Submission: headship & husband's leading their families

<p>This week we take on what it means for wives to submit to their husbands and for husbands to submit to Christ in the leading & loving of their families, as sacrificial servant-leaders.</p> <p><strong>NOTES:</strong></p> <ul> <li>This Weeks Whiskey: Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon</li> <li>Biblical male headship / leadership, husbands being the head of their house and wives submitting to their husbands... what does it all mean in our modern world</li> <li><strong>Ephesians 5:22-29</strong> - "<strong>22 </strong>Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. <strong>23 </strong>For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. <strong>24 </strong>Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. <strong>25 </strong>Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, <strong>26 </strong>that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, <strong>27 </strong>so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] <strong>28 </strong>In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. <strong>29 </strong>For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of one body..."</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Why does "headship" matter? We are designed & created by God, as men and woman, to fulfill specific roles in the family.</li> <li>God making man as the head, does not mean men are superior, better or dominant... it means they have a different role than woman, as the one responsible for the care of and sacrificial love for his wife and family.</li> <li>This verse is specifically saying that a Wife needs to submit to her husband... not women in general, should submit to men in general.</li> <li>To be the helper or support
