In this clear and thoughtful explanation, Pastor Mike unpacks one of the most puzzling verses in the New Testament: 1 Corinthians 11:10. What does Paul mean when he says a woman should have a symbol of authority “because of the angels”? Pastor Mike explains the Greek word angelos, showing how it often means “messenger” rather than a heavenly being, and why that distinction matters in this passage. He connects the verse to the cultural context of Corinth, Paul’s traveling messengers, and the issue of gender roles and order in the church. This teaching helps listeners read the passage with historical clarity instead of confusion or speculation.

The world is wearing out Christians. More and more are saying that spiritual matters rarely come up in their conversations with other believers. Our culture hasn't silenced us, we have talked ourselves into silence. Where Christians should be having an impact, they are stepping aside instead of stepping up.
If you want to break your silence and shine a light into this culture, be sure to request the book Making a Difference by R.C. Sproul.
