We share a simple image of a lawless road to show why loving boundaries matter, then walk through Paul’s household guidance that reframes power as partnership and work as worship. The heart of the message is mutual love, integrity, and awe that frees homes from fear.

• why shared boundaries protect freedom
• Roman household power and fear
• mutual love between husbands and wives
• children honoring parents; parents avoiding harshness
• integrity at work as service to Christ
• guidance to slaves and masters; justice and equality
• discernment, safety, and non‑enabling love
• living in awe and wonder before God
