Worship Guide for August 21

August 19, 2022


Prepare for Sunday morning worship by using the guide below. 

1 Timothy 2:8-15

I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. 11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, 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 became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.


Watch the Sermon

livestreamupdatedSummary: Paul is writing to Timothy to give instruction on how we ought to behave in the household of God while in a broken world. Last week, Paul instructed Timothy on the role of prayer in corporate worship. This week, Paul gives more instruction for corporate worship, specifically, how men and women participate for worship. It seems that false teachers had sown seeds of division and offered freedoms that were causing dissension in the church. In some of the most challenging verses in this book, even the New Testament, we see how men and women worship God in the gathered community.
