In this fourth message from our series on the Gospel-Shaped Marriage & Family, Pastor Richard Peffer teaches from Ephesians 5:21 a vital truth: “be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.” True biblical submission is not weakness or oppression — it is a beautiful expression of Christlike humility and mutual honor that flows from our relationship with Jesus. Whether in marriage, family, or the church, God calls every believer to practice a Spirit-filled submission that ultimately honors Christ. This kind of submission is not natural to us — it is only possible through the transforming grace of the Gospel and the empowering work of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Sermon Series: Being Thankful In Every Situation In Part Two of this message, Pastor Richard Peffer shares four practical ways to cultivate thankfulness every day. Drawing from God’s Word, he shows that true gratitude is not based on our circumstances, but flows from a heart transformed by God’s grace. We learn how to fight pride and entitlement, practice contentment, and respond with thanksgiving even when we lose much — just as Matthew Henry did after being robbed. When grace cultivates a thankful heart, we discover that giving thanks becomes a joy, not a burden, because everything we have is from God.

In this third sermon from our series "The Gospel-Shaped Marriage & Family", Pastor Richard Peffer teaches on How Christ Loves His Bride & How You Are To Love Yours from Ephesians 5:28-30 God’s Word teaches us that agape love is not based on fleeting emotions, but a deliberate act of the will — choosing to love in obedience to Christ. Husbands are called to love their wives with this same sacrificial, unconditional love that Christ shows to His church. This kind of love is not natural to us; it is only possible through the transforming power of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit. In Ephesians 5:28-30, we see that Christ’s love doesn’t just save His bride — His love cares by nourishing and cherishing. When husbands love this way, it brings beauty, security, and Christ-like leadership into the home. Key Verses: Ephesians 5:28-30 📖 Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 2:19 - Agape Love Cares 10:45 - Nourish Your Wife 15:11 - Cherish Your Wife 25:26 - Conclusion This series shows how the Gospel of Jesus Christ transforms marriage, parenting, and family life according to God’s Word.
