Christian Families are central

• Ephesians 5:22-6:4 provides the model taken after Christ to His church.    
• The husband is to lead and love, protecting and providing both physically and spiritually, thus modeling Christ to His church.
• The wife is to submit to and respect her husband, as unto the Lord, modeling the church to Christ.
• The child/youth is to honor their father and mother, and prayerfully be led to Christ in this Christian home.
• As God adds to His church those without Christian families, we will seek to be the family of God to them, modeling Titus 2 in pulling them beneath our care and example.
• Those not married are to be reminded that all earthly marriages eventually end, giving way to the eternal marriage of Christ to His church.
