Women Who Knew God’ for the First Week; and the Women from Mount Carmel Will Share Their Thoughts About ‘Men of Faith’ in the Second Week DAY 1 | Introduction to the Series Opening Song All I’ve Ever Done https://youtu.be/owlQlLyN4W0 Scripture: Selected Scripture texts ​ Women The Bible contains both descriptive and prescriptive text. Much of our direct understanding comes from God’s prescriptions for victorious living. However, historical narratives are essential for our learning. Especially in the Old Testament, there are Bible characters whose lives parallel our modern-day behaviours and circumstances — we are all Adam’s children. In this series, the men from Mount Carmel will share their thoughts about ‘Women Who Knew God’ for the first week; and the women from Mount Carmel will share their thoughts about ‘Men of Faith’ in the second week. God’s Virtuous Women God created the mystical, splendid and diverse complementary nature in men and women. Men and women are created “in the image of God”, and their place in Christ abolishes any subordination of either to the other. Yet, because they are complementary, they cannot be identified one as the other. Here are some notable women and their faith. Mother of Three Nation-builders (Num 26:59) ​ ​ ​ Jochebed was the mother of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. She passed on three traits to them: They didn’t forget their identity as God’s children during difficult times, did not follow Egypt’s gods and they had great compassion for others. Wise Girl Beyond her Age (Exo 2:1-10) ​ ​ ​ Miriam was Moses’ sister. After her mother, Jochebed, nursed Moses for 3 months, she had to send him away as she couldn’t hide him from Pharaoh’s decree to kill every Hebrew baby. When Jochebed put Moses in the basket and into the river, Miriam diligently watched over her brother. And when Pharaoh’s daughter took the baby, Miriam was wise to suggest that a nanny (Jochebad) look after the baby. Moses grew up in the Egyptian palace under the tutelage of his Hebrew mother. When Miriam did these things, she was probably six or seven years old. Civil Rights Daughters (Num. 27:1-11) ​ ​ ​ The daughters of Zelophehad, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirza stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of Israel. They spoke and won the right to inherit their deceased father’s property. Businesswoman (Acts 16:14-15) ​ ​ ​ Lydia of Thyatira sought the Lord and God put it into her heart to support Paul. She was a businesswoman and was pivotal to the spread of Jesus’ name from Philippi. www.carmel.sg/womenwhoknewgod ​ Women who laboured hard for God (Rom 16:1-16) ​ ​ ​ ● Phoebe: a servant and caring patroness of Cenchreae church. ● Mary: a Roman Christian who worked hard. ● Junia: a fellow prisoner like Paul who knew Christ and was well known to the apostles. ● Rufus’ mother: like a mother to Paul. ● Persis: worked hard in the Lord. ● Julia & Olympas: also workers for the Lord. If you feel inadequate today, be encouraged like today’s song: Jesus is on a relentless pursuit with His invincible love, just pray to Him. Prayer Jesus, I struggle sometimes, thinking that You are just my imagination, that somehow, I’ve dreamed You up from bits and pieces of the Bible. But I want to know You in reality, Lord. I ask that You give me the discipline to listen to and obey your Word. O Christ, reveal Yourself to me and shatter my illusions of what I should be. Give me eyes to see, make my heart resonate – May I be the real person You have made me to be. In Christ’s name, amen. By Adrian Ang www.carmel.sg/womenwhoknewgod ​ DAY 2 | Lydia | Acts 16:11-15 Opening Song How Beautiful https://youtu.be/kJM0hFvz_64 Read Scripture: Acts 16:11-15 ​ Lydia from Thyatira “Women hold up half the sky” goes a Chinese saying. Theologically unsound, this saying nevertheless underscores the importance of women. In Singapore, the government is conducting a comprehensive review of issues involving equality and respect for women. Let us pray that other countries, particularly those in Asia, will do likewise. I thank God that in Carmel, our sisters are indeed a positive force, serving actively in key areas such as Sunday School, worship ministry through music and flower arrangement, prayer ministry, visitation/praying for the sick and ladies fellowship. Women in the Bible inspire us in different ways. Lydia is perhaps an atypical woman. Still, her life holds precious lessons for all of us, men included. I cite three take-aways. First, she was a godly woman. A gentile and not yet a believer in the Way. She nevertheless believed in a monotheistic Jewish God, with the concomitant religious and moral injunctions. As it was the Sabbath, she had set aside work related to her thriving business (making and selling dye for the purple cloth common in the region) to spend time with the women by the river to pray to and worship God. As there were not many Jews in Philippi, there was no synagogue in the city. It was there that her life path was changed when she met the apostle Paul and Silas, becoming, in effect, Paul’s first convert in Europe (Acts 16:6-12). Are we like Lydia, taking time to slow down to worship God on the Lord’s Day, despite any weekday preoccupations that bear down on us? Second, Lydia was an independent woman of means, a successful businesswoman who lived in her own house and managed her own household. Even before her conversion, she was self-assured and confident of her identity, subscribing to the Jewish God. When Paul preached by the river that fateful day, Lydia listened and “the Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message”. This first European ​ ​ conversion had not happened by accident. God had primed and prepared Lydia’s heart through her previous life experiences, and had brought her to the river that day and at a time when Paul and Silas also came along. This process is replicated in all conversions where God leads the convert to hear his Word, brought by someone prepared by Him. The person receiving His Word may be in different circumstances -some dire and feeling lost; others like Lydia, self-fulfilled and contented. The learning point for us is to be ready to be vessels used by God to touch lives by sharing the gospel and praying for the salvation of those whom He brings to our path. www.carmel.sg/womenwhoknewgod ​ Third, Lydia displayed practical love by expressing hospitality readily. She must have worked hard and smart to attain her wealth and standing in society. Yet, she knew that, ultimately, it was God who had blessed her with these resources, of which she was only a steward. She exhorted Paul and Silas to stay with her (v.15). This shows that Lydia was a sensitive person. She very likely sensed that Paul and Silas may be unsure about accepting home hospitality from a woman. But she showed poise and good sense in the way she extended the invitation, making it hard for Paul and Silas to say “No” and yet not coming across as being imposing. “If you consider me a ​ believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house” (v.15). In opening her home to ​ God’s messengers, Lydia stands in the New Testament in the position which is occupied by the Shunammite woman in the Old Testament (2 Kgs 4:10) who prepared a prophet’s chamber for Elisha and Gehazi. May all of us who have enough space at home be ever-ready to accommodate God’s workers “so that we may work ​ together for the truth” (3 Jn 8) ​ By Eld Ho Peng Kee www.carmel.sg/womenwhoknewgod ​ DAY 3 | Rahab | Josh 2:1-14, 6:24-25 Opening Song Hide Me Behind the Cross https://youtu.be/JdutvZo201g Read Scripture: Joshua 2:1-24; 6:24-25 ​ Coming Out of Hiding The story of Rahab is a story about hiding. She hid the spies who came to check out her city. The spies hid from the soldiers of Jericho who came looking for them. Rahab hid her faith and told it only to the Israelite spies. When the city was taken, she and her family hid in her home and were spared. Most of all, God hid his purpose in Rahab, for no one could have imagined God using someone like her. In the musical Evita, Eva Peron, the first lady of Argentina, embarks on a tour of ​ ​ Europe. When she lands in Rome, she fumes and complains to her host, “Did you hear that? They call me a whore!” His reply only adds to the sting, “It’s an easy mistake. I am still called an Admiral, yet I gave up the seas long ago.” However we tell her story, one thing stuck with Rahab: her profession as a prostitute. Josephus, the Jewish historian, tried to rehabilitate Rahab’s reputation by re-casting her as an inn-keeper, but few scholars are convinced. In all the references to her in Scriptures, she bore the title “Rahab the harlot.” (Josh 2:1; Heb 11:31; Jas 2:25) Yet, for her faith in the God of Israel and daring decisions to protect the Israelite scouts, she secured a place in the history of Israel. She is listed with great men like Moses, Gideon and Samuel, in the hall of fame as a heroine of faith. Not only that, ​ ​ she found honour with men like Abraham, Isaac and David in the genealogy of the Messiah. Jewish tradition tells us that she converted to the faith of Israel and married ​ ​ Joshua, becoming the ancestress of eight priests and prophets, including Jeremiah.

  • Junia – a Woman Lost in Translation: the Name IOYNIAN in Romans 16:7 and Its History of Interpretation
    Open Theology 2020; 6: 646–660 Women and Gender in the Bible and the Biblical World Andrea Hartmann* Junia – A Woman Lost in Translation: The Name IOYNIAN in Romans 16:7 and its History of Interpretation https://doi.org/10.1515/opth-2020-0138 received June 30, 2020; accepted October 27, 2020 Abstract: The name of the second person greeted in Romans 16:7 is given as IOYNIAN, a form whose gramma- tical gender could be either feminine or masculine which leads to the question: Is it Junia or Junias – awomanor aman– who is greeted alongside Andronicus as “outstanding among the apostles?” This article highlights early influential answers to this question in the history of interpretation (John Chrysostom’scommentary,thedisciple- ship list of Pseudo-Epiphanius, Luther’s translation, and Calvin’s interpretation) showing that societal percep- tions of women’s roles were a factor in how they interpreted IOYNIAN. The article then summarises the last 150 years of interpretation history which saw (a) the disappearance of Junia from the text and from scholarly discussion due to the impact of the short-from hypothesis in the nineteenth century, (b) the challenge to this male interpretation in connection with second wave feminism, and (c) the restoration of the female reading in the ensuing debate. Bringing together the main lines of the argument, it will be shown that there is only one reading supported by the evidence, the female reading which throughout the centuries was the more difficult reading in light of the church’sandsociety’s perception of women’s

  • Epistles of Paul
    THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE ASSEMBLY: EPISTLES OF PAUL THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE ASSEMBLY: EPISTLES OF PAUL JACK P. LEWIS In the Gospels, we see women showing hospitality to Jesus, women supplying him with their means, and women travel- ing with him and being around the cross. We see Jesus healing women, dealing with their spiritual problems, and using women as illustrations in his teaching; but we do not find any instruc- tion about their role in assemblies. The same is true of the book of Acts. Women learn; they obey the gospel; they engage in good works; they show hospitality; and they participate in giving. They are not depicted as being evangelists; they do not exercise miracle-working power; they do not baptize people; they are not elders in the congregations; and they are not pastors. No passage in the Acts of the Apostles specifically deals with the role of women in assemblies. We will turn to the epistles of Paul. Much of what Paul wrote is gender inclusive, relevant to and binding equally on men and women. Paul uses women as illustrations in his teaching. He con- trasts Hagar and Sarah (Gal 4:24ff.) and declares that the Jerusa- lem above is our mother (Gal 4:26). He speaks fondly of women as his fellow workers. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews includes women: Sarah, Moses’s mother, Rahab the harlot, and those who received their dead by resurrection (Heb 11:35). The Epistle of James mentions Rahab (Jas 2:25). Peter praises Sarah (1 Pet 3:6) as a model for Christian women.

  • The Origins and Progress Of
    [AJPS 14:1 (2011), pp. 108-146] THE ORIGINS AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS OF THE PENTECOSTAL MISSIONARY ENTERPRISE IN CHINA R. G. Tiedemann We have taken for granted an obscure history of Pentecostalism for so long that the multitudes of nameless people responsible for its grassroots expansion have passed into history unremembered and their memory is now very difficult to retrieve. Allan Anderson1 The Pentecostal movement owes its inspiration and formation to the emergence of radical evangelical currents during the second half of the nineteenth century. These new religious movements were significantly different in their eschatological expectations and missionary methods and began to severely challenge mainstream Protestantism in Europe and North America. Several innovative theological currents had a decisive influence on the formation of a host of new denominations and new missionary bodies. Holiness Wesleyans, higher life fundamentalists, the ascendancy of premillennialism, including its dispensationalist variant, restorationist currents, sabbatarian ideas, as well as diverse strands of German and Scandinavian Pietism all contributed to forge the new Evangelicalism as a protest against the growing ‘worldliness’ of the ‘mainline’ Protestant denominations in Western countries.2 1 Allan Anderson, An Introduction to Pentecostalism (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004), p. 175. 2 See Melvin Easterday Dieter, The Holiness Revival of the Nineteenth Century, 2nd ed. (Lanham, Md.: Scarecrow Press, 1996). For a brief background discussion and the relevant literature, see Allan Anderson, Spreading Fires: The Missionary Nature of Early Pentecostalism (London: SCM Press, 2007), Tiedemann, Pentecostal Missionary Enterprise 109 The Holiness leaders, for example, rejected the optimistic postmillennial convictions of mainline Protestantism. Instead, they insisted that the world was about to come to an apocalyptic conclusion, ushering in the imminent Second Coming of Christ prior to the establishment of his millennial kingdom on earth.

  • E.A. Judge, "The Roman Base of Paul's Mission," Tyndale Bulletin 56.1
    Tyndale Bulletin 56.1 (2005) 103-117. THE ROMAN BASE OF PAUL’S MISSION E. A. Judge Summary One third of those around St Paul bear Latin names, ten times more than we should expect. The types of name used suggest that most of these should have held Roman citizenship or the preliminary rank of Junian Latin. In the Greek-speaking cities of the Roman East, however, most Romans or Latins kept the Greek names they or their ancestors had used before their enfranchisement or manumission. For day-to-day purposes the Greek names alone were cited, though technically now cognomina (‘associated names’) to the Latin praenomina (‘first names’) and nomina gentilicia (‘family names’) required by Roman usage. It is therefore likely that over half of Paul’s associates ranked as Roman. If so, the view that Acts has only made Paul himself a Roman citizen as window-dressing becomes pointless. Instead we should assume that he linked himself with other Romans used to travelling on business or able to offer hospitality to him and his mission. Introduction There are far too many Latin names around St Paul for them to be explained mostly as loan-words domesticated into the Greek name- stock.1 In an ‘eyewitness account’ of ‘going to church in the first 1 E. A. Judge, ‘The early Christians as a scholastic community: Part II’, Journal of Religious History, 1.3 (1961): 130, slid over this distinction. It was left unsettled by A. N.

  • Tusculum Hills Baptist Church Paul Gunn, Pastor PAUL's GRATITUDE
    Tusculum Hills Baptist Church Paul Gunn, Pastor PAUL’S GRATITUDE FOR ALL THE HELP Romans 16:1-15 September 16, 2018 For public use: See non-copyright comments at the end of the message. The title of my message today is “Paul’s Gratitude For All The Help” and I’ll be preaching from Romans 16:1-15. I have two points to my message today and here they are: • Paul recognized his many helpers on the Lord’s work • Paul recognized the diversity of helpers INTRODUCTION: If you merely look at Romans 16 at a glance, you’ll see a list of names. If you’ve been keeping up with our study, then you may have looked ahead and wondered how a sermon could come out of a list of names. I must say I wondered that as well! Then it hit me. Romans is very similar to the book of Acts in that we have glimpses of the early church. Many things the two books deal with could be summed up in “What to do when” statements. The coming together of people with different backgrounds all because of Christ was a wonderful thing. It was a miracle of God indeed, but it didn’t come without some confusion and effort. People’s minds had to be opened like they had never been opened before. After writing such an incredible letter, before Paul closed out, he addressed some people directly. All people were significant to Paul. Some of them we know about, some of them we don’t. Listen and gain from the preaching of the scripture today.

  • Lives Worth Imitating – Hudson Taylor September 1, 2019
    Lives Worth Imitating – Hudson Taylor September 1, 2019 This morning I want to explore the life of one Hudson Taylor. Most people I have mentioned his name to this past week have never heard of him. Hopefully you won’t be able to say that again after today. Hudson Taylor and the word, China, should always go hand in hand. His mother and father were fascinated with China, although they lived in England. When Hudson’s mother became pregnant, his parents prayed that God would raise him up to be a missionary to the Chinese. And when Hudson was only 4 years old he declared his intent to grow up and do just that. • Hudson Taylor was born on May 21, 1832 to James and Amelia Taylor who were devout Methodists. His father was a chemist and a local Methodist preacher. • Hudson was sold out to God at age 17. (But it came in a dramatic and creative way) When Hudson was 15 years old he started working as a junior clerk at one of the local banks. The fellow employees were quite worldly in their lifestyles and ridiculed Taylor’s views on God, which led him to question his conservative Christian upbringing. Over time, he adopted their perspective and concluded that he could live his life anyway he wanted, because there was no God to whom he must answer. Shortly after that he developed an eye infection which forced him to quit working at the bank and go to work for his father. His father became quite irritated by Taylor’s moodiness, but his mother looked deeper and was concerned with his spiritual condition and began praying for him to return to the Lord.
