1 Corinthians is full of thorny and tough texts. In this message, we come to toughest text in our study so far, 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, where Paul addresses headship and head coverings.

The world looks one way from ground level. But it looks very different when we get up above it. In 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, the Apostle Paul takes us higher and invites us to see the earth-shaking, life-changing, future-shaping impact of Jesus' resurrection.
