His Body The Church

August 17 & 18, 2024

Primary Text:  Ephesians 5:22–28               


This Week’s Teaching:


1)  His Body

Ephesians 5:22–24:  Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.  Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.  
 

DQ 1) How is Christ the head of the church?  

DQ 2) Why is submission a Godly and healthy part of life?

2)  A Radiant Church

Ephesians 5:25–28:  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.  In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.  He who loves his wife loves himself.  


DQ 3) Describe the love of Christ for the church. 

DQ 4) Do you love the church?

3)  The Church Eternal

Revelation 1:1–3:  The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place.  He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.  Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

Revelation 1:9–11:  I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.  On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.” 


DQ 5) What is God’s eternal plan for the church?
