbands, love means to give yourself away
So, in marriage, and in all family relationships,…
- WALK IN THE WAY OF LOVE v2 & 4:29-5:2
- The way of Forgiveness
- The way of Unity
- Is this the path of your home?
- LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU v6 & 5:3-7
- Guard your heart (sexual immorality, impurity, greed, obscenity)
- Guard your words (foolish talk, coarse joking)
- Are you guarding your home against such things?
- LIVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT v8 & 5:8-14
- Light produces good fruit
- Light exposes what is fruitless
- Is your home filled with light and the fruit of that light?
- BE VERY CAREFUL, THEN, HOW YOU LIVE v15 & 5:15-20
- making the most of every opportunity
- understand what the Lord’s will is
- be filled with the Spirit
- always giving thanks to God
- Are you being very careful about your home life?
