Bible Text: Ephesians 5:21–33 | Sarah Horder
Series: Growing Roots and Bearing Fruit
In this sermon from our Ephesians series, Sarah explores Ephesians 5:21–33, a well-known and often challenging passage about husbands and wives.
Rather than focusing on power or hierarchy, this talk centres on mutual submission, sacrificial love, and Christ-like humility. Sarah unpacks how Paul’s words call husbands to love as Christ loves the church — laying down power, serving selflessly, and nurturing — and how marriage is meant to reflect the deep, life-giving relationship between Jesus and His church.
This sermon invites us to rethink marriage through the lens of the gospel, showing how healthy relationships are built on love, respect, unity, and devotion to Christ. It’s a helpful and pastoral teaching for anyone wanting to understand how faith shapes everyday relationships.
