Sermons About Ephesians-5
Sex In The City
In response to the pervasive culture of sex in San Diego, the Bible calls you to understand that this culture is produced and fostered by lust and selfishness. The Bible also offers freedom by calling people to live in love and light. This life brings freedom to individual people and to the culture itself.

The Church and Love
Ephesians 5 describes the relationship of Jesus with His Church as like that between a husband and his bride. We see the nature of God's love for us in the sacrificial and sanctifying love that Jesus displays for His Church and we are drawn to emulate this in our relationship with the other members of His Church, our brothers and sisters in Christ - no matter how hard that might be for us on a human level.

Marriage
The call of God in marriage is for a man to love and sacrifice for his wife and a wife to submit to and respect her husband. These aren't mere commands to keep the divorce rate from growing. These are essentials for a family that will continue the Cultural Mandate to fill the earth and subdue it.

Reforming Sexuality Part 4: Women and Sex
Men, like women, are called to love their brides as Jesus loves us. Living out the gospel in marriage is not a divine suggestion, but a command reflecting how God saved us, forgiving us, loving us, dying for us, when we did not deserve it. Men are called to love women by sacrificing the self as Jesus humbled himself and love their brides in ways that they genuinely feel it and others see it.
