As we open the New Testament, we are invited to pay attention to the significance of women in the life of Jesus. Two of the more prominent women in his life and ministry are Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. Let’s open our Bibles to the gospels to see what we can learn about and from these women and the way Jesus interacts with them both.

But What About…

July 12, 2023 • Pastor Matt Smith, Pastor Jasmyn Denton

But what about Paul’s instruction to Timothy? What about women being silent and learning from their husbands? How do we read these prohibition passages and still think it’s ok for women to speak or teach in church? Today we finish the season having a conversation to address these verses of the Bible that often keep women out of leadership spaces in churches and how we understand and interpret scripture when it seems to be contradictory.

Women in the Early Church

July 5, 2023 • Pastor Matt Smith, Pastor Jasmyn Denton

From Pentecost to the final chapter of Paul’s letter to the Romans, ministry through women in the early church carried the message of Jesus throughout the Greko-Roman world. Women like Phoebe, Junia, Lydia, Priscilla, and more were considered disciples, apostles, co-laborers, deacons, and ministers. These women are not footnotes of the movement, but leaders - alongside men - who accepted the mission of Jesus to go make disciples of all nations.

Mary Magdalene was not “just another Mary,” but was an essential part of the ministry of Jesus, both before and after his resurrection. Healed by Jesus from seven demons, this woman commits her life as a disciple of Jesus. This conversation takes place mostly in John 20, so open your Bible and let’s get started.
