III: Divided on Sexual Ethics (Are We Really Better Together?)

Published: Sept. 22, 2022, 10 a.m.

In this episode, Pastor Grant Caldwell and Sr. Pastor Paul Lawler look at the third chapter of Are We Really Better Together?. This chapter asks, "Are we divided on human sexuality?"

In this crucial episode, we explore the divide that's getting so much attention in the Methodist Church. We ask what the historic and Orthodox position on these matters is, what it is that we actually believe and are for and how this shapes the way that we love our friends, our families, and our neighbors here in Memphis.

Women in Ministry:
For those who may wish to grow in a biblically rooted understanding of why we empower women in ministry on the basis of the Bible, we encourage you to listen or read the following links. These links provide evidence of the fact that we are not glossing over Scripture, but we are empowering women for ministry on the basis of Scripture:

·         Women in Ministry  (by Dr. Sandra Richter)

·         Why Arguments Against Women in Ministry Aren’t Biblical (by Dr. Ben Witherington)

·         Women in Ministry, Part 1 (by Dr. Ben Witherington)

·         Women in Ministry, Part 2 (by Dr. Ben Witherington)

·         Women and their Roles in the New Testament (by Dr. Ben Witherington)

We didn’t get there in spite of the biblical text but because of the biblical text.
