Morning: The message, "Worship Life," focused on 1 Tim. 2:8-15. In this passage, Paul offers Timothy guidelines for worship.
Paul begins with a word for men. They are to be prayerful and holy. They are also supposed to put off anger and disputing.
Paul moves on to talking about women. He encourages women to dress modestly, and to adorn themselves with good works. He encourages women to learn with a teachable spirit ("in silence and full submission"). He also instructs Timothy that women are not to teach men, or have authority over them.
Paul's instruction to Timothy ends with a difficult verse to understand. In 1 Timothy 2:15, Paul writes, "but she will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with all propriety." There are several possible meanings. The most likely understanding is that Paul is thinking about the redemption that was promised to woman in Genesis 3:15. The seed of woman would come and crush the serpent. Even if we don't fully understand Paul's meaning, we can be certain that Timothy possessed enough knowledge to understand.
Evening: We had another movie tonight. We had a good crowd. It was a fun time.
