In this sermon, Pastor Matthew Heller unpacks Ephesians 5:22–25, exploring God’s design for marriage and the unique roles of husbands and wives.

Focusing on the meaning of submission, Pastor Matthew explains what it means for wives to submit to their husbands “as to the Lord,” clears up common misconceptions, and emphasizes the importance of humility, mutual respect, and God’s order in relationships.

He also provides practical guidance for living out these principles in everyday marriage—no matter the circumstances—with the ultimate goal of glorifying God.
