This sermon:

Instructions for Christian Households – Christian ideals for family & the workplace

No 8 in the series on The Bible book of Ephesians

We need hope in this world. We need…
FAITH – belief in God’s great saving plan, because our todays and future are in his hand.
FAMILY – growing together in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
FRIENDS – because we are not meant to be alone, nor made to be alone.

The primary relationship we strive for, yet often lose direction with, is in marriage – (Ephesians 5:25-28) “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
But this is not the only vital relationship for our health, as discussed here by Campbell.
