This week we will focus on marriage from Ephesians 5:22-33. There is a major lesson this week that I am praying that you see. Marriage is so beyond us and is a bigger picture of something awesome. Let's investigate the text and see what we can learn.
Read Ephesians 5:22-33 and mark husband, wife, subject/submit, and love.
What do you learn about husbands and wives? What are their roles in the family? Make a list on what you learn about husbands and make a list on what you learn about wives.
Do you see any comparisons in this part of the text? (Look for the word as) Write down in your journal the comparisons.
Look up these words in the Greek using Blue Letter Bible: love & subject/submit. Write down everything you learn.
What did you learn this week from the text? What role does a husband have? What does his role show/display? What role does a wife have? What does her role show/display? Is there a bigger picture of marriage? Is there purpose above ourselves in marriage? (Yes, there is) What is the grander purpose? Why does our role in marriage matter?
I am so looking forward to sharing together what we learned from the Word this week! Can't wait to see you!

Return to Ephesians
Hey Ladies! Any onemissing Ephesians like I have been??? Well it's time for us to dive back in!!!
I encourage you to spend some time this week reacquainting yourself with Ephesians. I would suggest you read the entire book in one setting to reestablish context of the text.
Our study this week takes us to Ephesians 5:17-21. Before we look at those verses, I want you to re-read verses 15-16 (or the entire chapter). Intentionally look for the context of what is being said. What is Paul saying in these verses?? What is the context? Remember that chapters 1-3 are all about Jesus and the Gospel. Chapter 4 turns us to looking at how we live because of the Gospel.
Now let's look at verses 17-21. Read through the verses and look for two contrasts (we can usually find a contrast by looking for a word but). Write down in your journal the contrasts that you see.
What are believers to not do according to this passage? Make a list.
What are believers to do according to this passage? Make a list.
Look up these greek words using Blue Letter Bible: foolish, understand, dissipation, subject.
Look up these cross references and write down what you learn to help interpret this passage:
