Questions Week 3 Day 7

by David Joynt on May 20, 2017


DAY 21

MATTHEW 28:1-10

 

 As with so many others areas of life, with respect to women’s leadership, the church has to catch up with Jesus! We began asking is Christianity sexist, and the answer is no—when we are faithful to the Lord. Unfortunately, of course, in many times and places, we have failed to honor and empower women, and the church has been poorer for it. At VPC, we are blessed to have amazing women on our pastoral team and leading many areas of ministry—on our Session and our many committees, as well as in Presbyterian Women, and our women’s ministries. Pray that God will help us use all the gifts of our people to build his Kingdom.

 

 

Thank God for the gals of VPC!

Jesus is the center of history—he is always ahead of the times. Do you agree?
