Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:22-33
Christians have lived through their fair share of mania regarding cultural discussions around the topic of gender roles. But have we always lived up to Paul’s ideal he sets forth in Ephesians 5? Probably not. When we see God’s complementary design for men and women, our marriages can flourish again.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:22-33
Marriage can be so hard. Paul turns to the topic of marriage as the culmination of a letter dedicated to the idea that God was repairing the world by uniting all things in Christ. Our marriages are intended to be pictures of that union. When we use marriage for what it was intended, we experience flourishing.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:1-20
Paul continues to focus on the new life the Lord brings by the Spirit dwelling in His people. The new life is marked by love, which practically changes our relationship with money, sex, and alcohol. The Scriptures press in on these issues, not to shame us, but to bring them to light for healing and transformation.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:17-32
How does change happen in the Christian Life? Paul in Ephesians 4 says it involves a putting off and a putting on. But what’s so encouraging is that the life you are putting on actually is the life that fits the person who is united to Christ. It’s a life of truth, kindness, generosity, and forgiveness.
