    Why must women be silent in the church? Should we take this to the extreme or ignore it entirely? Join me as we look at the context to this highly-debated verse and, after looking at the context, come to a surprisingly easy conclusion.

    https://onwardinthefaith.com/why-must-women-keep-silent-in-church-explaining-1-corinthians-1434-35/

    00:00 Intro

    3:18 Two potential issues

    6:29 Important observations

    7:00 It applies to all churches

    10:14 The context of the command

    14:31 The context of "silent"

    16:00 Why is it disgraceful?

    20:30 Explaining 1 Corinthians 14:34: Women can pray or prophesy in church but cannot judge prophecy or the prophets who give them.

    24:06 Considerations for today

    24:23 Prophecy isn't teaching

    26:08 Will we let feminism interpret this passage?

    30:00 Do we have a healthy view of women in the church?

    30:56 Honoring God's command as a cessationist

    32:16 Women or married women?

    Romans 8:28 is one of the most common verses you'll find on a coffee mug or living room wall. Christians and unbelievers are familiar with God's promise to work things out for good. But what does "good" mean? Join me as I look at how we tend to misunderstand this verse and then dig into the beautiful promise God gives us.

    Join me as we begin studying 1 Peter. This will walk you through how I study, showing you the questions I ask and the answers I arrive at. I hope this study makes you delight in God's word and encourages you to dig deeper in your own Bible study time!

    In these early verses, we get familiar with the setting, writer, and audience before spending a lot of time focusing on a term that is central to everything Peter is about to say - what it means to their identity, obedience, and life as God's "chosen."
