2025-06-29: Pastor Mark Quist – Let’s Go Back, To Go Forward: Head Coverings? What to do with passages of questioning.
We have just wrapped up 1st Corinthians and plan to dive into 2nd Corinthians next week… but we need to go back to go forward to cover a text I skipped as we walked through 1st Corinthians. You may have noticed, you may not have noticed. We came to this text about the time I had a quest pastor come to preach in my absence. And I thought, “This isn’t fair to give the guest preacher this text coming next.” So I gave the option for the guest speaker to take the following chapters to preach on and there was no hesitation to move past the text I’m speaking on this Sunday.
The text for Sunday is 1 Corinthians 11:1-15. This text is challenging for us today for several reasons. We read it and go, “Huh?” What does that mean? Women must keep their head covered in worship? How do we understand this? 1st, ‘A text without a context is a pretext for trouble.’ 2nd, we can relax and be humble, there must be some good ways to understand this text that make sense. Sometimes we like to read the Bible literally, others times we don’t (depending on our opinion or comfort level, or personal interpretation.) Today, we are challenged by understanding the context then and making the connection to our context today. So, we will rely on tried and true ‘rules’ for interpretation of Scripture: grammer, genre, historical context, theology, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. So no worries.
And here is another good rule, “Scripture interprets Scripture.” Looking forward to seeing you Sunday, God’s Word and God’s Spirit is life!
