Serving Christ in My Family, Part I
Main Point: We are to honor and serve Christ in our family and we will see the blessings of God manifested in all these relationships. Assumption is that you are saved and submitted to the Lord. 1. Wives are to submit to their husbands as is fitting in the Lord. verse 18 ‘Submit’ = To put under the appointed order. ’Head’ = the position of authority, which means primarily responsi-bility and accountability. 2. Husbands are to Love their wives and are not to be harsh with them. verse 19 ‘Obey’ = Listen attentively and heed – do what they say! 4. Fathers do not embitter your children or they will become discouraged. verse 21 'Embitter’ = Provoke to anger & bitterness.
