Summary: Part 2 in the series on Women in Leadership within the church.
Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:11-15
Statement by Andrew as his current understanding:
Paul was addressing a particular problem specific to the church at Ephesus in which false teaching was resulting in inappropriate behaviour. Paul was not necessarily giving a universal order to all women for all time not to teach or have authority over a man within the church context, but he was speaking against a domineering type of authority going on in Ephesus.

3. In what areas of your life are you thankful for in which you have seen Jesus already bring healing and freedom?
4. After the man's healing, he wanted to follow Jesus but was told to go back and share his story with others. How can your own personal story of what Jesus has done for you become a powerful tool for sharing your faith within your community?

The Call to Radical Love:
Why are we to love in this way?
** Because this is how God loved us
** Kindness demonstrated through the cross (Titus 3)
Application Questions:
** What would it look like for me today, to turn the other cheek in a way that honoured Jesus?
** Am I know as a person who treats others the way I want to be treated, even when they don’t deserve it?
** Would I want God to treat me the same way I treat others? Why or why not?
** If Jesus were to sit with me one-on-one in a room, would He say that my love is more conditional or unconditional? Why or why not?
** Do I tend to love and only show kindness to people who can benefit me in return? Why or why not?
** Where in my life, or at this moment, is Jesus calling me to love or give without expecting anything in return?
** Do I tend to judge others quickly? What’s behind this tendency?
** Is there someone I need to forgive right now?
