Christian Households

Without Order there will always be Chaos!

1. Our Home should look like the Gospel.

Just as Jesus is the head of the Church the Man is the head of his Wife.

Marriage.

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord. Colossians 3:18

How Can a Wife Submit to their Husband?

Affirm His Leadership

Encourage His Leadership

Follow His Leadership

Give Grace to His Leadership

Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly. Colossians 3:19

Husbands are never commanded to rule their wives, but to love them.

Being the head is never portrayed as a means of self-satisfaction.

How Can Husbands Love their wife as Christ love the church?

Love first.

Love Sacrificially.

Love Permanently.

Parenting

Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not aggravate your children, or they will become discouraged. Colossians 3:20

2. Our Work should look like the Gospel.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Serve them sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord. Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.But if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. For God has no favorites. Colossians 3:21-4:1
