Women play prominent roles in many key biblical narratives. At Sinai,…

We will be looking at a biblical view of submission, and what that means. Jesus was submissive, Philippians 2:5-9 , 1 Corinthians 11:3 Therefore it does not mean that you are…

Her Temptation Genesis 2 ends with a succinct description of the innocence of Eden’s paradise: “They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed” (v. 25 NKJV). 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Genesis 3 then introduces the tempter, a serpent. This is clearly…

A pastor was visiting a home of one of the parishioners. At the house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card that had printed “ Revelation 3:20 ” on the back of it for just such an occasion, and stuck it…

Unity The Bible gives us two clear pictures that help us understand the nature of the Church: A Body — We need each other and we are all important even though our functions and they way we do things differ. A Family — We relate to each other as brothers and sister, mother’s and father’s. Just as parents…

Some of the rules that we are going to see today from God’s Word for men and women in the church are not just mere rules. Why? Because they reflect the sort of difference and complementary design God has had for us His image bearers from the very beginning. In fact, this is exactly the ground work that…

13 This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts. Selah 14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning. Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell.…

So I said goodbye to them and set out for Macedonia. 14 But thanks be…
