Title: Marriage That Displays Christ - Ephesians 5:21–33 

What does a Christ-centered marriage really look like? In a culture filled with conflicting ideas about marriage, Ephesians 5 points us back to God's beautiful design. In this message, we'll explore how biblical marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and His church. Wives are called to respect and support Christlike leadership, while husbands are called to love with the same selfless, sacrificial love that Jesus demonstrated on the cross. Together, marriage becomes a living picture of the gospel.

In this message: 

• Wives Submit as to the Lord 

• Husbands Love Like Christ

• Marriage Points to Jesus 

Big Idea: Biblical marriage displays Jesus when wives respect Christlike leadership, and husbands love with Christlike sacrifice. 

Takeaway: Marriage flourishes when wives respect, husbands sacrifice, and both live under the authority of Christ. 

This week's challenge: 

• Wives: Where do I need to respect and support godly leadership? 

• Husbands: Where do I need to lay myself down to build my wife up? 

• Everyone: Am I living under the authority of Christ in my closest relationships? 

Join us each week as we study God's Word together at Sylvan Way.

Unity isn't just something we talk about—it's something we live every day. In Ephesians 4:25–32, Paul shows us what genuine Christian unity looks like through our words, attitudes, actions, and relationships. As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect the new life He has given us by speaking truth, controlling our anger, working with integrity, encouraging others with our words, and extending the same forgiveness we've received in Christ.

In this message, you'll discover how everyday choices can either strengthen or weaken the unity God desires for His church.

In this message you'll learn:

Key Takeaway: Real unity is possible when we put off our old way of living and choose to love one another as Christ has loved and forgiven us.

The grace of God does not just save us; it sends us.

In Ephesians 3:7–13, Paul reminds us that grace makes servants, not spectators. Though Paul saw himself as “the least of all the saints,” God’s grace empowered him to preach the riches of Christ and reveal God’s wisdom through the church.

This message looks at how God’s grace moves us from receiving the Gospel to serving with the Gospel. Grace gives us purpose, grace sends us in God’s power, and grace displays Jesus through His church.

Big Idea:  Grace saves us, sends us, and displays Jesus through the church.
