Romans 16 1-16 Does Scripture Allow for Female Deacons?
Update: 2025-07-29
Description
In this sermon, Pastor Partridge begins Romans 16 by diving into the rich, and often overlooked, personal greetings of Paul. He tackles the debated passage about Phoebe, the servant of the church at Cenchreae, and whether Scripture supports women holding the ordained office of deacon. Partridge carefully walks through the historical, grammatical, and contextual interpretation of key terms like diakonos, while honoring the faithful labor of women like Phoebe and Priscilla.
This sermon challenges modern egalitarian interpretations, defends confessional orthodoxy, and calls believers—men and women—to diligent service in God’s kingdom. You’ll hear why every name listed matters, how proper hermeneutics protect the church, and why the ordinary saints are the backbone of gospel ministry.
