“Women in the Church” (1 Timothy 2:11–15)

Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/March 4, 2015

1 Timothy 2:8–15 (NIV)

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. 

 

if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. (1 Tim. 3:15, NIV)

 

Main Idea: God has designed and ordered his church to be led by male elders and teachers.

 

Christian women demonstrate their godliness by learning in the church with a quiet and submissive spirit (11).

Christian women remain true to their God-given femininity by submitting to male leadership in the church (12–14).

Christian women demonstrate their sanctification when they embrace their God-ordained feminine roles (15).
