Some of the rules that we are going to see today from God’s Word for men and women in the church are not just mere rules. Why? Because they reflect the sort of difference and complementary design God has had for us His image bearers from the very beginning. In fact, this is exactly the ground work that…

Wives Once again, the S word, submission. Last week we spoke about authority outside the home. Today we bring it into the home.
