EPHESIANS – WEEK 14

THE MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE – PART 1

EPHESIANS 5:15-33

AUGUST 2, 2026

EPHESIANS 5:15-21 – Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

EPHESIANS 5:31 – Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

GENESIS 2:23-24 – Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

TWO MEs BECOME ONE WE

EPHESIANS 5:32 – This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
