Sermon - Jeff Raines - When Women Pray and Preach [1 Corinthians 11:2-26]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On one hand, there are passages of Scripture, taken in isolation, that appear to prohibit women from leading or even speaking in worship (1 Timothy 2:11-12). On the other hand, there are passages of Scripture, taken in isolation, that appear to allow women to express a full range of giftedness by the Spirit for ministry (Acts 2:17-18). Therefore, believers can honestly and diligently engage with God’s Word and be led to different conclusions- and still cooperate together on our witness and mission.
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female for you are all one in Christ.” Galatians 3:28
Two books of the Bible are named after women, there were at least three women prophetesses, Deborah was a judge and leader of Israel, the Samaritan woman proclaimed Jesus as Messiah, Mary was a disciple, the first witnesses of the resurrection were women, Phoebe was a deacon (Romans 16:1), Priscilla was a coworker in Christ (Romans 16:3) and a teacher of Apollos (Acts 18:26), and Junia was outstanding among apostles (Romans 16:7).
We can disagree and work agreeably for God’s Kingdom and Jesus’ Great Commission. We should diligently seek God’s truth in Scripture with humility. We’ve seen women teaching, praying, witnessing, serving, leading, and prophesying in Scripture and we’ve seen the fruit of that in our lives.
