Husband, The on SermonAudio

Marriage Covenants explained from scripture to help married couples understand their roles before God.

What is the marriage covenant? Teaching includes what the covenants are between the husband, wife, and God and how this impacts how we view marriage.

The sermon explores Paul's instructions on marriage in Ephesians 5, presenting the relationship between husband and wife as a living portrait of the union between Christ and the church. It emphasizes that while wives are called to submit to their husbands as to the Lord, this authority is bounded by Christ's supreme headship, and husbands are commanded to love their wives with the self-sacrificial, sanctifying love Christ demonstrates for His bride. The preacher argues that these roles are not arbitrary social constructs but divinely ordained stations that reflect the gospel, aiming to transform the household into a witness of God's grace. By grounding marital duties in the gospel rather than mere duty, the text seeks to elevate the affections of believers toward Jesus, encouraging them to live out their roles with joy and intentionality. This approach counters the world's distortion of marriage and addresses the specific needs of married, unmarried, and widowed believers, urging all to find their identity and motivation in their union with Christ.

The King, Not the Thing Our Commitments, Our Families, and Our Representation of Jesus Numbers 30–31 | Romans 12:1–2 | Ephesians 4–6 This message emphasizes that the circumstances we encounter are not meant to govern who we become; rather, the Lord uses those circumstances to transform us as we entrust ourselves to Him. It's not the thing that's changing us, but the King who is renewing us through the thing. Drawing from Numbers 30, the teaching examines the seriousness of our vows, commitments, and responsibilities before God. The Lord warns against rash promises and calls His people to live with integrity, wisdom, and faithful dependence upon Him. The instructions concerning fathers, daughters, husbands, and wives reveal the importance of accountability within the family and point us toward the greater picture of Jesus and His church. As our Head, Christ sacrificially loves, nourishes, cherishes, and continually intercedes for His redeemed people. Therefore, our marriages, homes, and relationships ought to faithfully reflect His character rather than the selfish patterns of this world. The message also revisits Balaam, whose counsel led Israel into compromise when he could not successfully curse those whom God had blessed. His example warns believers that the enemy often seeks to accomplish through compromise what he cannot accomplish through direct opposition. This is why we must remain attentive to God's Word and refuse to allow the world's thinking to govern our decisions, relationships, and responsibilities. Romans 12 provides the foundation for this transformed life. While the world is shaped by its experiences, pressures, and patterns without acknowledging G

Is Marriage a Scam? In a culture where marriage is increasingly questioned, redefined and sometimes dismissed altogether, what does Scripture actually say about it? In episode 8 of Insaka Season 3, we consider marriage from a biblical perspective. Marriage is not a human invention, but a good gift instituted by God for His glory and our good. Though affected by sin and marked by real challenges, God's design for marriage remains good, calling husbands and wives to covenant faithfulness, sacrificial love and lives shaped by Christ.

Following the dictates of the Quran such as 5:51 – "O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and Nasara (Christians) as friends." There's 9:73: "O you prophet, perform jihad against the infidels and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. And their abode will be hell, and evil is the final place." There's 47:4: "So when you meet those who became infidels, so strike the necks until you have made a great slaughter among them." Lastly, there's 25:52: "So do not obey the infidels, and perform jihad against them with a big jihad." That's exactly what took place, three years ago today, when the Islamic terrorist group Hamas launched the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. On that day nearly 1,200 Israelis were killed and 251 people taken hostage. As Jihad Watch pointed out, "Terrorists burned people and pets alive, children among them, looted homes, set houses and neighborhoods on fire, took civilians and bodies and filmed it. One terrorist called his parents from a victim's phone and said he had butchered ten Jews, including the woman whose phone he had taken and her husband." The article continued, "...they shot civilians on the roads, in shelters and at intersections then drove on to the communities. They shot the old, fathers and mothers with children, and teenagers. They also killed whoever was in the way, including foreign workers." The attacks against Israel continue…

The sermon addresses the claim that God commands abortion by examining the Law of Jealousies in Numbers 5. It argues that the text describes a ritual to test a wife's fidelity when a husband suspects adultery, rather than prescribing a chemical termination of pregnancy. The analysis highlights that the woman is not stated to be pregnant, and the outcome depends on divine judgment rather than a consistent chemical reaction. The central theological theme is that this law serves to restrict the wickedness of men, preventing them from arbitrarily accusing and killing innocent wives. By applying hermeneutical tools such as context and cross-referencing, the message demonstrates that the passage protects the innocent and upholds God's character as good.

James 3:13-18 — Strife and bitterness in your home mean something is wrong at the source. Godly wisdom from above brings a peaceful home. ⛪ Preached at Pilgrim Baptist Church's 3rd Annual Family Camp • Cookeville, TN • October 6, 2026. This family integrated church sermon from James 3:13-18, featuring guest preacher Pastor Thomas Irvin, answers a question every husband, wife, and parent eventually asks: why is there strife in the home? If your house is full of bitterness, envy, and confusion, this message says the cause is the source of wisdom you are following, and it shows how to replace earthly wisdom with godly wisdom from above. Pastor Irvin shows from James 3 why a man can build a house and still lose his home, why bitterness is nearly impossible to undo once it takes root, and why the first step is being willing to be taught. He also shows how to change course at home patiently, kindly, and together, without tearing the house apart. If you want a peaceful home, strife in the home has to be traced back to its source. Walking through James 3, 1 Corinthians 3, Philippians 3, Jude, 1 Timothy 6, and Philippians 2, this sermon explains: - Why the problem is not a lack of information but a lack of teachability (James 3:13) - The difference between wisdom that builds a house and wisdom that builds a home - Why meekness marks real wisdom, and why you need godly men to show you - Why bitter envying and strife in the home point to the wrong source of wisdom (James 3:14-16) - Why bitterness is nearly impossible to undo once it sets in - How to change your home's direction patiently, without ripping everything out overnight - What godly wisdom looks like: pure, peaceable,

Proverbs 5:15-21 — Why do marriages drift apart after the kids leave? A biblical marriage message on keeping the wife of your youth. ⛪ Preached at Pilgrim Baptist Church's 3rd Annual Family Camp • Cookeville, TN • October 6, 2026. This family integrated church sermon from Proverbs 5:15-21, featuring guest preacher Mike Loftin, takes on a question most couples avoid: why do people stay married for thirty years, watch the children leave home, and then end up divorced, or in the same house and miserable?

Pastor Loftin preaches as a man who has been married for thirty years to his high school sweetheart. He explains why a deeper love grows over time, why hard times draw a couple closer, and why a marriage built only on the physical will not hold. He also tells how he answered a woman who tried to flatter him, and why every husband and wife should be ready with an answer when temptation comes. Walking through Proverbs 5, Malachi 2, Genesis 2, Ecclesiastes 9, and 1 Peter 3, this sermon explains: - Why you must make time for your spouse or you will drift apart - What it means to drink waters out of your own cistern (Proverbs 5:15) - Why the wife of thy youth is your companion and the wife of thy covenant (Malachi 2:14) - What the Bible says about putting away a spouse (Malachi 2:16) - Why you cannot grow closer to the Savior and farther from your spouse - Why the standard is "How does God treat me?" for wife, husband, and children - How to keep your marriage joyful through communication and being easily entreated
