Gender Roles

What an EXCITING week for Torch Community Church. Our attendance exploded this week, with 46 in attendance counting children! And since we discussed the oh so sensitive subject of the role of women in ministry, I expect next week to be down to 20! Haha. It is great to see so many people getting excited for Torch and the positive refreshing atmosphere that we have together as a loving community. No arguing (men), no drama (ladies), just a loving and welcoming group of people trying to take the next step in their individual journey with Christ...together.

We did discuss the Biblical definitions of Manhood and Womanhood. And concluded that God has indeed created and called men to lead and women to come alongside them and to compliment them in their leadership. Women in the church need their men to take initiative and to lead. Men in the church need their women to empower and strengthen them, to support and complete them in their leadership. And together, we can look and behave much more like God than we ever could separately.

And the challenge then for all of us is to get involved in order to edify and support Torch. Be a positive! Contribute. Find a ministry, fill a need, take initiative, and then serve with passion!

See you next week and we examine Right Leadership,

Isaiah 60:1-2
Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord shines over you.
For look, darkness covers the earth,
and total darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will shine over you,
and His glory will appear over you.
