This week at Venture, Pastor Morgan concluded our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful and deeply practical message from Ephesians 5–6 on what it means to build a Spirit-filled home.

Paul teaches that the truest test of our spiritual maturity isn’t found on Sundays, in small groups, or in public — it’s found in our homes. Pastor Morgan unpacks how the Gospel should transform our marriages, our parenting, and even our work relationships.

A Spirit-filled home is built on:

• Mutual submission

• Christlike love

• Godly order

• Every relationship submitted to Jesus

From marriage roles to parenting with gentleness, to representing Christ in the workplace, this message challenges us to invite the Holy Spirit into the center of our homes and everyday relationships.

If your home feels chaotic, heavy, or dry — there is hope. The same Spirit who fills us in worship can fill our homes with peace, unity, and transformation.
