This sermon explores the biblical mandates for submission and honor within marriage, drawing primarily from 1 Peter 3. It addresses wives' call to submit through godly conduct rather than external adornment and husbands' responsibility to live with their wives in an understanding way, honoring them as fellow heirs of grace. The preacher clarifies that this structure reflects God's created order but strictly prohibits abuse, emphasizing mutual submission to God and the gospel-centered nature of marital relationships. By examining examples like Sarah and the sacrifice of Christ, the message presents marriage as a covenant designed for the sanctification of both spouses and the glorification of God. Ultimately, the sermon urges believers to rely on Christ's grace to fulfill these high standards, viewing their union as a testimony of divine love to the world.

Adversity is the quickest way to reveal the value of one's faith. What are Christians like when they find themselves in the wilderness of suffering? In this sermon on Psalms 63:1–3 titled "O God, Thou Are My God," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones examines David's prayer as he turns to God in the midst of trouble. Dr. Lloyd-Jones demonstrates a core Biblical truth: adversity always drives the true believer to God. In times of suffering, the non-Christian is annoyed and curses God. In contrast, the believer has just the opposite response. He turns to God. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that this is because the true believer has discovered God's lovingkindness to be better than life. Like a love-sick person, the believer is satisfied with nothing this world can give and is utterly miserable without God's love. But with God, they can face anything. Nothing compares in value to God's lovingkindness. Listen and find complete satisfaction in this intimate knowledge of God. The psalmist's response to adversity should also be that of the Christian with lips that should praise Him. Rejoice in God. He will never let His child go.

DAY 14 — LOVE TAKES DELIGHT. ECCLESIASTES 9:9 KJV Marriage was never meant to become nothing more than paying bills, keeping schedules, raising children, working jobs, and getting through another week.God intends for a husband and wife to enjoy one another.There was probably a time when you could hardly wait to see your spouse. You enjoyed talking together. You looked forward to spending time together. You noticed the little things about each other.But somewhere along the way, responsibilities can replace romance, routines can replace excitement, and familiarity can cause us to stop appreciating the person we once could not stop thinking about.Day 14 of The Love Dare reminds us that love does not merely endure the person it chose.LOVE TAKES DELIGHT IN THEM.The Song of Solomon gives us a beautiful picture of two people who noticed, appreciated, and enjoyed one another. Their relationship was not merely about obligation. There was affection, admiration, companionship, and delight.That is important because our hearts have a tendency to follow what we continually think about.

This kids message explores the Seventh Commandment through the lens of faithfulness, using reserved seats as an illustration for marital exclusivity and spiritual devotion. It connects the call for husbands and wives to remain faithful to one another with the broader biblical theme of God's covenant love for His people.

This divine constancy serves as both a model for human relationships and a source of comfort and forgiveness for believers. Ultimately, the teaching urges all ages to practice faithfulness in heart, word, and action, reflecting Christ's sacrificial love.
