A Life of Submission


Ephesians 5:21-6:9

Submission is often viewed as a negative concept.  Most people equate submitting to someone else as allowing that person to use you as a doormat.  There is a negative aspect to submission.

However, submission can be viewed in a positive light.  When we submit to Jesus and allow him to rule our lives then we experience spiritual healing and submission becomes a very positive concept.  When people engage in mutual submission; where they focus on one another then submission becomes a positive thing as well because both people have their needs met.

This week we are going to explore the concept of submission from the perspective that is shared in the passage from Ephesians.
