God Ordered Humanity (Men, Women, Pastors)

God Ordered Humanity

Points:
1. Because humans were sinful, men are now to be the spiritual leaders.
a. Gen. 1:26-28; 3:16-19
2. Men and women are created to complement one another.
a. Ephesians 5:1-2; 21-33
3. A Pastor is defined in the Bible.
a. 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:9; Acts 20:28; 1 Peter 5:2-3; 2 Timothy 4:2
4. The office of Pastor is for men.
a. 1 Tim. 2:11-14, 1 Cor. 14:40

What does all this mean for Christians?
1. We must only ordain men pastors for spiritual leadership.
2. We must value the calling and giftedness of all people in the church.
3. We must lovingly model our roles.
4. We must hold the spiritual leaders in our associations to the same standard.
