Men and women possess equal dignity, value, and standing before God, but biblical equality does not require identical roles within the church. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains the nature of pastoral ministry and why complementarian Christians believe Scripture reserves the office of pastor or elder for biblically qualified men. He also celebrates the essential ministry of faithful women and considers how Christians can discuss this important subject with biblical clarity, Christlike compassion, and firm conviction.

Pastor Kevin continues his series: Encounters With Jesus.

By praying "Your will be done," we are aligning ourselves to become settled and pleased with whatever manner our loving Father has decided that it is best to bless us, and we desire to attain full acceptance and genuine thankfulness. 1. Jesus taught that our Father guides us through prayer – so that prayer is a large part of discovering God's will for us. (v.10b) 2. Jesus showed us by His own example that our Father guides us through both prayer and through His Word. (v.10b) 3. What helps us to keep on accepting God's will, whenever it is difficult for us to embrace, is to keep on speaking to our Father about it, and to keep aligning our attitudes to become more grateful and more welcoming toward the wisdom of our Father's will and His timing. (v.10b) How can we unpack and understand this petition? What did OT saint see only dimly and far off, and we profess? Rm. 8:15. Why are prayer and Bible reading to be kept together? Dt. 29:29 Where did Jesus learn about the will of His Father? Dt. 8:3, 6:16, 6:13

What does biblical partnership in missions look like—and what can keep Christians from taking part? Third John contrasts two very different responses to gospel work through the examples of Gaius and Diotrephes. In Two Responses to Missions, 3 John shows Gaius faithfully receiving, supporting, and helping gospel workers continue their journey, while Diotrephes rejects them because of his desire for preeminence. The message challenges believers to become "fellow helpers to the truth" by praying, giving, encouraging, and partnering with those carrying the gospel forward for Jesus' name.

2 Timothy 3:13 'But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.' The sermon examines the prophecy in 2 Timothy 3 that evil men and seducers will wax worse and worse, identifying this as a hallmark of the last days. It connects current societal and legislative trends in the United Kingdom to the moral and spiritual decline described by Paul, comparing the era to the days of Noah and Lot. The message emphasises that while religious forms may persist, the power of the gospel is often denied in an age of deception. Believers are instructed to respond not with despair or compromise, but by steadfastly continuing in the holy Scriptures and standing firm for the truth, as Moses did against Pharaoh. The sermon concludes with the assurance that God will limit the progress of wickedness and ultimately judge the folly of those who resist His Word.
