No man can be the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church unless he is Saved by grace! 3. Being the husband of a Christian woman is an act of God’s Grace. a. The men hired at Five would hire in first the next morning. b. I work in an office where I am the only Male employee. Leadership requires giving Yourself away. c. To be a leader, the Christian husband must Give himself to his wife and children. d. The Husband gives by serving Unselfishly. 1. vs. 20-24 is an example of Selfish service. 2. vs. 17-19 is the example of Unselfish service. 3.
