There has been much discussion in the church throughout the centuries about I Timothy 2:8-15. The topic of men and women leading worship has been contentious, confusing, and divisive. Paul writes to Timothy advising him of 3 key practices in the church in chapters 2 and 3 of I Timothy. Who we pray for in the church and why (2:1-7). The manner in which men and women lead in public worship (2:8-15). And, finally, how the church leadership is structured and who is qualified to lead (3:1-16). This middle section on men and women in public worship is going to be our focus in the next 2 weeks.
This week revolves around prayer in worship. Next week involves specifically women’s role in public worship. I’m praying that the Lord leads us in how we should think about this important passage. May we come to the Bible with curiosity, careful interpretation, and the desire to please God with our attitudes and actions. I look forward to preaching with conviction the next two Sundays!
“I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling.” - I Timothy 2:8
