Sermon Title: “Does the Bible Really Say... Women Should Be Quiet in Church?”
OUR Clergy
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 14:33b-35 As in all the churches of the saints, women should be silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as the law also says. If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 Let a woman learn in silence with full submission. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty. Galatians 3:28 There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Indianapolis Project March 7-8 and 14-15 • 8AM-2:30PM St. Luke’s is partnering to rehab the home of Stephanie Eppert who was critically injured and lost two children in a fire last fall.
