This is second part looking at the order and economy of man.

Hello, I’m Stephen Buckley and we’re in a series where you will build a biblical worldview through the story of the bible.

We’ve taken time between Genesis 2 and 3 to tighten up our understanding of the order of God’s cosmic kingdom: God’s Order, the order of the field (the universe), the order of the players (those who dwell within the field of play), and last time as we turned to mankind, we began to major on home order and societal order, and today we turn to order within the church.

And as we do that, we are viewing the discussion within the wider context of the bible as a whole. We refreshed our frame of the original order of man in the garden; we briefly surmised the order of man throughout the OT, before turning to the instructions given to us by the apostles.

And so far, we have witnessed the continuity of male-leadership from the first chapters of Genesis to the NT. And as we continue the New Covenant Economy of man, we will examine the so-called controversial passages on church order, and lastly we’ll touch on the order and economy of man within the future kingdom.

Hopefully then, we will have a much better grasp of the universal principles God has delivered to man: proper Christian ordering of activities as players within his field, and under his throne.

By the end of today you should appreciate the gravity and urgency of why this subject is of such significance, especially upon the hour the church finds herself. The order of the bride of Christ is no small matter, in the same way the preparation of your bride, or you as the bride, was no small matter.
