Women Speaking in the Church

Sunday, May 29, 2011
Led by Eric Gintert
Last Sunday, while going through 1 Corinthians 14, we had a question about whether or not women should be allowed to speak in the church. So, this Sunday we went back through 1 Corinthians 14 and discussed the issue.

  • 1 Corinthians 11:3  -  the order of headship... God --> Jesus --> Man --> Woman; the man is the woman's head covering
    • *** See Genesis 3:16 ***
  • Isaiah 3:12  -  a prophecy being fulfilled today where children are oppressors and women are ruling and we are being destroyed
    • *** During WWII, while the men went to war, the women worked to make supplies for the military and to provide for their families. The problem with this is that, after the war, the women never came back home. So they are still out their in the workforce ruling more and more. ***
  • 1 Corinthians 14:1-23  -  There is chaos in this church at Corinth. There are people doing these spiritual gifts to look "Christian". People are just claiming the gift when it hasn't been given to them of God to use.
  • 1 Corinthians 14:24-26  -  there was not authority in this assembly... everyone was doing something but it wasn't unto edification.
  • 1 Corinthians 14:27-33  -  There are people coming in with various doctrines and teachings which is causing confusion; God is not the author of confusion
  • 1 John 4:1  -  believe not every spirit but try the spirit; many false prophets are come into the world
    • *** Just like Harold Camping saying that the end of the world was going to come on May 21st (now predicted to be October 21st). Harold Camping is a false prophet who is causing confusion and we all need to try the spirit of those who proclaim to know the time and hour of the Lord's return. ***
  • 1 Corinthians 14:34-40  -  The Corinthians were saying that the woman should keep silent in the church and that they should ask their husbands at home if they are to learn anything. In other words, the Corinthians were taking the law and becoming legalistic (meaning they were adding unto what the law said and making more rules). Paul then asks them why they are doing this (verse 36). Then Paul says "But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant."
    • *** According to the qualifications of a bishop (1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1) and 1 Timothy 2:12, a woman is not permitted to preach or teach in a church. Therefore woman are not to hold office as a bishop, deacon, or elder.  A woman is also commanded by God not to usurp authority over the man (regardless if in a church assembly or otherwise).  However, testimonies, prayer requests, and questions are of God and can be asked of by young and old, male or female, free or bond....but it must be done decently and in order (1Cor. 14:40). ***

Don't Be Naked! - Loins Girt with Truth

The Whole Armor of God This Week: Loins Girt with Truth Click image to enlarge. Sunday, October 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God is meant to protect us, that we may be able to stand against the powers and principalities that come against us. What are the Loins Girt about with Truth for? The loins help you to stand. They give you support to stand. They help you to get up when you've fallen. John 8:31-32 The truth makes you free and you'll know His disciples because they continue in His Word. John 14:6 Jesus is the  way, the  truth, and the  life. He is NOT a  way, a  truth, or a  life. Hebrews 13:8-9 The truth of Jesus does not change. Don't be carried away with diverse and strange doctrines. The truth is being trodden down in our day and age. He did not leave us blind in the Word.  How much are we putting our trust in the Lord? We must put on the truth so we're not ca...

Freaking out in Times of Peace

Sunday, June 24, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Encouragement from the Lord that He is our rock and fortress, He is our peace in the storm... so stop FREAKING OUT! :-) Psalm 3:1-8 The enemy is not necessarily people coming against him, but powers and principalities (spiritual warfare). The battle is often in the mind with doubt, depression, etc. This is why we are commanded not to be fearful of the one who destroys the body, but the one who destroys the soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28) David knew that God was his shield and strong tower, his protector. Matthew 8:23-27 In the midst of the storm, Jesus was sleeping in the bottom of the boat. Even when everyone else was freaking out, Jesus was at peace. Peace was right their in the ship with them, and they were freaking out! Jesus rebuked them saying, "Why are ye fearful, o ye of little faith?" Prayer Requests Fields Family  -  house to rent Joel F. mom & dad  -  mom going through 4 surgery...

Is There Oil in Your Lamp?

Sunday, March 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Matthew 25:1-13 The lamp represents your heart. The oil represents the Holy Spirit. When the virgins heard the announcement that the bridegroom was come, they were excited. Unfortunately only five of them were prepared. For the five foolish virgins, their fire went out when nothing exciting was happening. Then, when the excitement came, they didn't have enough oil to get the fire started again.  The five wise virgins knew that they couldn't give the oil (Holy Spirit) to the other women. You can live your life however you want, like the foolish virgins did, and expect to get right with God at the end of your life after you've done everything you wanted first. It's too late at that point because the door was shut. Matthew 24:36-39 The last days will be like it was in the days of Noah. Evil imaginations in the heart of man was (and now is) rampant on earth. Genesis 7:1,16 God called Noah and his family int...
