The Work of Restoration Pt. 3 | Chris Chadwick | Ephesians 4:28-32

Building a healthy marriage isn't just about communication tips—it's about a radical transformation of the heart. In this powerful session from Marriage Weekender 2026, Pastor Chris Chadwick dives into Ephesians 4 to reveal how the gospel reshapes our most intimate relationships. Discover why true "theft" in a marriage often looks like emotional disengagement or an unwillingness to engage in godly conflict, and learn how to replace bitterness with the kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness modeled by Jesus Christ. Whether your marriage is thriving or struggling, this message offers practical, biblical steps to reflect the image of God in your home.Chapters:0:00:00 - Introduction to Ephesians 40:00:23 - The Theft of Emotional Disengagement0:01:06 - Why Your Marriage Needs Godly Conflict0:02:12 - Working Together for the Grace of Life0:03:00 - Edifying Communication and the Spirit0:04:10 - An Invitation to Jesus Christ0:05:08 - The Main Point: Be Christlike0:05:55 - Living as a New Creation0:06:40 - Overcoming Your Past and Upbringing0:08:15 - Our Standard is the Savior0:08:35 - Defining Christlike Kindness0:09:50 - The Story of Zane and the Miracle Brush0:11:55 - Leadership Lessons in Tenderness0:13:58 - Is It Easy to Be Married to You?0:15:35 - Being Tenderhearted and Full of Compassion0:17:35 - The Active Form of Grace: Forgiveness0:19:15 - Real Offense and Biblical Repentance0:20:42 - Accountability and Moving Forward0:22:15 - Forgiving Without Forgetting0:23:35 - Choosing Grace a Thousand Times a DayWe hope this message encourages you to grow deeper in your walk with the Lord and your commitment to your spouse.
