Should Christian women wear head coverings to church? In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul says women who pray with their heads uncovered dishonor their “head.” He talks about shaved heads, long hair, creation, headship, angels. And somehow expects the Corinthians to understand what he means. So…what are we supposed to do with 1 Corinthians 11 today? Was Paul simply giving a cultural opinion? Is every Christian woman actually supposed to wear a head covering to church? Or is Paul giving us an authoritative biblical principle through a first-century cultural practice? And perhaps the bigger question: what do our clothing, appearance, relationships, and behavior communicate about our theology?

Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from August 9, 2026. Paul addresses a difficult passage about head coverings, men and women, and authority by looking at the cultural setting of first-century Corinth and pointing to the larger principle of voluntary submission. The teaching emphasizes that husbands and wives are equal in value before God while having different roles within marriage, with Christ ultimately being the head of every believer. Pastor Ed explains that many of the specific practices surrounding hair and head coverings reflected Corinthian culture rather than a dress code Christians must follow today. He closes by pointing to the way Jesus valued women and reminding us that the greater question is whether we have willingly surrendered our lives to Christ. - Ed Rea - Sunday, August 9, 2026

What really happens when we come to the Lord's Table? In today's reflection, Andy continues exploring 1 Corinthians 11 by looking at the meaning of Holy Communion through the Wesleyan tradition. More than a ritual or remembrance, Communion is a sacrament—a means of grace through which Christ meets us in a real and powerful way. Together, we'll reflect on why the Lord's Table is central to Christian worship, how Communion retells the story of Jesus, and why we should always come with expectant hearts, ready to encounter the living Christ.Join us for our daily reflections. In 10 short minutes, we'll dig a little deeper into Scripture and help us better understand God's Word.You can read today's passage here.Click here if you'd like to join our GroupMe and receive this each morning at 7:00 a.m. CST.

What does Paul really mean when he warns about taking Communion "in an unworthy manner"? For many Christians, these verses have been associated with fear and anxiety about approaching the Lord's Table. In today's reflection, Andy explores 1 Corinthians 11 in its original context and explains why the Wesleyan understanding of Communion is rooted in grace rather than gatekeeping. By looking at what was actually happening in the Corinthian church, we discover that Paul's concern wasn't hidden sin as much as it was divisions, exclusion, and failing to welcome one another. It's an invitation to see the Lord's Table as Christ intended—a place where grace is offered freely to all who come.Join us for our daily reflections.

Culture is loud, identity is fragile, and the church can drift without noticing. We sit down and get honest about what's been forming us lately, from family seasons and ministry travel to what we're seeing in students who genuinely want “the things of old” back, especially manners and respect. That real-life thread sets up a deeper spiritual question: if we say we follow Jesus, what does our life actually reflect?We walk through 1 Corinthians 11 with the kind of pastoral clarity that doesn't aim to impress, but to restore. Paul's warning to Corinth still lands today: when the church absorbs the idols and categories of the world, we stop reflecting Christ and start mirroring whatever we used to serve. We talk Christian identity, image-bearing, and why labeling ourselves by politics, success, status, or any identity above Jesus quietly breeds pride, comparison, and division.Then we move to the communion table, where Corinth's rich believers humiliated the poor and turned the Lord's Supper into something harmful. Communion is meant to pull us back to the cross, back to unity, and back to a serious moment of self-examination. We close with prayer, repentance, and a clear invitation to surrender what we've been carrying so we can live with clarity and peace in Christ.

In today's episode of Reflections with Andy, we explore one of the more challenging passages in 1 Corinthians as Paul discusses head coverings, worship, and cultural customs in the church. Rather than reading these verses in isolation, we consider the importance of understanding Scripture in its historical and literary context. This passage reminds us that while cultural practices may change, the gospel does not. As we learn to read the Bible carefully and faithfully, we discover that our focus should always be on honoring Christ, loving our neighbors, and keeping the good news of Jesus at the center of our lives.Join us for our daily reflections.

Paul uses a person's body to explain how the body of Christ is to function. He says we are one body that serves the same Lord, worships the same God, and is filled with one Spirit, the Holy Spirit that comes from the One True God we worship! He uses the foot, the hand, the ear, the eyes, and the nose to prove his point. What's his point? That each body part is necessary for the body to function properly. If a foot is missing, it's harder to walk; if an hand is missing, it's harder to grasp things etc. each person in the body of Christ has been given a gift, or gifts, by the Holy Spirit and it is crucial for them to be present when the church meets to function properly. When one suffers, we all suffer. You have a gift the I do not and vice versa. We need each other, to encourage one another to continue in our walk with Jesus. We work together, not against one another. The body is not divided, like the church at Corinth, but it was designed to work together, to produce nutrients and waste. Noi matter how insignificant you seem to feel, you are needed in the body of Christ!
As we have seen from the previous chapters, there was division in this church. It was made of three different cultures: Jew, Greek, and Roman. Trying to get Jews and Gentiles to mesh together and be one was very challenging for Paul, especially when he was away from the congregation. One would think when the church came together to take Communion, or the Lord's Supper, they would be unified, but they were far from it. The rich were far from it as they hoarded the food and got drunk off the wine while the poor people in the church were left completely out! The issue is their heart. Their heart is focused on themselves and not Jesus and Paul is writing to correct this matter.

Paul tells the men they should not wear a head covering while telling the women to wear one. Then he says the women have long hair for a covering and men should not have long hair. Is this even an issue in the church for today? Is this a “culture” thing? We like to say it is because in our western church culture in 2026, this is not an issue. Very few women wear a head covering and when they do, it's a hat. With men, some wear hats during services, including preachers and worship leaders, and some men have long hair which goes totally against what Paul says! So, what is the deal? And how can we pick and choose what is cultural and what is not? For example, Paul says a woman is not permitted to speak yet even in this chapter he is talking about women praying! We discuss it all in this episode... www.thegote.org www.marygamboamusic.com
In this message from 1 Corinthians 11, Pastor J.D. picks up the most fundamental element of Christian worship—the bread and the cup of communion. When we share this meal together, we aren't merely remembering Jesus' last meal. We are entering into his presence. Come to this table. There is no place for religious pride here. No place for classism. No place for racial division. But there is a place for you.

In this message from our “Cutting Through the Noise” series, Pastor J.D. walks through one of the most confusing and misinterpreted passages in the entire New Testament. Along the way, we'll learn just how relevant first-century head coverings are for the hot button questions about gender (and gender identity) in the twenty-first. And we'll see that in Christ's service, every brother and sister finds unimaginable grace, inestimable value, and eternal purpose.

Paul is going to bring order to the chaos at the church in Corinth. Since we started studying this letter, we have seen all kinds of chaos in this church and it is going to get worse before it gets better. Paul begins to instruct them how to conduct themselves as they come together as one body and he immediately establishes the order of authority which tells me there were some women who were out of order and dishonoring the authority God has set in place. Any time this takes place, chaos ensues. Paul goes back to Creation when God created the human race, the order He created male and female and how He created male and female. God created the male human being then placed him in the Garden of Eden. Then He took a rib from the male human being, and created a female human being. This is why Paul says God is the ultimate authority, man is next in authority, then the female. In today's society, we try to re-establish authority and it does not line up with God's will, whether we like that or not.
Paul says to the church at Corinth, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ.” The word in the Greek is where we get our word “mimic.” Paul is saying that he has such a close relationship with Jesus that he mimics him in everything he does and therefore, he can say to the believers, “Y'all mimic me because I am mimicking, I am acting just like Jesus.” Can we say that? Are we acting just like Jesus? What if someone was to follow your lead? Where would you lead them? To Jesus? Away from Jesus? Is your walk with Christ like a rollercoaster, up and down, turning all around, then back to the station? Or is it solid, trustworthy, stable, steady so that you can lead others to the immovable stone, the solid rock, Jesus?
The church in a rich and diverse capital city like Corinth struggled with living out the implications of the gospel. This was even evident in the way they celebrated worship and ate meals together. The rich enjoyed their wealth, feasting in front of the poor in their community who lacked food.
1 Corinthians 11:17-26 Selected verses17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it…….21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
