Outline: Ephesians 5:14-33 How to Make Your Wife Submissive Sermon Outline for February 15, 2004 by Pastor Dennis R. Tuuri Intro: Joy at our community! Understanding the will of the Lord, not your wife! 1 Peter 3:7; Ecc. 7:28 First, you assist your wife’s submission by being thankful for her! (Don’t be embittered) Col. 3:19 Second, you assist your wife’s submission by knowing what submission is and isn’t. At the heart of mature masculinity is a sense of benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for and protect women in ways appropriate to a man’s differing relationships. At the heart of mature femininity is a freeing disposition to affirm, receive and nurture strength and leadership from worthy men in ways appropriate to a woman’s differing relationships. John Piper, Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood Third, you assist your wife’s submission by submitting to your wife , in fear of God. 1 Peter 3:7 Fourth, you assist your wife’s submission by recognizing that your wife’s submission is not primarily your responsibility but hers. Your role in this is derivative of your primary role – to love her. Fifth, you assist your wife’s submission by loving her and serving her self-sacrificially. Sixth, you assist your wife’s submission by ministering God’s Word to her. Seventh, you assist your wife’s submission by being respectable .
