1 Corinthians 11: Heavenly Hats, Intimacy of the Body in ? - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Steven Theiss, retired LCMS pastor, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Corinthians 11.

“The head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” What do head coverings have to do with the Lord’s Supper? Does Paul intend in 1 Corinthians 11 for women to pick up hats on their way into church on Sundays, even today? Paul speaks these words right after talking about eating together and “building up” each other. The point is that the Lord’s supper is an intimate act, as intimate as husband and wife. Because public worship reflects what happens in heaven with God and the angels, we ought to build each other up with the way we dress and behave. Husbands and wives must do whatever is appropriate in their culture to reverently reflect the intimacy of Christ and His bride the church, made spotless and without blemish by His faithful and sacrificial love.
