Husband, The on SermonAudio

Genesis 3:15-21 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16 ¶ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 17 ¶ And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 20 ¶ And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 21 ¶ Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

This sermon establishes that marriage is a divine institution ordained by God to reflect His image and the nature of the Trinity. Drawing primarily from Genesis and Ephesians, the speaker explains that husbands are called to sacrificially love their wives as Christ loves the church, while wives are called to submit to their husbands in reverence to God. The central message emphasizes that a godly marriage demonstrates unity, mutual submission, and spiritual leadership, serving as a visible testimony of God's glory to the world. The preacher challenges believers to abandon cultural misconceptions and actively pursue this biblical design through selfless action and spiritual accountability. Ultimately, the goal is for Christian marriages to display such profound love and order that they draw others to Christ.

This sermon explores the biblical mandate for godly womanhood found in Titus chapter two, emphasizing the vital role of older women mentoring younger ones. The preacher outlines seven specific virtues for young women, including love for family, sobriety, purity, and submission to their husbands. He addresses cultural shifts regarding domestic roles, arguing that a woman's primary calling is to manage her household with diligence as a significant ministry in the kingdom. The message encourages younger women to seek mature mentors and older women to embrace their responsibility in discipling the next generation. Ultimately, faithful adherence to these principles serves as a powerful witness to the gospel and honors God within the home.

(1) Israel Watch 8/9/26: A "deal" is in the works with Iran (Persia) which we believe will be temporary through the mid-terms. Meanwhile the Gaza deal appears to be rejected by P.M. Netanyahu with Hamas agreeing to disarm but having a perfect track record of LYING (Taqiyya). Massie (agnostic), Kent (Catholic), Carlson (Protestant), Marjorie Taylor Green and husband (neo-evangelicals) are forming a third party with the intent of destroying MAGA due to their support for Israel. The call is to ostracize and demonize those of us who are Christian Zionists.

A bride purchases her gown and puts it on for just one day. After, she will change into regular clothes, and her white wedding dress is put away. In the new covenant, the way we see a bride for just one day is the way God sees us every day of our lives in Christ. This is a covenant sealed and consummated forever by the blood of the Great High Priest, Jesus Christ. He has given us a garment of salvation, a robe that is white with the righteousness of Christ. And He is working in us the love and affection suitable for such a bride to such a husband. This covenant will not end in divorce, for it is made effectual by God Himself. So long as we both shall live, He will be our God and we will be His people.

"HOW HUSBANDS SHOULD RESPOND TO BAD WIVES" How should a Christian husband respond when his wife is rebellious or contentious? The Bible presents a path between two dangerous extremes: passive tolerance and sinful cruelty. A husband is commanded to love, nourish, cherish, provide for, and protect his wife. But biblical love does not require him to ignore rebellion or enable destructive behavior. In this message, we examine practical examples throughout Scripture of husbands confronting wrongdoing while continuing to love and seek restoration. A practical Bible study on how a husband can remain loving without becoming passive, exercise headship without becoming cruel, confront wrongdoing without bitterness, and continue seeking the good of his wife even when she is disobedient. This message also examines the general role and responsibilities of a husband in providing for, protecting, cherishing, and rejoicing with the wife of his covenant.

Wives, be submissive to your husbands, and so be able to obey them and call them your lords.
