Summary

If you have ever seen what happens when someone points a hose at a bees’ nest, then you have witnessed what basically happens when the the Bible verses about wives submitting to their husbands are discussed. In this sermon, Pastor Mark examines in great practical detail what the Bible means and does not mean when instructing wives to submit to husbands, and husbands to love their wives and not be harsh with them. Grace Driscoll joins Mark at the end of the sermon to help explain how the dynamics of decision making play out practically in their friendship and marriage of nearly 25 years.

0:00.0	Howdy, Pastor Mark Triscoll here at the Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona.

0:56.1	New Testament and that being the case I wanted to learn some years ago what was the context
1:02.0	that the people were living in who originally received these
1:06.4	particular letters particularly today, Colossians and so jumped on a plane
