The main point

Christ's headship, love and union with the church shape marriage and point beyond it.

About this message

Paul writes to wives and husbands in Ephesus, then says the great mystery he is speaking of is Christ and the church. Bogdan Pishtoy walks through Ephesians 5:22-33 as a portrait of Christ the Bridegroom: His headship, His sacrificial, sanctifying and caring love, and His union with the church. He draws out what this means for husbands and wives, and shows how Christ gives what earthly marriage cannot.

For anyone who wants to see marriage through Christ and the church.
