Mandate for Women’s Ministry:
But as for you, TEACH what accords with sound doctrine…Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to TEACH what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Titus 2:1,3-5
What is Women’s Ministry? “Women reaching out to meet the needs of others.”
This Saturday, February 5th, we had the privilege of having a women’s tea! Monica Rose Brennan gave us a good word on finding our identity in Christ! She shared from John 4 where Jesus spoke to the Samaritan women and offered her a spring of water welling up to eternal life. This woman found her identity, fulfillment, and purpose in men. Jesus offered her complete satisfaction in Him. Many of us struggle just like this woman, whether it’s finding our identity through a relationship, or friends, or a job, or education, or church, or hobbies, or hairstyles, or clothes, or cars.
Selah:
LORD, I pray that you would strip us of a restlessness of finding our identity in other “things”. I pray you would form in us a solid, satisfied identity in Christ. Be our fountain of life! May we move with purposefulness and originality as we are enabled through the power given by this Living Water! Let us find a deep contented identity in You!
