BELOVED Family

Sunday, February 13, 2022 Sermon Notes: BELOVED Family   Ephesians 5:21-30 NIV <p>21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body.</p> <p> </p> Ephesians 6:1-4 NIV <p>1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” 4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.</p> <p> </p> Sermon Notes: BELOVED Family   To submit to one another in reverence to Christ… Means to surrender our natural love of power… So that we can share in the supernatural power of love… That’s ours in Christ through the Holy Spirit!   What does it look like for you to “be love”… In the various places and with the various people you find yourself?     Daily Scripture Readings Week of February 14-19 Beloved Family - Ephesians 5:21-6:4   Monday - Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Tuesday - Leviticus 19:9-18 Wednesday - Deuteronomy 22:1-3 Thursday - Matthew 7:12 Friday - James 2:8 Saturday - 1 Peter 4:8-11   Prayer for this week: Gracious and Loving Holy God, Open my eyes and my ears
