The Spirit-Filled Home | Ephesians 5:22–6:9

What does it actually look like when the gospel begins to change someone’s life? It’s easy to look spiritual for an hour on Sunday. But what about the other 167 hours of the week? What would the people closest to us—our spouse, our kids, our coworkers, or our classmates—say about our character and our faith? In this sermon from Epistle to the Ephesians 5:22–6:9, Pastor Mace Perez explores what the Apostle Paul says a Spirit-filled life looks like in our closest relationships. Paul applies the gospel to the ordinary places where life actually happens—our marriages, our families, and even our work. Far from promoting control or hierarchy, this passage shows how the lordship of Christ transforms everyday life. When Christ is truly Lord, authority becomes sacrificial responsibility, and submission becomes devotion to Him. The gospel doesn’t just change what we believe—it reshapes how we love, serve, and lead the people around us.
