King's Way Sermons with Dale Partridge

In this powerful sermon on marriage and biblical patriarchy, the pastor uses Ephesians 5:22-33 to explain God's clear "instruction manual" for building a joyful, ordered Christian marriage. Comparing marriage without God's design to assembling furniture without instructions, he highlights how many couples end up in frustration, resentment, or divorce by making it up as they go.
Drawing parallels between Christ and the church, he teaches:
• Wives are called to joyful submission to their husbands as to the Lord — a dignifying, revolutionary act in a world of insubordination.
• Husbands are the head, modeling Christ's sacrificial love by providing, protecting, leading, and gently cherishing their wives to present them holy and radiant before God.
• True authority flows from sacrificial responsibility, not tyranny.
• Biblical patriarchy brings order, joy, legacy, and a living picture of the gospel to the world.
Perfect for couples seeking God's blueprint for strong, gospel-centered marriages in a chaotic culture

In Genesis 6:5–8, Scripture gives God’s own assessment of the world just before the flood. Humanity’s wickedness had reached its peak—every intention of the human heart was only evil continually. This passage reveals the doctrine of total depravity, showing not merely outward corruption but a deep, internal rebellion against God.

As God looks upon the earth, we see His omniscience, His holy grief over sin, and His righteous judgment. Yet this is not a message of despair. In the darkest moment of human history, Scripture gives one of the most hopeful contrasts in the Bible: “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.”

This sermon explains God’s grief without denying His sovereignty, refutes open theism, and shows how divine judgment and mercy coexist. Noah’s preservation points forward to Christ—the greater Ark—who saves sinners from the coming judgment by grace alone. Genesis 6 is not only a warning of wrath, but a powerful proclamation of grace.

In this sermon on Genesis 6:1–4, we examine one of the most debated and mysterious passages in Scripture: the sons of God, the daughters of men, and the Nephilim. Set in the context of the war between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman, this passage reveals the final escalation of moral and biological corruption before the flood. Drawing from the Old and New Testaments, we explore historic interpretations held by the early church, the role of fallen angels, the identity of the Nephilim, and why God announced a 120-year countdown to judgment. Ultimately, this text reminds us that even when evil seems overwhelming, God remains sovereign, preserves His promised seed, and faithfully accomplishes His redemptive purposes.

Genesis 5 is often overlooked as “just a genealogy,” but it is actually a powerful record of the pre-flood world, the faithfulness of God, and the unfolding promise of redemption. This sermon walks through the generations from Adam to Noah, showing how life and death confirm the curse of the fall while also pointing forward to hope in the coming Messiah.
Through Adam, Enoch, and Noah, we see the contrast between fallen humanity and those who “walked with God.” The extraordinary lifespans of the pre-flood world reveal a radically different environment, preserved by God to pass down firsthand testimony of creation, the fall, and the coming judgment. Enoch’s translation into heaven reminds us that faith pleases God, while Noah stands as the divinely chosen preserver of the promised seed.
Ultimately, Genesis 5 teaches that while death reigns in Adam, life is promised through the greater Adam—Jesus Christ. This genealogy is not filler; it is a testimony to God’s faithfulness, judgment, mercy, and redemptive plan from the beginning of the world.

In the closing verses of Genesis 4, God reveals that human evil and tragedy cannot thwart His redemptive purposes. After the death of Abel and the rise of Cain’s godless civilization, hope appears lost for Adam and Eve. Yet God preserves the covenant promise through the birth of Seth—an appointed seed who continues the godly line that will ultimately lead to Christ. With the birth of Enosh, Scripture records the first instance of people calling upon the name of the Lord, marking the beginning of worship, prayer, and public reliance on God’s promises. This sermon contrasts the boastful violence of Cain’s line with the humble faith of Seth’s descendants and reminds believers that God often works through ordinary faithfulness rather than dramatic spectacle. In seasons of confusion, loss, or delayed clarity, God calls His people to trust His purposes and to call upon His name in faith.
