Introduction: We have mentioned already that this book is one of the Pastoral Epistles - consisting of 1 and 2 Timothy as well as Titus. And we discussed how these books are all about order in the church. Well today we come to a difficult passage for our culture. This is a sermon that was really not…

Intro As you learn to ride a motorcycle, one of the things you have to learn to do is fight your feelings. Sometime your natural instincts will get you killed. God made our reactions to work best at a running pace, but when you start going 60kph, or 100kph with a hunk of metal with over 100hp between…

Question: Why is the issue of male and female roles so important? We’re not just talking about what guys and girls do in terms of hobbies or general behavior differences, but also about what it means to be a man or a woman. It’s important to understand this from a biblical perspective because confusion…

Question: If a church embraces a congregational form of governance in which the congregation, not the elders, is the highest authority under Christ and Scripture, should women be allowed to vote? Yes. 22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among…

Introduction Today we will be in the second half of chapter 2 of 1 Timothy if you all would like to turn there. Last week we finished Paul’s first instruction for church conduct. Paul has become aware that there are elders in the church that are teaching false doctrine and leading people astray. As the…

It’s a joy to be here with you today as we gather in the name of the Lord Jesus to worship Him and enjoy Him together. I’m thankful to have the opportunity to proclaim the truth today that our…

1 Timothy 2:9-3:16 Good morning church! Growth groups are beginning again very soon and will run from the first week in May through the last week in June. We will be taking a break then for the summer and resuming our midweek bible study here at the church on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm. So we have…

1 Timothy 2:8-3:9 Good morning Church! I want to welcome you all here this morning. If you are brand new here, especially if you were with us last weekend, you might be looking around wondering in fear if you missed the rapture with all of our godly women, well not all, but the majority of our women…

I. How Men Are to Pray in Church 8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension. The Letters to Timothy and Titus (A. Instructions on Worship (2:1–15)) Robert Yarbrough “Lifting up holy hands” evokes a repeated OT image of godly men imploring God…

The last few days have captured my attention as the world responded to the death of Queen Elizabeth. One particular video caught me off guard as the new King Charles III processed through some random city in the UK and a sole heckler yelled derisions. Almost immediately, the crowd drowned out this man’s…

1 Tim 2:8-14 No Girls Allowed! I’d like to answer the simple question, “What can women do in a worship service?” On one hand, this question sounds awkward or unusual because God created men and women as co-equal persons. Both genders equally express God’s image and both share equally important roles…

V. MAN: his direct creation in the image of God ( Gen 1:26-28 ), his subsequent fall into sin resulting in spiritual death ( Gen 3:1-24 ; Rom 5:12 ), and the necessity of the new birth for his salvation ( John 3:3-5 ). [We believe in the recent, direct creation of the heavens, the earth, and all their…

I remember one summer Sunday 2 decades ago. We decided as a family, at the last minute, to spend Sunday afternoon with the grandparents who lived at the lake. We were blessed that my parents lived close enough that we could see them for an afternoon, yet it was still far enough that it took two hours…

This morning we will light the peace candle for the first time. For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple…

Know your Context If I treated a zoo like a park. If I treated a mall like a skate park. If I treated a classroom like a boxing ring. If I treated a church like a fashion runway. Knowing our context is vital and it is no different in scripture. As we read and study we must be aware of the context in…

This morning we are continuing a series on the role of women in the church. Specifically, my aim is to teach what the NT has to say about women reading Scripture publically in the church and women praying publically in the church. Historically, in our circles, this is not something that we have practiced.…

Pastor James takes us through 1st Timothy 2-3.

Instructions God gives plenty of instructions in scripture. 1Timothy is chuck full of them on how to conduct ourselves as the church (key verse: 1Tim3:14-15). 14 I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long; 15 but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought…

Are Woman Pastors or Preachers Biblical? For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Base on that Scripture how much of the Word of God should a preacher preach. How many of the doctrines and teachings should he teach. Are any Scriptures less important than others in their authority?…

There are two basic views that dominate society when it comes to the respective roles of men and women. Let’s examine those views for just a moment today. • Egalitarianism —This view states that men and women are absolute equals in every area of life. This is the dominate view of modern feminism. Under…

However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. This is the theme driving the second chapter of Paul's letter to Timothy. As before, he is continuing to build on his two…

Trust 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. 8 It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones.…

Palm Sunday Foretold by the Prophets 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 22 The stone which the builders rejected…

Where do we start? 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. What do we tend to fear? The unknown…

John Macarthur and further back the SBC have made Women’s roles in the life of the church a front and center issue. The SBC had knuckle heads making statements like… a women in my pulpit… never . Then a couple of weeks ago, John MacArthur made the satement about Beth Moore… stay home. Unfortunately today…
