Pastor Chad teaches that the church is the Bride of Christ, loved deeply and sacrificially by Jesus, who redeems, cleanses, sanctifies, and prepares His people for the day He returns for them. Using Ephesians 5, Pastor highlights ten ways Christ lovingly cares for His church and calls believers to respond with sincere devotion, guarding their thoughts and affection from drifting toward the world. He explains that sin is not merely rule-breaking but spiritual unfaithfulness that breaks God’s heart. Finally, drawing from Revelation and ancient wedding customs, Pastor Chad reminds the church that history is moving toward the marriage supper of the Lamb, and believers must actively prepare themselves—living holy, attentive, expectant lives—as Christ soon returns for His bride.
