Yeah, good morning. Let me invite you, this morning to turn in your Bibles to, 1 Corinthians chapter 11. 1 Corinthians chapter 11. And for those of you that are visiting with us, this morning, we are doing a verse by verse study through the Book of First Corinthians, and as we continue in our study of this book, we find ourselves, once again and one final time, at least for the present in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 verses 2, through 16, and the title of the message, this morning is Head Coverings and Worship Part 9.
Head coverings and worship Part 9. this is a passage of scripture that has been fraught with a number of difficulties, both interpretation wise, but then also, practically speaking, as some of you are going to be able to observe from the message this morning, but this is a passage that has not made my life any easier, and I know it's not made many of your lives any easier either. but I have had to comfort myself with the realization that God did not call me to make your lives easy. he did not, call me to, a task that is always to be easy.
He has called me to preach the word. He's called us to have open hearts to His word. And as difficult as that may be sometimes, we need to be faithful to have open hearts to all of God's word. There are some passages in Scripture that are just easy to understand.
And then there are some that are difficult to understand. There are some passages in scripture that are a total delight to preach and to hear preached on, and then there are passages that are difficult to preach and to hear, being preached on. And all of those things collect in this particular passage. It's a passage that is difficult in some ways to, understand, down to the finest detail....
