Who Are Men & Who Are Women? (I Timothy 2:8-9)

This passage assumes that we already have a grasp on God’s purpose for men and women. Paul assumes that is basic and elementary, but in our society today, unfortunately for many this is not the case.

Paul refers back to Genesis 1, 2, and 3 — so, there is something that we need to know from Genesis before we can make sense of 1 Timothy. With this sermon, we are going to go back to the basics and seek to give a concise theology of the sexes. I am using the word “sexes” intentionally because I am trying to get at the normal, natural, biological reality of men and women. 

Now, we are called to honor God's design in an Age of Confusion. We are living in a day where the world has lost its mind. The culture we see around us is not just confused—it is in open rebellion against the God of the universe.

It has forsaken truth, rejected creation, and shaken its fist at the Almighty. One of the clearest battlegrounds of that rebellion is the denial of God’s design for men and women.

• The world hates
• It hates the order of creation.
• It hates the headship of man.
• It hates the beauty of biblical womanhood.

And it will shout down, cancel, and destroy anyone who dares to stand against its radical self-destruction. And yet, stand, we must!

• We must not compromise.
• We must not waver.
• We must not shrink back in fear.

Because this is not about personal preference or cultural tradition—this is about God’s glory. This is about obedience to His Word. This is about whether we will bow to the spirit of this age or whether we will submit to the unchanging and holy authority of Scripture.
