1 Corinthians: Chapter 11

July 20, 2025 • Nfluence Church

Featuring: Pastor Lucas Miles

In this insightful and thought-provoking message, Pastor Lucas Miles tackles one of the most debated passages in the New Testament — 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 — where Paul addresses the issue of head coverings.

Far from being just a cultural footnote, this passage opens up a rich conversation about authority, gender distinction, and functional submission in the life of the church. With clarity and depth, Pastor Lucas explores multiple viewpoints — from the traditional and literal, to the cultural/contextual, to the symbolism of hair as a covering — helping believers navigate this complex teaching without falling into legalism or confusion.

But this isn't just about head coverings. It's about honoring God’s design, walking in humility, and understanding how eternal principles can still shape how we live today. Whether you've wrestled with this passage before or are encountering it for the first time, this message will challenge assumptions, spark reflection, and point you back to the heart of God’s Word.
