The theme for the Spring 2011 Bible conference in Phoenix is found both at the beginning and end of the book (1Ti 1:18, 1Ti 6:12). In each reference, different words and phrases are used. In the first, Paul speaks of the good fight of faith as an ongoing campaign, thus reminding us that we are part of a vast and great spiritual army. In the last, his words focus on our own personal struggle, a good reminder that no one can fight our battle for us. This scope and intensity will be captured as we follow Paul’s thought through the book.

The Beauty of Submission -- Session 3
Many people, through misunderstanding and lack of understanding of God’s Word consider God to be a misogynist. Nothing could be further from the truth. In every encounter Jesus had with a woman His words and actions display His respect for the value of her life and soul. In every culture that embraces Christian principles, the value and honor given to the woman is elevated. In this lesson we are going to narrow down submission to the life of the woman. But rather than just hammer away at the commands to su bmit, we will, once again, see it within the overall plan of God for order and beauty in the human race.
Scripture References: Ephesians 6:1-9, Ephesians 5:15-33, 1 Peter 3:1-17, 1 Peter 2:11-25, 2 Samuel 6:12-23

We are designed for submission to submit is to participate in the plan God has for us. But we are designed for so much more! We are designed to beautify the gospel messag e and the Person of the Gospel in all that we say and do in how we cook and create, in how we live and love, in how we sing and serve, in how we give and pray, parent and praise. We are designed to stir hearts by creating beauty that reflects the beauty of Jesus. The X4 Ranch and Basic Training Bible Ministries hosted a weekend women's retreat 31 July - Aug 1st, 2020. Nan Cunningham taught "The Beauty of Submission" based on James 4:7.
