Notes from my sermon today on being a Christ-like husband:
I. A Christ-like husband leads! (Ephesians 5:23-24)
a.) Spiritual leadership begins with knowing Christ personally and intimately.
b.) Spiritual leadership is about rejecting passivity
c.) Spiritual leadership is about accepting responsibility
II. A Christ-like husband loves! (Ephesians 5:25)
a.) He loves sacrificially
b.) He loves selflessly
III. A Christ-like husband learns! (Ephesians 5:28-33)
a.) He learns how to nourish his wife
b.) He learns how to cherish his wife
c.) He develops oneness with his wife
Practical application:
-Share something (2-3 times weekly) that God is teaching you with your wife and have your wife share what God is teaching her.
-Pray with JUST your wife 2-3 times a week. Ask her what she needs prayer for and pray specifically.
-Do something special for your wife once a week.
-ENCOURAGE, ENCOURAGE, ENCOURAGE!!!
Men, sit down with your wife this week and ask this question:
“What are your greatest needs and how can I better meet your needs?”
-take notes and work at meeting her needs
