Headship
A Great Mystery: Jesus, the church and marriage. Today we continue to engage with Paul’s words to the church at Ephesus on Jesus, the church and marriage. This week we will look at headship and next week submission. Following that we will close our series with the topic of sex. Today and next week we need to look at these two teachings in the light of the gospel of grace. Sin has had a destructive effect on headship and submission ruining their beautiful harmony. May the Holy Spirit guide and lead as we look at headship.

Love
A Great Mystery: Jesus, the church and marriage. It is God's desire for a marriage to be a "one flesh relationship". Last week we looked at Ephesians 4 and saw what it took to have an enduring marriage, one that perseveres through conflict, BUT a marriage without love makes no sense. Today we will look at love, the glue that joins and unites.

Obstacles to Oneness
A Great Mystery: Jesus, the church and marriage. It is God's desire for a marrriage to be a "one flesh" relationship. Two different people, male and female, from different backgrounds and homes "joined together" to be "one flesh". This is God's goal for the church as well. Reality is we live in a messy world. Life, the church and marriage is messy. Today we address some practical words from the apostle Paul to help us in this pursuit of oneness.

Oneness
A Great Mystery: Jesus, the church and marriage. Today we look at the mission of oneness. We live in a world full of brokeness. Through the one flesh relationship the world can get a glimpse of hope, a display of what God is like, and a bit of oneness on earth.

A Covenant Relationship
A Great Mystery: Jesus, the church and marriage. How would you define the marriage reltionship? The chasm between the world's definition and the Biblical definition is huge. This week we will look at God's relationship with us and how that is where the marriage relationship finds its definition.
