The Beauty of Submission -- Session 2
Submission is the Greek word hupotasso. It is a verb meaning to be arranged in proper rank ” as in a military sense." In a non military sense, Thayer’s definition is "a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden.” The Word of God encourages all the above in a healthy spiritual life. We are told to encourage one another, bear one another’s burdens, live peaceably with one another, consider the other person’s needs above our own, and so forth.
Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 11:3-15, Genesis 32:1-100, James 4:6-10
From Series: "The Beauty of Submission -- 2020 Kansas Ladies Retreat"
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.
