Bible Institute Home, Marriage
Paul Pierucki · January 17, 2026
Pastor Pierucki opens a Bible Institute series on the Christian home and marriage, prompted by a couple in the church preparing to be wed. Working through Genesis 2, Ephesians 5, and related passages, he lays out God's design for the home, the husband's duty to love his wife as Christ loved the church, and the wife's call to submit and reverence her husband, all grounded in love rather than force. He stresses that obedience to the Word of God blesses the home while departing from it brings self-destruction, and closes with lighthearted quotes from children about marriage.
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. …”
