About this episode
Hughie discusses the biblical model for Christian marriage based on Ephesians 5:23-25.
In today's sermon, Hughie discusses this passage from Ephesians. We see that husbands cannot save their wives, but they should 'sacrifice' for them as Christ laid down his life for the Church. Wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord. Wives submit as Jesus should submit to the Father and submit not to 'men' but to her husband. For husbands, loving your wife is a *command*, whatever the circumstances, husbands are instructed to love. Join our family morning service every Sunday at 11am.
