Biblical Foundation for Headship
God is the head of Christ
The divine order begins with God's authority
Christ is the head of man
Men submit to Christ's leadership
Man is the head of wife
Husbands lead as Christ leads the church
"The head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God." (1 Corinthians 11:3)
A Wife's Beautiful Submission
Not Weakness
Submission is beauty, strength, and full of glory.
Like the Church
As the church submits to Christ, wives submit to husbands.
Using Gifts
A wife uses her strength to support God's mission for their family.
"Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord."
(Ephesians 5:22)
A Husband's Sacrificial Love
Love Sacrificially
Give yourself up for your wife daily
Wash With the Word
Lead in reading Scripture together
Nourish and Cherish
Care for her as Christ cares for the church
Submit to Christ
Show your own submission through prayer
"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her." (Ephesians 5:25)
Family Worship:
How Fathers Demonstrate Submission To Christ
Read God's Word
Open the Bible with your family regularly
Seek God in Prayer
Lead your family in conversation with God
Sing His Praises
Worship together in your home
Lead by Example
Show what you're striving to live in your own life
Family worship helps your family feel safe submitting to their head, knowing you submit to yours.
The Real Battle at Home

Recognize the enemy
Satan attacks families through lies and deception
Pick up the Sword of the Spirit
Use God's Word as your weapon
Defend your spiritual territory
Be vigilant against attacks on your family
Men often prepare to protect physically. The real battle is spiritual. Don't fight imaginary dragons while the real enemy whispers lies inside your home.
