We Are Family: Marriages Arise

We Are Family: Marriages Arise

In American culture, we have been taught to fight for our rights and to push back on those who stand in our way. Yet the Bible has a repeated message that, in the right context, submission is a good thing. Jesus submitted to the will of God. We are to submit to Jesus. While some would take Paul’s words in Ephesians and twist them to create male dominance/headship, it is clear from the passage that Paul intends that husbands and wives submit to each other without one dominating the other. In other words, the new Christian life takes us back to the Garden of Eden before sin entered, where Adam and Eve lived in equality.


Our #WholeLifeReflections for this week:

  • In what areas of your life to struggle with submission?
  • Can you think of a time you submitted and gained from it?
  • What views of marriage and/or practices in marriage do you need to rethink after hearing this sermon on Ephesians 5?
