Role of Women in the Church

Some Assembly RequiredSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg talks about the role of women in the church, specifically addressing the teaching and speaking activities of women. He cites passages in Corinthians and Timothy that forbid women from teaching authority over men and from speaking in church, and recognizes that this goes against modern cultural beliefs. The speaker notes that Paul may have been attempting to avoid offending the culture by making these statements, and emphasizes that it is important to understand what God is saying and to follow his word.
