WATCH SERVICE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GezN_IS83go NOTES: March 7 & 10, 2024 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:23-24 (ESV) Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Ephesians 5:22-33 (ESV) Action. On purpose. Effort. 100% of it. Individual connection with God. To bring something to the table. Church Service Breakdown and Devotional Date: March 7 & 10, 2024 Message Title: "United in Purpose: Marriage and Commitment" Key Themes Marriage and Unity Roles and Responsibilities in Marriage Christ-like Love and Respect Purposeful Action and Effort Key Scriptures and Their Meanings 1. Genesis 2:23-24 (ESV) Scripture Text: "Then the man said, 'This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.' Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Meaning: This passage highlights the unity and intimacy intended in marriage. The concept of leaving one's parents and becoming one flesh with a spouse sets the foundation for a deeply committed and intimate relationship. 2. Ephesians 5:22-33 (ESV) Scripture Text: "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband." Meaning: Paul draws a parallel between the relationship of Christ and the church to that of husbands and wives. Wives are called to submit to their husbands, while husbands are called to love their wives sacrificially as Christ loves the church. This mutual respect and love foster a healthy and godly marriage.
