EPHESIANS 5:22-33
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.
![Page 4: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
EPHESIANS 5:22-3324 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word,
![Page 5: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
EPHESIANS 5:22-3327 and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
![Page 6: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
EPHESIANS 5:22-3329 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of His body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
![Page 7: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
EPHESIANS 5:22-33
32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
![Page 8: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
GENESIS 2:24
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
![Page 9: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The big idea here is love.
![Page 10: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Once Jesus comes, we now see what love is; we now know what
love is. Love has not only a definition but is walking around
as an example.
![Page 11: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
There is no understanding of love apart from the person and
work of Jesus.
![Page 12: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
God’s love is shown for us like a bride and a groom.
![Page 13: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 19: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
HUSBAND TO LOVE AND LEAD LIKE JESUS?
(1) We are not the highest authority.
(2) We are to love our wife, not just marriage.
(3) Your most important human friendship is with your wife.
![Page 20: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

![Page 21: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
HUSBAND TO LOVE AND LEAD LIKE JESUS?
(7) As the family leader, men, we take responsibility for the well-being of the family.(8) She is a garden; you are the gardener.
![Page 22: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Jesus loves all of His people collectively together as the church
—it’s like a bride and a groom.
![Page 23: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Only God in Jesus Christ loves perfectly, loves humbly, loves continually, loves unselfishly, loves generously all the
time without fail.
![Page 24: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
FIVE WAYS JESUS LOVES THE CHURCH
![Page 25: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
(1)
AS HEAD
![Page 26: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
That means that Jesus is in charge. He’s in authority.
![Page 27: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
For our church family, very practically, what this means is it doesn’t matter what I want, it
doesn’t matter what you want, it doesn’t matter what we want, it doesn’t even matter
if we vote. The question is, what does He want? What does Jesus say?
![Page 28: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The church belongs to Jesus, and ultimately it’s to be governed by His Word. If He wants something, then that
should be done. If He doesn’t want something, then that shouldn’t be done.
![Page 29: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

AS SAVIOR
![Page 30: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We are sinners and we need a Savior.
![Page 31: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
We’re not good people getting better; we’re bad people getting
worse. This means that we cannot save ourselves.
![Page 32: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We don’t need now to just blame others or excuse ourselves or
accept ourselves or love ourselves because Jesus comes to save as
Savior.
![Page 33: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
JOHN 14:6
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
![Page 34: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

AS GIVER
![Page 35: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The truth is, you can easily ascertain who or what you love by
just following your money.
![Page 36: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Love is a commitment that compels us to act, and part of that action is giving. It’s generosity.
![Page 37: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What do you give your time to? That shows us who or what you love. What do you give your energy to? That shows us who or what you love. What do you give your possessions to? That shows us who or what you love. What do you give your wealth to?
That shows us who or what you love—who or what you love. Jesus loves the church.
![Page 38: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
It’s because Christ loved the church, and He gave Himself up for her. Just like a
husband loves his wife and keeps giving of himself, Jesus keeps giving of Himself. The resurrected, living, loving Lord Jesus
keeps giving of Himself to the church.
![Page 39: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Give yourself to what Jesus gave Himself to, the church. Give your money to the church. Give your heart to the church.
Give your time to the church. Give your life to the church. Why? Because it’s
what Jesus gave Himself to.
![Page 40: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Jesus is a giver, and when you and I learn to be givers, it
transforms our whole life.
![Page 41: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Because then you’re able to give your heart, to give your time, to give your possessions, to give your wealth, and you’ll stop loving things and using people, and you’ll start
loving people by using things to demonstrate love to them.
![Page 42: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
(4)AS SANCTIFIER AND CLEANSER
![Page 43: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
What this means is that we are dirty, and we are defiled, and we are
unclean, and that’s the result of our sin. Jesus is sanctifier and cleanser.
He’s there to clean you up and help.
![Page 44: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
(5)AS NOURISHER
AND CHERISHER
![Page 45: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Jesus cherishes His people like a good husband adores his wife, and He nourishes his people like Jesus
nourishes, encourages, builds up the church.
![Page 46: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
CONCLUSION
![Page 47: I AM LOVED - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55b3a5c2bb61eb8d538b4716/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Only God’s love can move us to love others.
