Ephesians 5:18-33

In this message Pastor Daniel turns our attention to the relational dynamic between husbands and wives as it pertains to leadership within the church and within the household.

There has been much debate on this topic that has created two differing positions. On the one end there’s the egalitarian interpretation of scripture that emphasizes the framework equality in leadership positions both within the church and home. Essentially that leadership within the home and church are not restricted to only males. The other interpretive grid is the complementarian position. This position maintains that God has created men and women equal in their essential dignity and human personhood, but different and complementary in function. Essentially that the church and the household are to operate with male headship.

In this message we will carefully open this can of worms by first unpacking what the scriptures are saying about the topic of representative headship.
