Series: Turning Houses Into Homes

Speaker: Kris Segrest

This sermon addresses the biblical model of womanhood and the traditional family structures. Pastor Kris examines the story of Jezebel from 1 Kings 21 as a cautionary example of a controlling, manipulative spirit that opposes God's design for women. He emphasizes that men and women are created equal in value but different in design—not competitors but completers of one another. The message challenges women to embrace biblical femininity characterized by submission to godly authority, honesty, and teachability, rather than control and manipulation. Pastor Kris also addresses how both genders can exhibit these negative traits and calls for a return to biblical patterns in marriage and family life, emphasizing that women have intrinsic value as image-bearers of God with unique gifts, including the ability to create life.
