Speaker 2: I just want to make sure I pull up my.
Speaker 1: Notes for First Corinthians chapter eleven. First we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about that, and I was reading it while I
Speaker 1: was on the cruise.
Speaker 2: That's one thing I didn't like.
Speaker 1: I didn't really study a lot on the cruise, but
Speaker 1: I did kind of. I was just looking a little
Speaker 1: bit through you know what I'm gonna be going over
Speaker 1: for you guys, and it gets really interesting some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that I'll be talking about.
Speaker 2: So let me just pull this.
Speaker 1: Up, First Corinthians eleven for those notes.
Speaker 2: I got those notes.
Speaker 1: I got notes all over, so many notes I can't
Speaker 1: even count, So all right, so let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: share the screen. And yep, it's been a while, guys,
Speaker 1: so I'm a little rusty. It was only a week off.
Speaker 1: But let's go ahead and go to chapter eleven. Perfect,
Speaker 1: So we'll be in First Corinthians.
Speaker 2: Perfect.
Speaker 1: First Corinthians chapter eleven, verse one. But first, you guys
Speaker 1: would have told me, hey, don't forget the intro, So
Speaker 1: I don't want to forget that. So let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and go over the intro for First Corinthians. Chapter eleven
Speaker 1: reminds us of the importance First Corinthians, Chapter eleven reminds
Speaker 1: us of the importance of respect and probably proper.
Speaker 2: Propriety within our Christian community.
Speaker 1: Paul's discussion on headship and worship practice calls us to
Speaker 1: be mindful of our conduct and the traditions we uphold.
Speaker 2: His review concerning the.
Speaker 1: Lord's Supper serves as a sober reminder of the sacredness
Speaker 1: of the tradition, urging us to approach it with reverence
Speaker 1: and self examination.
Speaker 2: Above all, this chapter calls us to.
Speaker 1: Unity and mutual respect to our observance of Christian practices. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let me just go ahead and start One Corinthians,
Speaker 1: Chapter eleven, Verse one, Worship and the Lord's Supper is
Speaker 1: what it's the title is? He says, imitate me, just
Speaker 1: as I also imitate Christ. Okay, and it says head
Speaker 1: coverings is the title. Now, I praise you, brethren, that
Speaker 1: you remember me in all things and keep the traditions
Speaker 1: just as I delivered them to you.
Speaker 2: But I want you to know that.
Speaker 1: The head of every man is Christ, the head of
Speaker 1: every woman is Man, and the head of Christ is God.
Speaker 1: Every man praying a prophesy and having his head covered
Speaker 1: dishonors his head.
Speaker 2: But every woman who.
Speaker 1: Prays or prophetess with her head uncovered dishonors her head.
Speaker 1: As for that, I'm sorry for that is one of
Speaker 1: the same as she has her head. For that is
Speaker 1: one and the same as if her head were shaved.
Speaker 1: For if a woman is not covered, let her also
Speaker 1: be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman
Speaker 1: to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. For
Speaker 1: a man, indeed ought to cover his head, since he
Speaker 1: is in the image and glory of God, ought to
Speaker 1: not cover his centency is the image and glory of God.
Speaker 1: But women is the glory of man. For man is
Speaker 1: not from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man
Speaker 1: created for woman, but woman for man. For this reason,
Speaker 1: the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on
Speaker 1: her head because of the angels. Nevertheless, neither is man
Speaker 1: independent of woman, nor woman independent of man and the Lord.
Speaker 1: For as a woman came from man, just as men
Speaker 1: also came through woman. But all things are from God.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's chapter. That's a verse one, all the way
Speaker 2: through twelve.
Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and go all the way to sixteen,
Speaker 1: and then I have some stuff to go over for you. Guys,
Speaker 1: judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to
Speaker 1: pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not even
Speaker 1: the nature itself that you If a man has long hair,
Speaker 1: is it the dishonor to him? But if a woman
Speaker 1: has long hair, it is glory to her, for her
Speaker 1: hair is given to her for a covering.
Speaker 2: But if anyone seems.
Speaker 1: To be contentious, we have to We have no such custom,
Speaker 1: nor do the churches of God. Okay, let's go over
Speaker 1: some things here. What is Paul talking about here? So
Speaker 1: just want to let you know first of all about
Speaker 1: the head coverings.
Speaker 2: Okay, All respectable.
Speaker 1: Women in that day wore head coverings in Paul's day, Okay,
Speaker 1: and the time that they live. Obviously, this is written
Speaker 1: to us. This is written for us, but not to us.
Speaker 1: He's writing a letter to the Corinthians. So we need
Speaker 1: to understand that Paul is writing a letter to the Corinthians.
Speaker 1: So at their time, what was going on? Well, all
Speaker 1: respectable women wore head coverings in Paul's day. Verse ten
Speaker 1: is the key to this passage, which says, for this reason,
Speaker 1: the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on
Speaker 1: her head, right authority so all women with authority had
Speaker 1: the head covering. All respectable women wore the head covering, okay,
Speaker 1: and it says because of the angels, which is very interesting.
Speaker 1: So now one thing we need to understand is prostitutes
Speaker 1: didn't wear head coverings. Okay, So the prostitutes didn't wear
Speaker 1: head coverings. That's how you can tell the women, the
Speaker 1: respectable women from the non respectable women in Corinthians, right,
Speaker 1: the town of corinth I'm sorry, because remember that there
Speaker 1: was a lot of prostitution, sexual immorality, gays, you know,
Speaker 1: gay prostitutes, you know, men and women, prostitutes walking around,
Speaker 1: and they did had no cover on their head, so
Speaker 1: people knew that they were prostitutes. Now, the very interesting
Speaker 1: part is it says because of the angels. It says
Speaker 1: for this reason, the woman ought to have a symbol
Speaker 1: of authority on her head, because of the angels. There's
Speaker 1: a few different ways some people interpret that. Some people
Speaker 1: I've heard say, since it's the prostitutes that didn't wear
Speaker 1: the head coverings. Is Paul talking about what happened in
Speaker 1: Genesis six?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Because the angels of the Genesis six sinned? Remember in
Speaker 1: Genesis sixty four is that what.
Speaker 2: He's talking about.
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a few different ways that people
Speaker 1: interpret that.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Some people are saying that they have a symbol of
Speaker 1: authority on her head, just like the angels.
Speaker 2: Right, that's one way some people think of it.
Speaker 1: Okay, But that part is very interesting. And then.
Speaker 2: Let me check my.
Speaker 1: Other notes real quick about verse three. In verse three,
Speaker 1: Paul emphasizes the principle of headship, stating that but I
Speaker 1: want you to understand that the head of every man
Speaker 1: is Christ, and the head of the woman is Man,
Speaker 1: and the head of Christ is God. This establishes a
Speaker 1: divine order that reflects both authority and responsibility.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So, and then also on my notes, it talks about
Speaker 1: the discussion of head coverings, cultural practices, and worship. First
Speaker 1: Corinthians four through sixteen highlights the importance of cultural expression
Speaker 1: and worship. Paul advises that women should cover their heads
Speaker 1: as a sign of authority and respect, while men should not,
Speaker 1: reflecting the customs of the time. That's what I was
Speaker 1: talking about earlier, right, And then cultural practices and worship
Speaker 1: in the Bible are deeply intertwined, reflecting the diverse ways
Speaker 1: in which the people of God expressed their devotion and
Speaker 1: obedience to him. These practices were often shaped by the
Speaker 1: historical and social context of the biblical narrative, yet they
Speaker 1: consistently pointed towards the centrality of worship in the life
Speaker 1: of the believer.
Speaker 2: Okay, I just want to let you guys know that.
Speaker 1: And then so in the context of marriage, is what
Speaker 1: Paul's talking about when he says that every when it
Speaker 1: says that every man is okay, that the head of
