The Servant Rules
When God created marriage, He created four simple yet profoundly important laws to protect this sacred relationship. In his new series, The Four Laws of Love, Pastor Jimmy Evans shares how honoring these laws sets a marriage up for success. This weekend, Pastor Jimmy Evans shares a message titled “The Servant Rules,” where he talks about how we experience the benefits of marriage through serving one another.

1 Peter 3:1–4 (MSG)
The same goes for you wives: Be good wives to your husbands, responsive to their needs. There are husbands who, indifferent as they are to any words about God, will be captivated by your life of holy beauty. What matters is not your outer appearance—the styling of your hair, the jewelry you wear, the cut of your clothes—but your inner disposition. Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in.
