Summary
The sermon emphasizes that a wife's example should be Christ's perfect submission to God the Father, not the current state of the church. While men and women are equal before God, the wife is called to submit to her husband, even when he is disobedient or unconverted. The ultimate model for this submission is Jesus Christ, who demonstrated glorious submission to redeem others without speaking a word.
Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Looking to Christ instead of the churchWhile Ephesians compares the wife to the church, the church is an imperfect example of submission, so we must look to Christ instead.
Christ as the head of man and God as the head of ChristJust as Christ is subject to God the Father, the wife is called to accept her husband as her head based on 1 Corinthians.
The cultural resistance to submissionThe modern women's liberation movement has fostered a rebellious spirit against God's order of headship and the symbol of veiling.
Equality and submission can coexistThough men and women are completely equal before God, Jesus demonstrated that voluntary submission is a glorious choice for the purpose of redemption.
What should a Christian woman do if her husband is unconverted?The Bible addresses the reality of wives with husbands who are disobedient to the word, pointing them to 1 Peter for guidance.1 Peter 3:1
Winning an unconverted husband without a wordWives are instructed to be submissive so they can win their husbands through godly behavior rather than through nagging or preaching.1 Peter 2:21
Learning from Jesus' submission in NazarethJust as Jesus submitted to imperfect earthly parents like Joseph and Mary who knew less than he did, wives can submit to unconverted husbands.
Submitting because God commanded itSubmission is ultimately practiced because God commanded it, transforming how a believer views obedience in the home.
