Head covering for Christian women

It is our desire to bring you a systematic study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, book by book.

On our last Searchlight program we began looking at a section of Scripture in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 that talks about headship and head coverings.

This passage has caused a lot of confusion to many, but as we work through this passage we are seeing that it shouldn't really cause controversy at all.

We learned last time that God has ordained a certain order of authority.

But it is not an issue of superiority.

It is an issue of humility and liberty.

As we join our teaching in progress today, we are considering a related confusing issue of Paul's day, and that issue is head coverings for women.

With our study, here now is Pastor John.

And yet there are a couple of really practical considerations that often rise to the surface when people begin to think about clothes and what the Bible has to say about clothes.

And two of those that I don't want to leave the episode without talking about are head coverings and modesty.

Because I do think the Bible has much to say about both of those things.

And I want to come at it the right way.

JT, I've been to your church.

You've been to my church.

Neither of us, our church, we don't leave either of our churches in such a way where we require head coverings for women at all or female members in the life of our church.

Why? Okay, so like, why don't we? Let's just start there, big picture.
