Join Pastor Peter as he takes us through Genesis chapter 16, and looks at the blunder of Abram and Sarai with Hagar. These narrative depictions of the reality of mankind’s heart ring true for us in our lives too. Have a listen! “God forgives you, but He is a good Father.” -Pastor Peter “We’re all re-enacting the fall of the garden of Eden in new and creative ways.” -Pastor Peter “Abram, in this story, is the head in name only.” -Pastor Peter “The man is the head, and the woman is the heart.” -Pastor Peter “We think ‘head’ means rational, logical, and the ‘heart’ means irrational; that’s not what I mean.” -Pastor Peter “The head orders the priorities, the heart responds intuitively and passionately to those priorities.” -Pastor Peter “The heart knows more than the head at any given time.” -Pastor Peter “It is loved good when it is loved ordinately…” -St. Augustine (City of God) “We have mis-ordered priorities.” -Pastor Peter “God wants to properly order our affections.” -Pastor Peter “Perhaps Sarai is carrying out her husband’s priorities to their logical conclusion.” -Pastor Peter “Abram prioritized his calling above his marriage.” -Pastor Peter “The priority of his life was his own success.” -Pastor Peter “Abram set the priorities of the home; Sarai is responding, as the heart, to the priorities that have been set.” -Pastor Peter “Jesus had a job, He was a carpenter. That’s not what we know Him for; He died to protect the church [His bride], not be known as a Carpenter.” – Pastor Peter “Submission is not in conflict with challenging.”-Pastor Peter “Godly submission is a respect for the role and a questioning so you can, in good conscience, do what you do unto the Lord.” -Pastor Peter “Submission is not timidity.” -Pastor Peter “Timidity is obedience borne out of fear, cowardice and feeling less than.” -Pastor Peter “Godly submission is obedience borne out of what is right.” -Pastor Peter “If you, husband, say, ‘I don’t get my wife,’ well, that’s your one job!” -Pastor Peter Romans 2, Psalm 73, Genesis 3:16, Ephesians 5:25-29, 1 Peter 3:1-7, Isaiah 61:1-3 #love #truth #bible #calvarychapel #calvarymarana #abram #genesis #hagar #obedience #submission #submit #Jesus #tucson #marana #maranaaz #right #good #head #heart #husband #wife #home #marriage #marriageproblems #priorities #affection
