“YOUR DAUGHTERS WILL PROPHESY”

When the Hebrew prophet Joel spoke forth these Spirit-inspired words, he was in a patriarchal world where women did not normally prophesy. When Jesus came, he included women in his circle of disciples, a Rabbi’s disciples were to go out and become Rabbis themselves. When the Holy Spirit is poured out and the Charismatic ministry of Christ becomes the Charismatic ministry of the Church, Peter declares that “your daughters will prophesy...even women!” This is radical and disrupts gender-based assumptions we take from our cultures and try to baptize. This Sunday we look at one of the “BUT BUT BUT Paul said...” texts in scripture and will argue from a conservative, high view of the Bible that women should speak the Word of the Lord and be pastors and teachers. You don’t have to agree, we are a big tent, but we all need to understand this approach to the text.  Acts 2:16-21, 1 Timothy 2:8-15, Philippians 4:2,3   NOTES: https://www.pilgrimchurch.ca/uploads/1/1/1/2/111299251/2020-11-22_notesdiscussion.pdf QUESTIONS: email [email protected]  TEXT: 604-426-1230  GIVE: https://www.pilgrimchurch.ca/give.htmlCONNECT: https://www.pilgrimchurch.ca/connect
