Are We There Yet?

The sermon, drawn from Ephesians 5:15–18, calls believers to intentional living in a culture of busyness by prioritizing their relationship with God and their spouse above all else. It emphasizes that true wisdom involves seeing life from God's perspective—walking circumspectly, redeeming time, and resisting the temptation to let work, technology, or ministry replace intimate, face-to-face connection. Through biblical examples like Mary and Martha, and illustrations such as the steamboats, the message warns against emotional drift, stress, and resentment in marriage, urging couples to schedule regular, meaningful time together and to be filled with the Holy Spirit rather than consumed by worldly distractions. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that a strong marriage is not incidental but foundational, reflecting God's design and impacting the broader family, church, and society when rooted in Christ-centered priorities and surrendered wills.
