1st Timothy Chapter 2

So what do I do?

INSTRUCTIONS ON PRAYER

2 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time.

7 For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MEN AND WOMEN

8 Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument. 9 Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel, 10 but with good works, as is proper for women who profess to worship God. 11 A woman is to learn quietly with full submission. 12 I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed. 15 But she will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with good sense.

Pray Often and Mind your own Business

Mental and emotional exhaustion of nothing ever stopping

How often do you pray for someone instead of talk about theme

Even if you are on the bad end how often do you pray for your gossiper instead of run your mouth

We have got to quit tearring people down just because you are insecure

If it is not your business If it does not involve you personally. It is not for you to talk about

One God, One Option, One Message

We struggle with this because of our hope in ourselves

We struggle with this because of doubt

The difference is our God is hope there option is work based

Men and Women be obedient

Ephesus

commands men and women to conduct themselves as God expects. Paul anticipates and addresses men’s tendency to strife (2:8), women’s tendency to preoccupation with outward appearance (2:9–10), and the relevance of God’s created order to leadership structures in the congregation (2:11–15).

lets understand context

Guys

Emotions are a good thing but are not to control you

manliness is not determined by your persona or abilities

Men are humble, kind, compassionate, thoughtful, helpful all in leadership

NOT arrogant, crude, demanding, angry or dominate

A woman is not defined by your apperance or position

Women a humble, kind, compassionate, thoughtful, helpful all in leadership

Not dominering, prideful, cosmetic, gossipy, drama

You are all so much more than what the world defines

We are designed by the created, genitically wired by him. Some of us were wired to be male some of us woman but from the moment of conception there was never a mistake Because God doesnt set you up for failure

What happens is the nature that is rampant in this

Bow your heads

good enough/ pretty enough/ athletic enough/smart enough/ Cool enough/not accepted enough

All we are are broken people

in need of leading a quiet life

pursuing the only God

and appreciating how God has made you

lets pray
