Ephesians 5:25,33 -Spirit Filled Husbands- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2026-05-03

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 5:25–33, calling husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and urging Spirit‑filled marriages that reflect Christ and the bride. He unpacks agape love with four characteristics: costly (sacrificial), cleansing (sanctifying by the Word), caring (nourishing and cherishing), and cleaving (lifelong oneness). Beaudry uses personal anecdotes about his wife Kathy and family to illustrate practical application. He warns against worldly influences, power struggles, and the erosion of marriage when the vertical (relationship with God) is neglected, pressing men to protect, serve, and lead their homes through Scripture and prayer. He balances a call to mutual submission and reverence with pastoral caution on unrepentant sin and divorce, urging us to trust Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of the God‑shaped longing marriage symbolizes.
