Marriage as Completion: Gender Roles (Part 2)

Marriage as Completion: Gender Roles (Part 2)

Author: Tim Keller | Gospel in Life August 13, 2024 Duration: 46:36
We’re looking at a subject that’s controversial. I’m going to try to speak as personally out of my own experience as I possibly can. Yet it’s still an area to think carefully. In our series on marriage, we look for the second time at Ephesians 5:22: “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church.” What does this mean? It means a whole lot.  Let’s look at what this passage teaches about the head: 1) head means the husband and the wife complete one another, and 2) head means there is an authority structure inside marriage.  This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 29, 1991. Series: Marriage. Scripture: Ephesians 5:22-33.

Listeners will hear Dr. Keller's thoughtful exegesis and application of scripture, addressing common challenges and profound truths about covenant partnership.

Each episode in this series serves as a deep dive into principles that go beyond mere technique, focusing on the heart and purpose behind the union. The podcast naturally invites reflection and application, making historic teachings accessible for contemporary life. It's a chance to engage with the material that started a significant conversation for many, presented in its original auditory form.
