Marriage God's Way


Listen Later

In this powerful message, Senior Pastor Sam Weitman unpacks what marriage is really meant to be according to God's design in Ephesians 5:21-33. Using a memorable analogy about authentic hand-pulled noodles, Pastor Sam shows us how we've all experienced different versions of marriage, but God's design is the way it was truly meant to be.

Key Points:

💍 The Purpose of Marriage - It's not primarily about your happiness or fulfillment, but about displaying Christ to the world

💍 Mutual Submission - Both husband and wife submit to one another out of reverence for Christ

💍 For Wives - Submission doesn't mean inferiority - it demonstrates the humility of Christ as an equal choosing to honor her husband's God-given leadership

💍 For Husbands - Love your wife as Christ loved the church:


• Initiate (don't wait to be asked)

• Sacrifice (give up rights for her good)

• Provide (ensure family needs are met)

• Protect (create space for her to flourish)

💍 The Secret for Men - You cannot lead your wife well if you're not radically submitted to Christ yourself

💍 The Big Picture - Marriage is a window through which the world sees Christ and the church relationship

Bottom Line: When both partners fulfill their roles, it creates a beautiful dance of mutual flourishing that points people to Jesus! ✨
