Men and Women in Worship: Part 2

March 02, 2025 | Zach Schlegel
Passage: 1 Timothy 2:11-15

Authority, when abused, steals life however, authority when used well, gives life. God, in His wisdom, has designed structures of authority to cause life to flourish. We see this in society with teachers, coaches, police officers, husbands and fathers.


In this text, we see God’s design for authority and structure in the church. A casual reading of this scripture may cause some women to bristle at the words. Are you tempted to skip this text or change it? Some men have used this text to demean and abuse women for selfish or evil purposes. This is wrong and why it is hard to see the good in this text.


We teach this text today because it comes after vs. 10, and ALL scripture is important to read, teach, and preach. (2 Timothy 3:16) God is good. Everything that He says and does is good and for our good. Let’s look at the goodness, wisdom, and beauty of God’s design.
