In a culture that constantly redefines identity, authority, and roles, Scripture calls us back to something better — God’s design.
In this sermon, we consider what the Bible teaches about men and women in the life of the church. Far from being restrictive or culturally bound, these roles are rooted in creation itself. Paul grounds his instruction not in preference or tradition, but in the order God established from the beginning — an order that reflects the very harmony of the Trinity.
We explore how authority and submission function within the church, why men are called to lead and shepherd, and how women serve in vital and indispensable ways that strengthen the body of Christ. These distinctions are not about value or worth, but about structure, responsibility, and obedience to God’s revealed will.
When the church embraces God’s design, it does not lose freedom — it flourishes. Built according to His Word, the church becomes a visible display of His wisdom, goodness, and glory.
