LIES WE
BELIEVE – Gender Lies
The majority of content must be captured through the audio - Part 1 & Part 2.... Much of the information presented comes from "25 Questions & "10 Lies the Church Tells Women" by J. Lee Grady
INTRO – Slavery story from "Victory over the Darkness"
Remember...Satan is the Father of Lies – to believe and live
out lies means we are following him not God! – This validates the importance of
doing a daily truth workout.
There are no cures
on the road to spiritual and emotional health because the enemy works all of
the time on us. There are however daily victories over lies that we can
consistently have.
GENDER
LIES A few examples…
·
Women
are not equipped nor should they ever lead – they are created to be followers
not leaders
·
Men
do not have the capacity to be as emotional as women
·
Women
are more easily deceived than men
·
A
man needs to ‘cover’ a woman in her ministry activities
·
Men
are analytical, love sports & lack nurturing capabilities
And ..
most women love to shop, have babies, cook and stay home.. men love the remote
control, tv and being in a man cave…
NOT!
What kind
of negative impact do gender lies create?
Discuss
Let’s
look at a few of the lies about women tonight… but first… check out this video.
Lie #1
Women are not equipped nor should they ever lead – they are created to be
followers not leaders
Did Jesus
believe women could lead?
Luke
8:1-3
Just put
: See Acts 1:4-5 next
Acts 2:17 – If Christ commissioned solely men to the ministry of the gospel,
why did He send the power for that mission upon both men and women?
Examples: Samaritan woman (John 4:7-42) vs 39
Mary of
Bethany (see Matthew 26:6-13)
Matthew 26:13
The
Gospel Empowers Women
Biblical
Examples:
Miriam
(see Micah 6:4 & Exodus 15:20)
Deborah (see
Judges 4 and 5)
Huldah
(see 2 Kings 22)
Esther – (see
Esther 4)
Phoebe –
(see Romans 16)
Priscilla
(see Acts 18)
Philip’s
daughters (see Acts 21) - prophetesses
Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor
free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
