Ephesians 6:5-9
5 Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;
6 not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to men,
8 knowing that whatever good any one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
9 Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

How is the family expected to function in 2011? Do the bible’s instructions for family still apply today or are modifications needed for our modern times? Pastor Eric Cuenin continues the study of Ephesians with an explicit “NO.” The bible is and always will be sufficient for us – our problem is “are we actually obeying its commands?”

In 2011, husbands need to love their wives the way they were commanded in the 1st century. How can husbands and wives help each other to make the family better? Listen to the teaching of Pastor Cuenin from Ephesians 5 in this timely and needed sermon today.
