“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:22). This is a service and an act of worship that the woman gives to the Lord Himself. It is the Lord’s will that the wife be submissive to her husband, and if she want to honor Christ, then one of the concrete ways she does this is by being in submission to her husband. If a woman is contentious and refuses to follow the leadership of her husband, she is in rebellion, not simply against him, but also against Christ.

My name is Jimmy and I'm from Louisville, Kentucky.

I just recently subscribed to this site and am very moved by the discusssions, sermons and prayer requests.



I ask that you keep in me prayer.  I'm an assoicate minister at my church here in Louisville and will be preaching in my Pastor's stead this weekend.  We have three worship services, 8:00, 10:00 and 11:30 a.m.



My preaching text is Micah 5:2. "But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are the little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient of days." 

Among the points I am prayerfully considering are:

(1) God's Promises under the most unlikely of circumstances.

(2) God's Choice of the weak to lead the strong.

(3) Privelege does not necessarily equate to blessedness.

(4) Splendor and Riches can be distractions to holiness (Jerusalem was under siege for their disobedience).



Has anyone preached from this text before?  Any other prayerful considerations



On another note, I recently purchased pre-paid legal services.  In light of the litigious culture in America, does any other minister on this site have this service?  I'd like to share more about it if you so desire.  Thanks.
