Do men and women matter equally to God?

from Toongabbie Baptist Church · host Toongabbie Baptist Church

"Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. In our cultural moment, one of the ways in which we can bring glory to God is that we honour in our services. We honour the beauty of God's design in an appropriate way that makes sure that everyone knows that we are equal, that we affirm one another. And so as we do that, as we express the gospel like that, as we live that out, we will display the beauty of the kingdom to the world around us." We are reminded that though the order in worship was flipped upside down at the fall, Christ has redeemed it, that we may serve each other as distinctive but equal people, and shine the love of Jesus through this. 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 (2) I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. (3) But I want you to realise that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. (4) Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonours his head. (5) But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. (6) For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. (7) A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (8) For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; (9) neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. (10) It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels. (11) Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. (12) For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. (13) Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? (14) Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, (15) but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. (16) If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
