In the second part of his exposition on Ephesians 5, Pastor Dusty Burris unpacks how the gospel transforms husbands. Drawing from Christ’s sacrificial and sanctifying love for the Church, Pastor Dusty calls husbands to love their wives selflessly, nourishing and cherishing them as their own bodies. This sermon emphasizes that a husband’s love must reflect Christ’s character, marked by sacrifice, holiness, and a commitment to his wife’s spiritual good so that marriage magnifies the gospel’s power and purpose.

Ephesians 5:22–33 reveals how the gospel transforms marriage itself. Using the imagery of a wedding ring holding up a diamond, Pastor Dusty Burris shows how Christian marriage is designed to display the beauty of Christ and His gospel. This first part focuses on the transformation of wives, emphasizing that a wife’s submission to her husband flows from her love and submission to Christ. Rooted in the gospel, marriage becomes a living testimony to the watching world of Christ’s redeeming work.

Pastor Dusty Burris explains why the gospel is the lifeblood of every healthy marriage. Preaching from Titus 3:1–7, he shows that the gospel first transforms us as individuals by renewing our hearts, minds, and lives through God’s mercy and grace. Only by remembering who we once were apart from Christ and rejoicing in His saving work can we cultivate godliness in our relationships, starting in the home. This sermon calls believers to anchor their marriages in the transforming power of the gospel as the foundation for love, patience, and unity.

Continuing the series on marriage, walk through Genesis 2 and 3 to uncover God’s design, sin’s corruption, and God’s gracious solution for marriage. Beginning with God’s perfect creation of Adam and Eve, Pastor Dusty highlights marriage as a good gift, given for companionship, fruitfulness, and God’s glory. He then traces how sin shattered harmony between husband and wife, creating struggle and brokenness in every marriage since. Yet, even in the fallout of Genesis 3, God promises a Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who restores hope and enables believers to build marriages that reflect the gospel.

Pastor Dusty Burris opens a new series on God’s design for marriage by first addressing the foundation every believer must understand: we were created to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. Drawing from Romans 11:33–36, Pastor Dusty reminds us that the purpose of life and marriage is rooted in God’s glory, not self-fulfillment. Whether single or married, this sermon challenges listeners to examine their hearts, submit to God’s Word as the true compass for life, and find lasting joy in Him as the source of every blessing.
