1 Corinthians 11vv1-16 - a handout

 

THE CHRISTIAN DRESS CODE

FOR MEN AND WOMEN

FOR CHURCH

(Useful background reading: Genesis 1-3)

1 Corinthians 11:1-16 (page 1152)

 

INTRODUCTION: Fasten your seatbelts!

 

Ch 11-14 – the public gathered worship of the church – note v1

 

Difficult and controversial

 

Important and useful

 

Not Christianity 101!

 

True, good and beautiful

 

TWO UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES:

 

(1) Men and women are human: equality

 

 

 

(2) Men are not women; women are not men: difference

 

 

 

IMPLICATIONS: These two principles should be appropriately expressed in life and especially in public worship

 

 

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Hats, haircuts and our contemporary culture
