  • She taught me
  • 00:00:02.115 --> 00:00:03.083
  • The unbelievable dance called the two step.
  • 00:00:03.083 --> 00:00:08.054
  • And i got it down so fast.
  • 00:00:08.621 --> 00:00:10.723
  • I said, you know, i'm a natural dancer.
  • 00:00:10.723 --> 00:00:12.892
  • I got this straight like this fred astaire.
  • 00:00:12.892 --> 00:00:15.929
  • Look out, here i come.
  • 00:00:15.929 --> 00:00:18.531
  • But i went to that dance, and i didn't have a good time.
  • 00:00:18.531 --> 00:00:21.367
  • They made you dance with everybody.
  • 00:00:21.367 --> 00:00:22.869
  • And i think i injured
  • 00:00:22.869 --> 00:00:24.037
  • A couple of little girls in the process.
  • 00:00:24.037 --> 00:00:26.306
  • I'm telling you, the rhythm.
  • 00:00:26.306 --> 00:00:28.708
  • I forgot the rhythm.
  • 00:00:28.708 --> 00:00:29.776
  • Part of the two step.
  • 00:00:29.776 --> 00:00:32.445
  • But marriage is something like a dance.
  • 00:00:32.445 --> 00:00:36.549
  • Ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:00:36.549 --> 00:00:39.018
  • Hello, i'm ed young.
  • 00:00:39.018 --> 00:00:41.354
  • Strong marriages, healthy families.
  • 00:00:41.354 --> 00:00:44.791
  • Don't happen by accident.
  • 00:00:44.791 --> 00:00:47.060
  • They are built on faith, commitment and obedience
  • 00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:50.096
  • To god's word found in the bible.
  • 00:00:50.096 --> 00:00:52.565
  • The bible offers practical guidance
  • 00:00:52.565 --> 00:00:55.568
  • For loving one another, resolving conflicts,
  • 00:00:55.568 --> 00:00:59.172
  • And building homes that reflect christ.
  • 00:00:59.172 --> 00:01:02.242
  • As we study scripture today,
  • 00:01:02.242 --> 00:01:04.377
  • My prayer is that god will encourage you
  • 00:01:04.377 --> 00:01:08.014
  • And equip you to strengthen your marriage and family
  • 00:01:08.014 --> 00:01:12.051
  • Through his everlasting truth.
  • 00:01:12.051 --> 00:01:14.821
  • Worldly winning will, family
  • 00:01:15.421 --> 00:01:17.457
  • Biblical principles that we'll be looking at together
  • 00:01:17.457 --> 00:01:21.027
  • Will help your marriage to sing in a broken world.
  • 00:01:21.027 --> 00:01:24.998
  • You'll have wholeness and meaning.
  • 00:01:24.998 --> 00:01:27.333
  • And i can tell you some.
  • 00:01:27.333 --> 00:01:29.369
  • Every day we seek
  • 00:01:29.369 --> 00:01:31.371
  • To let the biblical principles operate in your marriage,
  • 00:01:31.371 --> 00:01:35.375
  • In my marriage and your life, and in my life.
  • 00:01:35.375 --> 00:01:38.111
  • I'll tell you, the winning world with jesus
  • 00:01:38.978 --> 00:01:41.347
  • Christ will come more real and more vibrant
  • 00:01:41.347 --> 00:01:45.218
  • And will have more fire to it
  • 00:01:45.218 --> 00:01:47.720
  • Than you can imagine.
  • 00:01:47.720 --> 00:01:49.589
  • Welcome to the winning walk family.
  • 00:01:49.589 --> 00:02:11.311
  • Today we're talking about marri
  • 00:02:11.945 --> 00:02:13.546
  • The foundation of marriage.
  • 00:02:13.546 --> 00:02:16.249
  • And i read in first corinthians chapter three
  • 00:02:16.249 --> 00:02:19.118
  • That paul is talking
  • 00:02:19.586 --> 00:02:20.653
  • About the foundation of the church at corinth.
  • 00:02:20.653 --> 00:02:23.790
  • And he says, i planted here
  • 00:02:24.390 --> 00:02:26.693
  • The words, paul planted the church.
  • 00:02:26.693 --> 00:02:28.228
  • He started the church.
  • 00:02:28.228 --> 00:02:29.929
  • He said, but i left.
  • 00:02:29.929 --> 00:02:31.197
  • And apollos came, and he watered the church.
  • 00:02:31.197 --> 00:02:34.200
  • He said, but god allowed the church to grow.
  • 00:02:35.101 --> 00:02:38.638
  • And so he was talking about
  • 00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:41.908
  • The church is like a garden.
  • 00:02:41.908 --> 00:02:44.877
  • Somebody plants, somebody waters, and it grows.
  • 00:02:44.877 --> 00:02:48.414
  • And there's a fruit, there's a productivity front.
  • 00:02:48.414 --> 00:02:52.018
  • There's always something to do with a garden.
  • 00:02:52.018 --> 00:02:54.020
  • Ladies and gentlemen, you have to tend to it
  • 00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:55.855
  • Almost every day or it gets out of hand.
  • 00:02:55.855 --> 00:02:58.524
  • It's not productive.
  • 00:02:58.524 --> 00:02:59.559
  • It doesn't work.
  • 00:02:59.559 --> 00:03:01.494
  • That's the way it is in marriage.
  • 00:03:01.494 --> 00:03:03.730
  • So i thought to
  • 00:03:04.097 --> 00:03:04.764
  • Myself, i would take
  • 00:03:04.764 --> 00:03:06.266
  • And i would compare marriage to a garden.
  • 00:03:06.266 --> 00:03:08.601
  • And it is a good comparison because we have to make sure
  • 00:03:08.601 --> 00:03:12.672
  • The seeds are planted, make sure there's water,
  • 00:03:12.672 --> 00:03:15.408
  • Make sure there's nourishment there for it
  • 00:03:15.408 --> 00:03:18.177
  • To grow and produce.
  • 00:03:18.177 --> 00:03:19.445
  • And this is a picture of marriage.
  • 00:03:19.445 --> 00:03:22.315
  • But i decided, no,
  • 00:03:22.315 --> 00:03:24.384
  • There's a better picture of marriage than that.
  • 00:03:24.384 --> 00:03:27.654
  • I decided the best picture
  • 00:03:27.654 --> 00:03:29.122
  • About marriage is a dance.
  • 00:03:29.122 --> 00:03:31.891
  • And this really fits perfectly.
  • 00:03:32.525 --> 00:03:34.260
  • The scripture we're going to look at.
  • 00:03:34.260 --> 00:03:35.928
  • Marriage is like a dance.
  • 00:03:35.928 --> 00:03:39.065
  • And i wish i could stand here and tell you
  • 00:03:39.065 --> 00:03:41.067
  • I know a lot about dancing, and i do not.
  • 00:03:41.067 --> 00:03:46.005
  • My first girlfriend was named.
  • 00:03:46.606 --> 00:03:49.442
  • What was her name?
  • 00:03:49.442 --> 00:03:52.278
  • Dolores overstreet.
  • 00:03:52.745 --> 00:03:55.848
  • She broke up with me mid-point of the second grade.
  • 00:03:55.848 --> 00:04:01.688
  • She never knew she
  • 00:04:02.121 --> 00:04:03.156
  • Was my girlfriend, so i kind of like.
  • 00:04:03.156 --> 00:04:06.426
  • We never dance.
  • 00:04:06.793 --> 00:04:09.262
  • But when i was, i guess, early junior high,
  • 00:04:09.262 --> 00:04:12.131
  • Somebody had a birthday party
  • 00:04:12.131 --> 00:04:14.834
  • And they had the ywca, and they said
  • 00:04:14.834 --> 00:04:18.271
  • We were going to dance.
  • 00:04:18.271 --> 00:04:20.707
  • I said, dance.
  • 00:04:20.707 --> 00:04:22.275
  • Why would anybody want to dance?
  • 00:04:22.275 --> 00:04:25.211
  • But i decided i'd better learn.
  • 00:04:25.211 --> 00:04:26.846
  • So i went across the street,
  • 00:04:26.846 --> 00:04:28.781
  • A girl there, my same age, carolyn touchstone.
  • 00:04:28.781 --> 00:04:31.250
  • I mean, she was a dancer.
  • 00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:32.652
  • I knew that all of her life.
  • 00:04:32.652 --> 00:04:34.053
  • She danced all the time.
  • 00:04:34.053 --> 00:04:35.455
  • I said, carolyn,
  • 00:04:35.455 --> 00:04:36.456
  • I'm going to this dance, teach me how to dance.
  • 00:04:36.456 --> 00:04:38.358
  • She said, oh, i can teach you in a minute.
  • 00:04:38.358 --> 00:04:40.860
  • And she taught me the most complex, confusing, multi-step.
  • 00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:45.531
  • I mean, it was a tough thing.
  • 00:04:45.531 --> 00:04:46.999
  • Today
  • 00:04:46.999 --> 00:04:48.167
  • She taught me the unbelievable dance called the two step.
  • 00:04:48.167 --> 00:04:53.339
  • And i got it down so fast.
  • 00:04:53.906 --> 00:04:56.008
  • I said, you know, i'm a natural dancer.
  • 00:04:56.008 --> 00:04:58.177
  • I got this straight like this fred astaire.
  • 00:04:58.177 --> 00:05:01.214
  • Look out, here i come.
  • 00:05:01.214 --> 00:05:03.816
  • But i went to that dance, and i didn't have a good time.
  • 00:05:03.816 --> 00:05:06.652
  • They made you dance with everybody.
  • 00:05:06.652 --> 00:05:08.154
  • And i think i injured
  • 00:05:08.154 --> 00:05:09.322
  • A couple of little girls in the process.
  • 00:05:09.322 --> 00:05:11.591
  • I'm telling you, the rhythm.
  • 00:05:11.591 --> 00:05:13.993
  • I forgot the rhythm.
  • 00:05:13.993 --> 00:05:15.061
  • Part of the two step.
  • 00:05:15.061 --> 00:05:17.730
  • But marriage is something like a dance.
  • 00:05:17.730 --> 00:05:21.834
  • Ladies and gentlemen, it's.
  • 00:05:21.834 --> 00:05:24.537
  • It's coordinated.
  • 00:05:24.537 --> 00:05:25.838
  • It is ready and dancing.
  • 00:05:25.838 --> 00:05:29.075
  • You have to have strength.
  • 00:05:29.075 --> 00:05:33.246
  • You have to have balance.
  • 00:05:33.813 --> 00:05:36.682
  • You have to have rhythm.
  • 00:05:36.682 --> 00:05:39.252
  • You have to have tenderness.
  • 00:05:39.252 --> 00:05:42.522
  • Dancing is a very, very
  • 00:05:43.022 --> 00:05:46.025
  • Tremendous thing.
  • 00:05:46.025 --> 00:05:48.494
  • It's a difficult thing when you get in
  • 00:05:48.494 --> 00:05:50.963
  • All the complexities of it.
  • 00:05:50.963 --> 00:05:52.565
  • I know that much about it.
  • 00:05:52.565 --> 00:05:55.067
  • I watch for joe beth most of the olympics.
  • 00:05:55.935 --> 00:05:59.172
  • We just got through the summer
  • 00:05:59.172 --> 00:06:00.773
  • Olympics and she sat there and tolerated with me.
  • 00:06:00.773 --> 00:06:04.343
  • I went from the 3 or 4 olympic channels
  • 00:06:04.343 --> 00:06:06.913
  • Trying to find the one i wanted to watch.
  • 00:06:06.913 --> 00:06:09.982
  • But what joe beth loves
  • 00:06:10.483 --> 00:06:11.951
  • Is the winter olympics,
  • 00:06:11.951 --> 00:06:14.720
  • And she loves more than anything else something called
  • 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.623
  • Mixed paired ice skating.
  • 00:06:17.623 --> 00:06:19.258
  • You know,
  • 00:06:19.258 --> 00:06:20.726
  • A man and a woman, and they skate.
  • 00:06:20.726 --> 00:06:25.398
  • I can't stand it.
  • 00:06:25.832 --> 00:06:28.901
  • I mean, for years, i'd say,
  • 00:06:28.901 --> 00:06:30.837
  • Oh, haley.
  • 00:06:30.837 --> 00:06:33.806
  • Come on.
  • 00:06:33.806 --> 00:06:34.874
  • Oh, my goodness, what in the world are watching?
  • 00:06:34.874 --> 00:06:38.344
  • There may be a game on or something,
  • 00:06:38.344 --> 00:06:42.014
  • You know, something really poor, like cage fighting.
  • 00:06:42.014 --> 00:06:44.784
  • I'm gonna watching.
  • 00:06:44.784 --> 00:06:47.687
  • But, you know, i'm want to confess to you.
  • 00:06:48.554 --> 00:06:50.857
  • I'd be flipping through and she said, wait, wait,
  • 00:06:50.857 --> 00:06:52.992
  • I don't know.
  • 00:06:52.992 --> 00:06:53.826
  • And i probably didn't read go back.
  • 00:06:53.826 --> 00:06:56.229
  • But you know, through the years,
  • 00:06:56.229 --> 00:06:57.463
  • I have to confess, i've watched so much of that.
  • 00:06:57.463 --> 00:07:03.636
  • I've grown to appreciate it.
  • 00:07:04.237 --> 00:07:05.605
  • Like it. i really have.
  • 00:07:05.605 --> 00:07:08.407
  • And the choreographer puts everything out.
  • 00:07:08.407 --> 00:07:11.611
  • Every move they make, every step, every turn,
  • 00:07:11.611 --> 00:07:15.414
  • Every flick of the ice with their skates, every hand,
  • 00:07:15.414 --> 00:07:18.718
  • Everything is all choreographer.
  • 00:07:18.718 --> 00:07:21.053
  • So they're worked together in unity and in harmony.
  • 00:07:21.053 --> 00:07:24.690
  • But a lot of us don't even know that we have
  • 00:07:25.591 --> 00:07:27.693
  • A choreographer for marriage.
  • 00:07:27.693 --> 00:07:30.630
  • We're just getting married and lots of luck.
  • 00:07:30.630 --> 00:07:35.134
  • The reason it's
  • 00:07:35.501 --> 00:07:36.536
  • So important for us not to be unequally yoked.
  • 00:07:36.536 --> 00:07:39.238
  • A biblical king james term
  • 00:07:39.238 --> 00:07:41.674
  • Is that the man and the woman, the husband, the wife
  • 00:07:41.674 --> 00:07:44.176
  • Need to be on the same page.
  • 00:07:44.176 --> 00:07:45.811
  • How in the world can there be a dance
  • 00:07:45.811 --> 00:07:48.080
  • If one dancer isn't coordinated with the other dancer?
  • 00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:51.284
  • And they not according to the
  • 00:07:51.284 --> 00:07:52.919
  • The movement, the flow, the markings of the choreographer,
  • 00:07:52.919 --> 00:07:55.788
  • It can't happen.
  • 00:07:55.788 --> 00:07:56.822
  • They'll end up flat on their seats.
  • 00:07:56.822 --> 00:07:59.191
  • This happens in marriages.
  • 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.061
  • So i want to bring everybody up to speed
  • 00:08:02.061 --> 00:08:05.631
  • As to what the choreographer would have us to do
  • 00:08:05.631 --> 00:08:08.234
  • As far as dancing together in a marriage.
  • 00:08:08.234 --> 00:08:11.337
  • That really seems that really grows,
  • 00:08:11.337 --> 00:08:14.774
  • That really continues to be alive,
  • 00:08:14.774 --> 00:08:18.511
  • Is found in the very familiar chapter of ephesians, chapter
  • 00:08:18.511 --> 00:08:22.515
  • Five, verse 15, therefore
  • 00:08:22.515 --> 00:08:26.085
  • Said paul, be careful how you walk,
  • 00:08:26.085 --> 00:08:29.589
  • Not as unwise men and women, but as wives.
  • 00:08:30.489 --> 00:08:34.026
  • Or we said, use good sense.
  • 00:08:34.026 --> 00:08:38.331
  • I'm not going to fast for anybody.
  • 00:08:38.331 --> 00:08:39.966
  • I'm.
  • 00:08:39.966 --> 00:08:43.002
  • So then do not be foolish fools,
  • 00:08:43.002 --> 00:08:46.505
  • But understand what the will of the lord is.
  • 00:08:46.505 --> 00:08:49.709
  • God's will. god's plan.
  • 00:08:49.709 --> 00:08:51.611
  • God's purpose is always a plus in any way you look at it.
  • 00:08:51.611 --> 00:08:56.349
  • Understand that he wants what's best for us.
  • 00:08:56.349 --> 00:09:00.086
  • And then he
  • 00:09:00.419 --> 00:09:01.354
  • Says, and do not get drunk with wine, for
  • 00:09:01.354 --> 00:09:03.756
  • That is dissipation, but be filled with the spirit.
  • 00:09:03.756 --> 00:09:09.395
  • Be filled with the holy spirit, and the word be filled.
  • 00:09:09.395 --> 00:09:14.100
  • There means, let the holy spirit control you.
  • 00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:18.371
  • Now you're going to discover in just a minute
  • 00:09:19.305 --> 00:09:22.508
  • That the holy spirit is the choreographer of your marriage.
  • 00:09:22.508 --> 00:09:27.113
  • But we can't get there too fast.
  • 00:09:27.113 --> 00:09:29.649
  • Okay,
  • 00:09:29.649 --> 00:09:31.384
  • So we are to be controlled by the holy spirit.
  • 00:09:31.384 --> 00:09:35.554
  • We're in christ.
  • 00:09:35.554 --> 00:09:36.555
  • The holy spirit controls us.
  • 00:09:36.555 --> 00:09:38.591
  • Then paul gives us for characteristic to see.
  • 00:09:38.591 --> 00:09:42.228
  • Am i controlled by the holy spirit?
  • 00:09:42.228 --> 00:09:44.397
  • Are you?
  • 00:09:44.397 --> 00:09:45.164
  • Christ is in me.
  • 00:09:45.164 --> 00:09:46.132
  • Crisis in you?
  • 00:09:46.132 --> 00:09:47.199
  • Is the holy spirit running my life?
  • 00:09:47.199 --> 00:09:48.968
  • Running your life?
  • 00:09:48.968 --> 00:09:49.935
  • Paul says you can tell there be speaking.
  • 00:09:49.935 --> 00:09:52.705
  • You speak to one another.
  • 00:09:52.705 --> 00:09:54.674
  • My good.
  • 00:09:54.674 --> 00:09:55.741
  • I see somebody and say hello for them to respond.
  • 00:09:55.741 --> 00:09:57.777
  • You think i've pulled three teeth, i mean hello? hey.
  • 00:09:57.777 --> 00:10:01.747
  • Okay. it's good to speak.
  • 00:10:01.747 --> 00:10:03.149
  • We're speaking.
  • 00:10:03.149 --> 00:10:03.816
  • We're gregarious.
  • 00:10:03.816 --> 00:10:04.817
  • We speak, we sing.
  • 00:10:04.817 --> 00:10:07.019
  • We may not sing orally, but we sing in our hearts.
  • 00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:09.922
  • We sing in our showers.
  • 00:10:09.922 --> 00:10:11.957
  • Man, i love to get in the mornings.
  • 00:10:11.957 --> 00:10:13.325
  • And this is the day.
  • 00:10:13.325 --> 00:10:14.860
  • This is the day that the lord.
  • 00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:17.129
  • I mean, it's all right to sing.
  • 00:10:17.129 --> 00:10:18.698
  • Folk make a joyful noise i don't sing.
  • 00:10:18.698 --> 00:10:20.966
  • Yes you do.
  • 00:10:20.966 --> 00:10:22.234
  • Everybody can sing something.
  • 00:10:22.234 --> 00:10:23.969
  • We speak, we sing.
  • 00:10:23.969 --> 00:10:25.371
  • There's a song within us.
  • 00:10:25.371 --> 00:10:27.473
  • We speak, we sang.
  • 00:10:27.473 --> 00:10:28.474
  • We're thankful. we, we're thankful. people.
  • 00:10:28.474 --> 00:10:31.010
  • What are the real marks? someone is a christian.
  • 00:10:31.010 --> 00:10:32.945
  • There's a spirit of thanksgiving.
  • 00:10:32.945 --> 00:10:35.614
  • Thanksgiving.
  • 00:10:35.614 --> 00:10:36.849
  • And then the third mark is submission.
  • 00:10:36.849 --> 00:10:40.119
  • And this 22nd verse is a key to everything that goes life.
  • 00:10:40.119 --> 00:10:44.523
  • Listen to this and be subject.
  • 00:10:44.523 --> 00:10:47.426
  • Submit to one another as in the fear of christ.
  • 00:10:47.426 --> 00:10:53.165
  • Be subject.
  • 00:10:53.499 --> 00:10:54.867
  • It says men be subject to women.
  • 00:10:54.867 --> 00:10:57.636
  • Women be subject to men.
  • 00:10:57.636 --> 00:11:00.139
  • It says in the marriage relationship, that's
  • 00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:02.942
  • How it operates.
  • 00:11:02.942 --> 00:11:04.543
  • And then the word here has who?
  • 00:11:04.543 --> 00:11:07.980
  • Paul tasso.
  • 00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:08.914
  • It means to position yourself under
  • 00:11:08.914 --> 00:11:12.084
  • And position yourself under in order of rank.
  • 00:11:12.084 --> 00:11:16.021
  • In other words, in marriage a man is to position himself
  • 00:11:16.021 --> 00:11:19.558
  • Under his wife.
  • 00:11:19.558 --> 00:11:20.726
  • In marriage,
  • 00:11:20.726 --> 00:11:21.794
  • The wife is to position yourself under the husband
  • 00:11:21.794 --> 00:11:24.597
  • And children.
  • 00:11:24.597 --> 00:11:25.798
  • Their children are to position himself under their parents,
  • 00:11:25.798 --> 00:11:28.067
  • And the parents are to position himself under their children.
  • 00:11:28.067 --> 00:11:31.937
  • In other words, he's talking about at something radical
  • 00:11:31.937 --> 00:11:34.940
  • And something that's brand new on the horizon in that day
  • 00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:38.544
  • And still misunderstood today.
  • 00:11:38.544 --> 00:11:40.946
  • The way to live a successful christian life is in a
  • 00:11:40.946 --> 00:11:45.217
  • Is in the position of being surrendered
  • 00:11:45.217 --> 00:11:47.887
  • And being and subject to and being under the authority of.
  • 00:11:47.887 --> 00:11:53.058
  • So it's mutual submission.
  • 00:11:53.626 --> 00:11:56.996
  • And then paul says, let me tell you,
  • 00:11:56.996 --> 00:12:00.399
  • If you want to have a magnificent marriage,
  • 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.469
  • You've got to be under the instruction
  • 00:12:04.236 --> 00:12:06.705
  • Of a divine choreographer.
  • 00:12:06.705 --> 00:12:09.809
  • And that's the holy spirit.
  • 00:12:09.809 --> 00:12:12.077
  • And then he tells us how this divine choreographer
  • 00:12:12.077 --> 00:12:16.115
  • Has planned for the wife to conduct herself
  • 00:12:16.115 --> 00:12:20.452
  • Principles by which he is to live.
  • 00:12:21.187 --> 00:12:23.122
  • Why, if the marriage is to soar, if it is to sail,
  • 00:12:23.122 --> 00:12:28.761
  • If it is to be like a well
  • 00:12:28.761 --> 00:12:31.931
  • Coordinated dance with balance,
  • 00:12:31.931 --> 00:12:36.335
  • With rhythm, with strength
  • 00:12:36.902 --> 00:12:40.306
  • And with timing,
  • 00:12:40.706 --> 00:12:44.310
  • Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect.
  • 00:12:44.310 --> 00:12:47.713
  • There are moments filled with uncertainty.
  • 00:12:47.713 --> 00:12:50.716
  • Challenges that test our strength.
  • 00:12:50.716 --> 00:12:52.985
  • And days
  • 00:12:52.985 --> 00:12:54.186
  • When encouragement feels hard to find in those moments.
  • 00:12:54.186 --> 00:12:57.590
  • What if you had something solid to stand on?
  • 00:12:57.590 --> 00:13:00.092

  • At a time.
  • 00:13:43.469 --> 00:13:48.474
  • Look the instructions we have for the wife.
  • 00:13:49.408 --> 00:13:52.645
  • Oh, some of you women are going to be upset
  • 00:13:52.645 --> 00:13:55.581
  • For about five minutes.
  • 00:13:55.581 --> 00:13:58.250
  • Wives
  • 00:13:58.484 --> 00:14:00.452
  • Be subject.
  • 00:14:00.452 --> 00:14:02.021
  • Submit to your own husbands as to the lord,
  • 00:14:02.021 --> 00:14:05.357
  • For the husband is ahead of the wife.
  • 00:14:05.357 --> 00:14:07.126
  • Is christ also as head of the church,
  • 00:14:07.126 --> 00:14:09.828
  • He himself being the savior of the body,
  • 00:14:09.828 --> 00:14:13.065
  • But as a church is subject to christ, so also the wives
  • 00:14:13.065 --> 00:14:16.936
  • Automated their own husbands and everything.
  • 00:14:16.936 --> 00:14:19.371
  • What's he saying?
  • 00:14:19.371 --> 00:14:21.040
  • And by the way, go to the last verse of this section.
  • 00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:24.410
  • It says another word for the wives.
  • 00:14:24.410 --> 00:14:26.145
  • It says the wife must see to it
  • 00:14:26.145 --> 00:14:27.846
  • That she respects her husband.
  • 00:14:27.846 --> 00:14:30.883
  • So the divine choreographer,
  • 00:14:30.883 --> 00:14:33.018
  • The holy spirit says to wives, gives clear instruction,
  • 00:14:33.018 --> 00:14:37.289
  • Revolves around two basic words
  • 00:14:37.289 --> 00:14:40.960
  • Submit
  • 00:14:41.160 --> 00:14:43.362
  • And respect.
  • 00:14:43.362 --> 00:14:46.231
  • Wives are do submit to their husbands,
  • 00:14:46.231 --> 00:14:49.001
  • And they are to respect their husbands.
  • 00:14:49.001 --> 00:14:52.604
  • Wives, let me tell you, your role.
  • 00:14:52.604 --> 00:14:56.041
  • The divine choreographer choreographer has given you
  • 00:14:56.041 --> 00:14:59.144
  • A miracle role is you to play the role of jesus.
  • 00:14:59.144 --> 00:15:03.248
  • Any female herod, upset by being given
  • 00:15:04.016 --> 00:15:06.185
  • The assignment of being like jesus in your marriage?
  • 00:15:06.185 --> 00:15:08.887
  • Does that upset any wife here, any woman here?
  • 00:15:08.887 --> 00:15:11.090
  • It shouldn't.
  • 00:15:11.090 --> 00:15:12.358
  • And that's the assignment.
  • 00:15:12.358 --> 00:15:15.060
  • Did you listen carefully?
  • 00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:16.161
  • Scripture.
  • 00:15:16.161 --> 00:15:17.529
  • You've got god the father, god the son, god the holy spirit.
  • 00:15:17.529 --> 00:15:20.833
  • They're are co-equal.
  • 00:15:20.833 --> 00:15:22.134
  • One is not superior to the other.
  • 00:15:22.134 --> 00:15:24.503
  • One praises.
  • 00:15:24.503 --> 00:15:25.571
  • And this is that wonderful dance, that wonderful
  • 00:15:25.571 --> 00:15:28.340
  • Dance, the trinity.
  • 00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:29.608
  • And by the way,
  • 00:15:29.608 --> 00:15:30.743
  • You read in the last verse of this chapter, it says,
  • 00:15:30.743 --> 00:15:34.013
  • Marriage is a great mystery, and it certainly is, isn't it?
  • 00:15:34.013 --> 00:15:38.550
  • As is the relationship of christ to the church.
  • 00:15:38.550 --> 00:15:40.886
  • It is a mystery.
  • 00:15:40.886 --> 00:15:43.489
  • So you see, the divine dance there, father, son,
  • 00:15:43.489 --> 00:15:46.859
  • Holy spirit, now watch this.
  • 00:15:46.859 --> 00:15:48.927
  • When jesus was on this earth,
  • 00:15:49.561 --> 00:15:52.598
  • What was his relationship with the father?
  • 00:15:52.598 --> 00:15:54.733
  • It was one of submission
  • 00:15:54.733 --> 00:15:57.002
  • Because he had a ministry on this earth.
  • 00:15:57.002 --> 00:15:59.271
  • What did jesus seek?
  • 00:15:59.271 --> 00:16:00.606
  • The will of the father
  • 00:16:00.606 --> 00:16:02.841
  • And therefore it is the will of the father
  • 00:16:02.841 --> 00:16:05.411
  • And that particular manifestation
  • 00:16:05.411 --> 00:16:08.480
  • Of himself on earth that jesus carried out.
  • 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.417
  • Jesus was so concerned about what being step
  • 00:16:11.417 --> 00:16:15.254
  • With his father, not my will, but thy will be done.
  • 00:16:15.254 --> 00:16:18.157
  • He was on a mission.
  • 00:16:18.157 --> 00:16:19.324
  • That was his role.
  • 00:16:19.324 --> 00:16:20.759
  • Does it mean that jesus was inferior to the father?
  • 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.096
  • Absolutely not.
  • 00:16:24.096 --> 00:16:25.397
  • That was just his role.
  • 00:16:25.397 --> 00:16:27.466
  • Philippians two let this man be in you,
  • 00:16:27.466 --> 00:16:30.469
  • Which was also in christ jesus, who, being in the form of god
  • 00:16:30.469 --> 00:16:34.406
  • Made, should have no reputation,
  • 00:16:35.140 --> 00:16:36.875
  • Took upon him the form of a servant.
  • 00:16:36.875 --> 00:16:39.778
  • Humble himself
  • 00:16:39.778 --> 00:16:40.913
  • Was obedient under the cross, which was god's will.
  • 00:16:40.913 --> 00:16:44.550
  • Therefore, god has highly exalted him.
  • 00:16:44.550 --> 00:16:47.086
  • You see what i'm saying?
  • 00:16:47.086 --> 00:16:48.320
  • The wife in this
  • 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.022
  • Divine manifestation of purpose in marriage,
  • 00:16:50.923 --> 00:16:54.426
  • In the dance of marriage, is to be jesus in the sense of
  • 00:16:54.426 --> 00:16:58.097
  • Being submissive to the husband who plays the role
  • 00:16:58.097 --> 00:17:01.166
  • Of the father, who has that responsible role there,
  • 00:17:01.166 --> 00:17:04.736
  • The leadership role there.
  • 00:17:04.736 --> 00:17:08.841
  • The greatest thing
  • 00:17:09.274 --> 00:17:10.242
  • America needs in the family is for the man
  • 00:17:10.242 --> 00:17:15.047
  • To become spiritual leaders in the home period.
  • 00:17:15.047 --> 00:17:18.984
  • Selah. now.
  • 00:17:18.984 --> 00:17:23.555
  • Let me do some meddling.
  • 00:17:24.089 --> 00:17:30.129
  • By asking
  • 00:17:30.429 --> 00:17:32.297
  • A few question about leadership in your family.
  • 00:17:32.297 --> 00:17:38.670
  • Who handles
  • 00:17:39.004 --> 00:17:39.872
  • The money in your home?
  • 00:17:39.872 --> 00:17:43.542
  • Does it mean who writes the checks?
  • 00:17:44.276 --> 00:17:46.778
  • But who makes the big financial decision?
  • 00:17:46.778 --> 00:17:48.981
  • Your home?
  • 00:17:48.981 --> 00:17:50.149
  • First question,
  • 00:17:50.149 --> 00:17:52.284
  • Same question.
  • 00:17:52.284 --> 00:17:54.486
  • The father and mother of present.
  • 00:17:54.486 --> 00:17:57.556
  • Both are there.
  • 00:17:57.923 --> 00:17:58.690
  • Who determines the children?
  • 00:17:58.690 --> 00:18:01.927
  • Hello.
  • 00:18:02.127 --> 00:18:05.497
  • Third question.
  • 00:18:05.864 --> 00:18:07.733
  • Who makes plans in advance
  • 00:18:07.733 --> 00:18:10.435
  • For the family and thinks ahead about what you could do?
  • 00:18:10.435 --> 00:18:13.972
  • A washer.
  • 00:18:13.972 --> 00:18:15.107
  • Who does that kind of advance planning in the home?
  • 00:18:15.107 --> 00:18:17.476
  • Who is that?
  • 00:18:17.809 --> 00:18:20.979
  • You've got a problem in the home in the marriage?
  • 00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:24.283
  • Who asked?
  • 00:18:24.283 --> 00:18:24.983
  • Those big bottom line questions
  • 00:18:24.983 --> 00:18:27.853
  • Who does that
  • 00:18:27.853 --> 00:18:30.289
  • Answer?
  • 00:18:30.289 --> 00:18:31.456
  • Those three four questions and you've found the person
  • 00:18:31.456 --> 00:18:33.825
  • Who is the leader in the home.
  • 00:18:33.825 --> 00:18:36.962
  • And the problem is,
  • 00:18:37.429 --> 00:18:38.330
  • So many husbands are passive.
  • 00:18:38.330 --> 00:18:41.800
  • Passive.
  • 00:18:42.067 --> 00:18:43.035
  • Being passive is a deadly thing to any family.
  • 00:18:43.035 --> 00:18:45.904
  • For a male to be involved in.
  • 00:18:45.904 --> 00:18:48.473
  • There's a book written years ago.
  • 00:18:48.473 --> 00:18:50.475
  • It's about hollywood couples, hollywood families.
  • 00:18:50.475 --> 00:18:53.712
  • It's it's a frightening book.
  • 00:18:54.346 --> 00:18:56.048
  • It's the title is passive fathers.
  • 00:18:56.048 --> 00:18:58.317
  • And while wives.
  • 00:18:58.317 --> 00:19:02.554
  • And the passive fathers
  • 00:19:03.055 --> 00:19:04.856
  • You have in hollywood,
  • 00:19:04.856 --> 00:19:06.024
  • So many of the producers and directors and the attorneys
  • 00:19:06.024 --> 00:19:08.961
  • And all the people involved in multi multimillion
  • 00:19:08.961 --> 00:19:13.098
  • Dollar businesses, and they work all day and all
  • 00:19:13.098 --> 00:19:15.801
  • Night when they come home,
  • 00:19:15.801 --> 00:19:18.470
  • They tell their wife, you take care of the kids,
  • 00:19:18.470 --> 00:19:20.305
  • You run everything, here's the money. you do it.
  • 00:19:20.305 --> 00:19:22.307
  • And they're they're absentee in their family
  • 00:19:22.307 --> 00:19:24.710
  • And it drives their wives crazy
  • 00:19:24.710 --> 00:19:28.280
  • Because there's not a man there who assumes any semblance
  • 00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:32.017
  • Of leadership, let alone responsibility,
  • 00:19:32.017 --> 00:19:35.254
  • Who messed up in the garden of eden.
  • 00:19:36.021 --> 00:19:37.823
  • By the way, do you remember that it was eve
  • 00:19:37.823 --> 00:19:40.859
  • Before she looked at that fruit?
  • 00:19:40.859 --> 00:19:42.761
  • It looks delicious. oh, god said i should need it.
  • 00:19:42.761 --> 00:19:45.297
  • Oh, the snake, said, boy, it's
  • 00:19:45.297 --> 00:19:46.531
  • The best thing you've ever put in. you have.
  • 00:19:46.531 --> 00:19:48.233
  • You haven't had that fruit. you haven't.
  • 00:19:48.233 --> 00:19:49.534
  • And you're you're really no life.
  • 00:19:49.534 --> 00:19:51.136
  • You eat that fruit.
  • 00:19:51.136 --> 00:19:52.004
  • And eve added to oh, it is delicious.
  • 00:19:52.004 --> 00:19:54.006
  • Adam, come and try this. you never had it.
  • 00:19:54.006 --> 00:19:56.241
  • Who mashed up eve?
  • 00:19:56.241 --> 00:19:57.743
  • Who gets to blame? adam?
  • 00:19:57.743 --> 00:20:01.613
  • Right.
  • 00:20:01.813 --> 00:20:04.583
  • You don't say boy. eve.
  • 00:20:04.583 --> 00:20:05.917
  • We know it's adam. why?
  • 00:20:05.917 --> 00:20:08.287
  • He had a responsibility in the home, and he abdicated
  • 00:20:08.287 --> 00:20:11.790
  • His position of leadership.
  • 00:20:11.790 --> 00:20:14.726
  • So lives submissive.
  • 00:20:14.726 --> 00:20:16.762
  • And the other word is to respect.
  • 00:20:16.762 --> 00:20:19.298
  • And then we see the divine choreographer
  • 00:20:19.298 --> 00:20:22.367
  • Gives us assignment for the man.
  • 00:20:22.367 --> 00:20:24.202
  • And look at the next verses.
  • 00:20:24.202 --> 00:20:26.271
  • He said, husbands, love your wives,
  • 00:20:26.271 --> 00:20:28.340
  • As just as christ also loved the church
  • 00:20:28.340 --> 00:20:31.176
  • And gave himself up for sacrifice,
  • 00:20:31.176 --> 00:20:34.212
  • So that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her
  • 00:20:34.212 --> 00:20:37.749
  • By the washing of water with the word,
  • 00:20:37.749 --> 00:20:40.185
  • That he might present himself to church in all her glory,
  • 00:20:40.185 --> 00:20:43.689
  • Having no spot, no wrinkle, or any such thing,
  • 00:20:43.689 --> 00:20:46.491
  • But that she would be holy and blameless.
  • 00:20:46.491 --> 00:20:50.595
  • So husbands are also to love their own lives,
  • 00:20:50.595 --> 00:20:54.066
  • As they love their own bodies,
  • 00:20:54.066 --> 00:20:56.001
  • Because who loves his own wife, loves himself.
  • 00:20:56.001 --> 00:20:59.771
  • It's important we understand that
  • 00:21:00.472 --> 00:21:03.008
  • Husbands, what is our role?
  • 00:21:03.008 --> 00:21:04.676
  • The wife revolves around two words mean what they were.
  • 00:21:04.676 --> 00:21:08.313
  • Have you forgotten?
  • 00:21:08.313 --> 00:21:09.381
  • Submit in the sense we're talking about a jesus
  • 00:21:09.381 --> 00:21:13.185
  • Submitted to the father and what about the husbands?
  • 00:21:13.185 --> 00:21:16.855
  • Submit in respect the wives.
  • 00:21:16.855 --> 00:21:18.423
  • The husband is to love and to sacrifice man.
  • 00:21:18.423 --> 00:21:23.061
  • How easy it is for
  • 00:21:23.061 --> 00:21:24.363
  • Somebody to someone who's laying down their life for you.
  • 00:21:24.363 --> 00:21:28.333
  • Incidentally, there's a secular survey i bumped into.
  • 00:21:28.333 --> 00:21:32.504
  • They surveyed 7000 couples who were having trouble
  • 00:21:32.504 --> 00:21:36.375
  • In their marriage, and they asked the wives,
  • 00:21:36.375 --> 00:21:39.811
  • What is it you want from your husband?
  • 00:21:39.811 --> 00:21:42.848
  • And the wives answer.
  • 00:21:43.348 --> 00:21:44.449
  • 83% of the 7000 is 83% of the wives answered.
  • 00:21:44.449 --> 00:21:48.453
  • I want my husband to love me
  • 00:21:48.453 --> 00:21:51.857
  • And ask her husband, what is it you want for your wife?
  • 00:21:51.857 --> 00:21:55.360
  • 61% i want my wife to respect me.
  • 00:21:55.360 --> 00:21:59.431
  • This is what the bible teaches.
  • 00:22:00.065 --> 00:22:01.833
  • Isn't it amazing
  • 00:22:01.833 --> 00:22:02.834
  • How the secular world catches up with us?
  • 00:22:02.834 --> 00:22:04.803
  • They think they found some great truth.
  • 00:22:04.803 --> 00:22:06.772
  • There it is.
  • 00:22:06.772 --> 00:22:08.440
  • Husbands, love your wives.
  • 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:10.142
  • That's what they need.
  • 00:22:10.142 --> 00:22:11.643
  • Wives respect her husbands.
  • 00:22:11.643 --> 00:22:13.478
  • That's what they need.
  • 00:22:13.478 --> 00:22:15.881
  • And then we go on here and he says exactly
  • 00:22:15.881 --> 00:22:20.051
  • How the husband is to deal with the wife.
  • 00:22:20.051 --> 00:22:23.555
  • The role of the husband, the wife.
  • 00:22:23.555 --> 00:22:25.157
  • You know what it is?
  • 00:22:25.157 --> 00:22:26.525
  • It's the same role.
  • 00:22:26.525 --> 00:22:28.393
  • Read it
  • 00:22:28.393 --> 00:22:30.162
  • That christ has.
  • 00:22:30.162 --> 00:22:32.164
  • Remember, the church is the bride of christ.
  • 00:22:32.164 --> 00:22:34.433
  • We're all the bride of christ.
  • 00:22:34.433 --> 00:22:36.601
  • And it says he will come back and he will take his bride,
  • 00:22:36.601 --> 00:22:39.938
  • That you and me who are in christ,
  • 00:22:39.938 --> 00:22:41.873
  • He'll present us to the father, and he'll say,
  • 00:22:41.873 --> 00:22:44.976
  • Look at the church, look at the bride.
  • 00:22:44.976 --> 00:22:47.913
  • And he looks at us.
  • 00:22:47.913 --> 00:22:48.914
  • Hopefully we're clean and washed and alive
  • 00:22:48.914 --> 00:22:52.083
  • And moving and have a wholeness and a rhythm about our lives.
  • 00:22:52.083 --> 00:22:55.921
  • He said, look at our bride.
  • 00:22:55.921 --> 00:22:57.923
  • Jesus wants to show us off to the father
  • 00:22:57.923 --> 00:23:01.426
  • And that great day of coming.
  • 00:23:01.426 --> 00:23:04.696
  • This is what husbands do with their wives.
  • 00:23:04.696 --> 00:23:07.466
  • We want to encourage, build up, applaud, cheerlead,
  • 00:23:07.466 --> 00:23:11.436
  • Stand behind. not always be cutting
  • 00:23:11.436 --> 00:23:14.005
  • And barbequing and all of that thing.
  • 00:23:14.005 --> 00:23:16.107
  • Men get caught up in that guys.
  • 00:23:16.107 --> 00:23:17.876
  • It is a sad state of affairs.
  • 00:23:17.876 --> 00:23:20.111
  • I get caught up in it.
  • 00:23:20.111 --> 00:23:21.613
  • Applaud, build up praise and say this is my bride.
  • 00:23:21.613 --> 00:23:26.251
  • I want to present her
  • 00:23:26.251 --> 00:23:27.686
  • Just like christ wants to present us to the father.
  • 00:23:27.686 --> 00:23:30.489
  • And one day when we stand before god in that judgment
  • 00:23:30.489 --> 00:23:33.592
  • Seat, we'll look over there and say, there's my wife.
  • 00:23:33.592 --> 00:23:36.928
  • I didn't recognize her.
  • 00:23:37.429 --> 00:23:39.531
  • Oh, how magnificent, how, how beautiful, how radiant.
  • 00:23:39.531 --> 00:23:43.802
  • I knew that was there.
  • 00:23:43.802 --> 00:23:45.370
  • I just didn't imagine to know what you've come
  • 00:23:45.370 --> 00:23:48.306
  • Now in that resurrected body, in this eternal life.
  • 00:23:48.306 --> 00:23:52.511
  • Let me tell you what marriage is.
  • 00:23:53.211 --> 00:23:56.381
  • It's the reenactment of the good news.
  • 00:23:56.381 --> 00:23:59.518
  • You get that marriage is a reenactment of the good news.
  • 00:23:59.518 --> 00:24:03.989
  • What is the good news?
  • 00:24:03.989 --> 00:24:05.123
  • What god has done for us in jesus christ.
  • 00:24:05.123 --> 00:24:07.993
  • That is the good news and our marriage is
  • 00:24:07.993 --> 00:24:10.462
  • A reenactment of that.
  • 00:24:10.462 --> 00:24:13.598
  • It's an evangelistic thing.
  • 00:24:14.199 --> 00:24:16.101
  • It's a calling to other people to see what god is doing in
  • 00:24:16.101 --> 00:24:20.071
  • Frail human beings like us,
  • 00:24:20.672 --> 00:24:23.742
  • In this divine relationship we have together.
  • 00:24:23.742 --> 00:24:27.245
  • That's like a dance.
  • 00:24:27.712 --> 00:24:30.181
  • But even
  • 00:24:30.181 --> 00:24:31.950
  • The symbol of marriage is more than that.
  • 00:24:31.950 --> 00:24:35.287
  • Because when you see lives lived together
  • 00:24:36.121 --> 00:24:39.691
  • In some marriages,
  • 00:24:39.691 --> 00:24:41.793
  • Those who are lost and confused and empty and angry
  • 00:24:41.793 --> 00:24:46.431
  • At the whole world,
  • 00:24:46.431 --> 00:24:47.599
  • Especially at any thought of marriage
  • 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:50.001
  • Or any thought of a home or a house,
  • 00:24:50.001 --> 00:24:52.270
  • They don't get it, but when they see
  • 00:24:52.270 --> 00:24:56.274
  • A couple
  • 00:24:56.541 --> 00:24:58.810
  • Dancing together in marriage,
  • 00:24:58.810 --> 00:25:01.613
  • Followed by the divine leadership
  • 00:25:01.613 --> 00:25:04.382
  • We have in the bible, you know what marriage is really for.
  • 00:25:04.382 --> 00:25:08.320
  • Listen very carefully.
  • 00:25:08.320 --> 00:25:10.589
  • The real purpose of marriage
  • 00:25:10.589 --> 00:25:13.558
  • Is for people to look at that marriage
  • 00:25:13.558 --> 00:25:16.962
  • And they say, oh,
  • 00:25:17.395 --> 00:25:20.899
  • It is so
  • 00:25:21.166 --> 00:25:23.134
  • Strong.
  • 00:25:23.134 --> 00:25:24.102
  • It is so beautiful, it is so magnificent.
  • 00:25:24.102 --> 00:25:28.640
  • It is so rare.
  • 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:31.176
  • It is just what is the secret of your marriage?
  • 00:25:31.176 --> 00:25:37.148
  • And then their last.
  • 00:25:37.616 --> 00:25:39.985
  • Who is your choreographer?
  • 00:25:39.985 --> 00:25:45.457
  • I wrote standing on the promises
