weeks you know because it can't be very

stuff as this as the months go by um but

with that being said as always it's time

for us now to rise to our feet and as we

go to God In Prayer let's go together on

one Accord seeking some knowledge some

wisdom some understanding about these

lessons that's coming before us that we

can have a clear understanding of God's

word so shall we pray father it's once

again at this hour is once again at this

time that as always we come to you

thanking you dear Lord for allowing us

grace that each and every one of us are

yet here upon this day and we thank you

for it and now dear Lord as we are about

to go into another lesson we ask once

again that you would give to us each

maybe just a bit of wisdom some

understanding some some knowledge that

we all may have a better understanding

of what your word was saying at that

particular time and how it even

resonates with us even upon this very

day

we ask right now blessings upon those

that are here and those that still may

be on their way and dear Lord we ask

ask once again for your blessings upon

us upon this day for in Jesus name we

give this prayer amen amen amen well

folks as always like to say we have a

wonderful series of lessons that's laid

before us and I am truly looking forward

to this particular series of lessons as

I do all of them especially now because

this is a new series of lessons um each

quarter I guess you could say I enjoy

going through each and every theme but

there comes a point where a great

anticipation comes in because you want

to see what the new lessons hold for us

because we going into a different

venture this one's a little bit

different because most of the time the

subject matter that we are dealing with

we'll have a lesson here or a lesson

there and then you just move on and go

from there this is one of the rare times

we have actually a series about this

subject uh as always our new quarter it

deals with summer quarter deals with the

months of June July and that of August

uh one of the differences we have with

this court is that typically you'll find

that we have 13 lessons that are broken

down into three separate units you have

unit one unit two and unit three this

quarter is different this quarter we

only have two units and you'll find that

the first unit is covering 10 lessons

normally you may get four well three to

five typically but this time we have 10

lessons covering one subject and then we

have in unit two three lessons covering

another subject and the subject matter

that we are dealing with for the next

three months it deals with God's work

through

women yeah we never had a series on that

God's work through

women first 10 dealing with the women

and then the last two dealing with God's

work through you could say the youth now

when we speak of Youth we're not really

talking about kids we just talking about

that younger generation that's coming up

but these first 10 lessons covers

powerful subjects because you know that

house at times have been division when

it comes to women and the ministry

do we all know that you know often times

you'll find that individual will tell

you that this is your role this is your

position no your place you'll find that

when it comes to this subject matter

most people are totally wrong with their

understanding of how God placed women in

the church women in the ministry you'll

find that God made us all we'll get into

this thing you could say equal on the

same footing on the same ground when you

had the man standing here the woman

stands here there's no difference they

are equal but what we do have to

understand that God did give us specific

roles though other words there certain

things that men doing there's certain

things that women do but when it comes

to who we are we're all the same no

one's over the other one it's kind of

like I once heard a man said to his son

uh I can't remember what was going I

don't know if he was going to school or

playing a sport but it dealt with he was

telling his son he said let me tell you

one thing now

don't ever think that you are better

than anyone else that you are no better

than they but the beautiful thing about

this was he kind of waited intentionally

for the son to walk away he said Son and

also know this they're no better than

you so his words were Bas saying you're

all on the same footing on the same

ground so this is the subject matter

that we will be dealing with for the

next 13 weeks the deal with God works

through women and that of the youth now

in dealing with this lesson it always a

point of where do you start you know

because introductions are key isn't it

you don't just jump into something it's

kind of like um on many occasions I've

have been given the honor of introducing

the pastor and sometimes when you go up

to this speak thoughts run through your

mind and it always where this BR I go

where do I start do I start with Pastor

the brro Baptist Church or do I start

with Homestead Pennsylvania or do I

start with Virginia Union or do I start

with his family you kind of go where do

you start but it's always best to start

guess where Folks At the beginning

that's the easiest way to look at is at

the beginning and dealing with the

subject matter we are dealing with the

writer starts in a key spot he starts

with the beginning now after this we're

dealing with specific women in the faith

as far as our unit goes but in the

beginning he just deals with this order

of that of creation and making the woman

so you start off the beginning because

that's always the best place to start so

we're starting in the Book of Genesis as

we know Genesis is one of 39 books of

the New Testament but it's in the

category known as the tollman uh the pen

took or somewh call it the books of the

law the word itself Genesis means the

origin the beginning the start of all

things is where we

begin to give you another misconception

that's out there also is too is when you

look at Genesis at the very beginning

the first chapter deals with

what in the beginning

have you heard anything about the second

chapter and what that deals with you

might not have heard this before but

people will say or some will say that

the first chapter deals with the first

beginning the second chapter deals with

the second order of

creation which I do not Dr re understand

what they're talking about when they say

that or they'll say there's two

Creations there's no such thing as two

creation Only One Creation what you will

find is when you read chapter one it

gives you more of a hierarchy it'll say

God did this and it was good god did

this and it was good god did this and it

was good he go on and on everything he

did was what it was good and they kind

of leave it like that even to make it a

man and it was good then in chapter two

it starts off by saying some of the same

things but the only difference you'll

find is this chapter one gives you the

highlighted view chapter two goes more

into details of what was done in chapter

one it's kind of like saying of a house

you say well I built this house and so

and so and date okay great next week you

start talking about all the things you

did to bring it about it's the same sir

you didn't build two houses you're just

giving more details about it so chapter

two deals with more you could say of the

details of the matter and what God did

in the order of creation but we are in

Chapter 2 um starting at Verse 18 now

leading up to this it deals with

Disturbed creation right we all

understand that right I need not go back

through day one day two day three all

the way up to this point I hope not good

cuz we're did We're The Adult class here

okay but it gets this it goes by

starting in this 18th verse the writer

starts off by saying and the Lord God

said it is not good that man should be

alone he said I will make him and help

me for him then the writer of this book

do we understand who the writer is or

who they say the writer

is who's the writer of the Book of

Genesis

Exodus Leviticus

Numbers some of

Deuteronomy anybody

know the writer is Moses he's the writer

of the Book of Genesis act Leviticus

Numbers Deuteronomy now the reason why

we say he didn't write it at all because

in Deuteronomy they have his funeral so

there's no way you wrote that whole book

if it starts off with dealing with your

funeral but the writings leading up to

this point is attributed to him but as

with all individuals of God who he uses

in the ministry it's not really moses'

word it's God's word they never come out

and say typically you'll find a prophet

or minister or someone saying this is

what I say and I said this and I said

that there he said thus sayith the Lord

and the Lord said this and the Lord said

that here he says and the Lord God said

he letting you know here Point Blank the

order of authority in which it comes and

who it comes through in that of God you

can say to a certain extent that God is

giving uh to picky back upon the last

week lesson his witness and when you are

giving witness you're giving what we

call in the church what start with a t

you're giving your testimony now that's

good that we know we give a testimony

but if they understand things what is a

testimony what's the definition of a

testimony you're witnessing but I need a

little bit

definition life experience there you go

so other words you're giving words to

what you know to be factually true

that's the thing you you supp be telling

the truth when you get testimony but

you're speaking to what you know to be

factually true now the true part is very

important but I like the first part

you're giving your testimony to what you

know you know last week we talked about

how you don't go to the courtroom and

you have to give testimony and the words

is what happened you said what so and so

said this and so and so said that and

they told to this person this one told

to this one and blah blah blah blah blah

and this is what happening the J tab you

don't get out of here with that because

that is not your testimony that's called

gossip that's Babel you know that just

hears sing but testimony is what you

know for yourself so here the witness we

have here the testim we have here is

guess what God is stating these things

by saying and the Lord God said it is

not good that man should be

alone God stop say it's not good other

words you could say in the language what

they speak you can change that around a

little bit by saying God saying it's not

right that man should be alone that's

what he say it's not right it's not a

good thing because keep in mind with the

order of creation at this point God

created all the animals right the world

itself is

complete how many humans are there on

the Earth at this

time it's the only one and who's that

one Adam is the only one some would even

say well how can he be alone everything

else was

created but what he speaks of there is

that he is the only one of his kind you

look at the Scriptures it says and God

made the Beast after their kind the

cattle after their kind so everyone has

someone that they could relate to that

was like them but as far as Adam goes

he's technically by himself and you know

we as people

what he's saying is that man needed

companionship we all need what

companionship we were built that way but

you'll find here that Adam is considered

to be alone at this time and we always

gravitate to what it is we know right

think about it you look at how we

function uh when we all was in school or

even in school now most likely you go

into the cafeteria who's sitting with

who sitting with your friends but people

you know you can gravitate to but I'm

going a little bit more specific here

often time you find the blacks are

sitting with who the blacks the girls

are sitting with who the girls the guys

are sitting with who that's what we

gravitate toward you go to the cookout

typically it starts out all the guys

over here all the ladies over there you

know before you start Dem mingling and

whatnot that's how we function you

gravitate to that which you know the

people that you know but here Adam once

again he is considered really to be by

himself he has no one he's the only

human there and God say it's not

right that he be alone now up to this

point everything God made was what good

now he has made a mistake but it said

just it's just not right it's not good

that this individual is by himself so

therefore it said not good that man

should be alone he said I will make him

a help meet for him now here's where

things typically go some say south

here's where there's another big

misconception out there to keep you guys

right track people say here's where if

go left which is a bad scene because

everybody know this is a left-hand world

you people are right-handed y'all got

some things y issues y have to deal with

but the world should be left-handed

because I'm left-handed okay but

typically that's saying means that guess

what things are going bad because here's

where you'll find a lot of issues I'm

going say with males in God's word with

men because you know men can be not all

men okay we got this right not all men

put everybody in the same category like

people say all preach to kids are bad no

all your kids are bad don't say all the

preacher kids are bad but what you'll

find is that here in dealing with this

um

issue before us and dealing with men and

women a lot of men will come across now

at the strong point they would say you

made a help me for me you didn't make me

you didn't make me the help help me for

her so other words they put them more in

a case of dominance that I'm in control

I'm in charge when I stand here you

supposed to be

where back

there when God speaks of here to make

you help me God Made You someone that's

equal unto you you're the same in the

order of Standards you know you're not

better than me I'm not lesser than you

we all are one and the same God said he

made male and female in whose image

in God's image so you're saying that I'm

made in God's image but

yet you more than I am when I made in

God's image or vice versa you're less

than I am I made in God's image no God

made you all the same then later on God

made gave some specific roles for the

these individuals to play but as

individuals you're on the same plane no

one's above the other I think Paul when

wrote to the Church of Galatians says

that there's neither Jew nor Greek B G

nor free male or female for you all are

one in Christ and if you are in Christ

you are the Seed of Abraham and Hees

according to what the promise so those

God said you're all on the same footing

you on the same ground but often times

you find the male will try to push you

backwards which that is not God's

concept that's who's

doing that's man's doing you know even

order creation when God gave man

Dominion of the animals everybody

understand what that mean by Dominion

over there some look at as God made them

to

dominate to conquer he made your

position leadership but Dominion means

to coexist with but you are leading okay

other words you're not to abuse animals

or anything to that nature but you are

to coexist with them in Dominion but you

are the leader but man tends to take

things a little too far what's the old

saying you you give them an inch they do

what they take they take a mile yard or

how you want to add it all up but here

you'll find that no God says I will make

him and help me for him other words now

man will not be alone you have someone

there that you can identify with then

the word goes on verse 19 says and out

of the ground the Lord God formed every

beast of the field and every foul of the

air and bore them unto Adam to see what

he would call them and whatsoever Adam

called every living creature that was

the name thereof he says and out of the

ground

what came from the ground when God

created

everything pretty much everything th I

like to throw a little tricks in on you

guys because you find that the things of

the water came from the water you know

if you look at scripture you know matter

of fact let me see can I find it right

quick bear with me for one second um

Genesis 1:21 says and 20 and God said

let the waters bring forth a abundantly

the moving creatures that have

life so other words certain things came

from the sea came from the water but

with creation of the Beast and so on

from there if you go down

to verse 24 and then it says after the

fifth day and God said let the Earth

bring forth living creature after his

kind and creeping things and beasts of

the earth after his kind and it was so

and God made the Beast of the earth

after his kind and cattle after their

kind and everything that creepeth upon

the Earth after his kind and God saw it

and that it was

good so everything now came from guess

what the ground you could say dirt in it

of

itself wish she a play on words I can

understand that to a certain extent

making something of the dirt because you

make some of the dirt you just pull

together right add a little water to it

well from our standpoint you know God

just speaks into existence but you can

mold his shape to make it to be what it

is but there One Creation that was made

his image that God technically I'm not

say didn't make it from

dirt because know what he made it from

the dust now some say is there a

difference I say yeah it's a difference

the difference is that's the lowest you

can go and it's a purpose why God did

this in other words dust is a byproduct

of dirt you can say right now okay mix

something okay you grab the dir and pull

together nma said you see that dust mix

something from

that you that's it only thing you do

with dust is write on it you know wash

this dirty cars some people put in the

windshield that's about it you can't

make anything from dust but guess who

did God did another point is this too

also we could say well God could have

made us from anything you know we as

people say he made me from rubies

Sapphire diamonds and all this great

grand stuff why did he pick dirt the

lowest of the low that buy I mean dust

the byproduct of dirt you could do

nothing with to show his omnipotent

power that I can take the least of

anything and guess what he made it his

greatest creation because that's the

only thing he said he made in whose

image in His image none of the beast of

the field none of the F of the air none

of the things of the ocean God Made In

His Image only man and God says that man

was nothing until I Breathe Into His

nostril what do you call it the breath

of life and only then did he become what

we call a living Soul so there's

distinct difference there when he talks

about God making something from the

ground here it said and out of the

ground the Lord God formed every beast

of the

field another small phrase in that say

is this who formed

it God formed it you thought about

science you know science and theology

kind of go handin hand what I mean by

that is God created everything science

kind of tries to explain how God used

what he had in existence to make it all

about it's kind like somebody who made a

cake all they was come behind and say

well he use eggs he use flour he use

sugar and all this that's all they

saying but the thing I kind of chuckled

at is that you know we know this theory

of evolution you know Darwinism and so

on from there we know

that everything according to science

everything there was some kind of

molecule or atom that split and it caus

a big bang that it created all the

galaxies it created all the stars it

created everything that we know how this

Earth supports life floating in the

middle of nothing and doesn't fly off

somewhere else it just stays in a

rotation around the Sun itself and as

Sun stays at the right distance how the

Earth tilts on its imaginary AIS and

give us the season so I mean the list

goes on and on and we haven't gotten to

ourselves yet of how we can see and how

the mind processes things how Visions

Come Through The Eyes upside down the

mind flips it over right side up how we

walk talk don't think about it I can

move my fingers don't even give it a

thought how we have immune system The

Body Works and the blood flows and the

kidneys operate and the the lungs do

this and liver do everything all this

came about about boom an explosion that

everything you see even the Mater and

cloth came from this and it's good you

could say it's good it's

perfect um I going to say I say who play

the lottery but I got that's my thought

in the Ling they give you odds don't

they they give you odds and they all you

always have a chance right I mean it's

warning 50 billion but there always a

chance my thoughts on that theory of Big

Bang there no chance that something

could happen like that and everything is

what it is there had to be some kind of

order or control that formed all these

things and the Bible tells us point

blank what it is it says here and out of

the ground

the Lord God

formed so all I'm saying this is God

made it all this what the writer deals

when top about Genesis talks about the

very beginning and what did it start

with it started with God forming

everything to be what it is that we know

today it say the Lord God formed every

beast of the field every foul of the air

and bore them unto Adam to see what he

would call them and whatever Adam called

every living creature that was the name

thereof

that doesn't need any deep expository

breakdown it basically says this

everything that God made he brought to

Adam gave him the authority Dominion you

name it whatever you want to name it and

whatever it is guess what that's what it

is and that's what we're going to go

with that short position Adam had was

unlike anything of creation that this

was made in God's image therefore he had

this right it was placed upon Him by God

it says and Adam gave verse 20 and Adam

gave names to all the cattle and to the

foul of the air and to every beast of

the field

but for Adam there was not found an help

me for him so deal that story of

creation once again this is not a second

creation it just goes near in detail

he's going back to let you know that for

him though there was

nothing there was no one for Adam you

ever been in a crowded room and fell

alone because you looked around saw none

of your people none of your family or

nobody that looked like you talk like

you like said you feel like you were

alone this is how Adam was he was still

alone for him there was nothing all he

had was the first thing that God ever

gave him and what the first thing God

gave

adam H man no first thing first thing

God gave

adam you said a

woman

life I never thought we gave gave him

life

but you're right there but he what did

God give him first thing he gave him

give some thanon next time you read the

Bible first thing God gave

men God gave him a

job he said name these animals then he

made the Garden of Eden you have to go

back to chapter one though remember

that's beginning he said now take this

garden and you got to dress it you got

to tell it you got to take care of it

firstent game was a job get to work so

all he had to keep him busy guess what

was his work naming the animals helping

out with creation and so on but in

reality guess what when the day's done

he's

alone at this point I don't see you know

in the scripture what animals

talked he's the only one that can talk

this time and he's sitting there and

that's it is what it is but it says in

verse 21 and the Lord God caused a deep

sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and

he took one of his ribs and Clos up the

flesh instead

thereof now we're dealing with we talked

before where do we start this lesson we

say the beginning n deals with the

beginning of the creation of what

man's already

created

woman the creation that of

woman this is what I meant what I said

earlier not everything came from the

dirt not anything came from dust because

even woman herself guess where she came

from she came from the man so that's

distinct different when we say

everything came from this give a new way

to think well actually when you look at

there are some differences but

throughout it all who created everything

that's the key Point God created it all

he say he caus a deep sleep to fall upon

Adam Adam now you say is put into what

we call an unconscious

state where now he's going through let's

call it surgery he got the ultimate

Doctor you now we pray he's the one that

never lost a case and all this stuff

that's the way you want to be but now he

is put under anybody ever been under the

anesthesia you remember anything about

that we said nope that's a good thing

you don't really me think about that you

know you find here he's going through a

surgery here because said caused a deep

sleep to fall upon him and he slept and

he took one of his ribs and closed up

the Flesh and stad there Clos the

incision back up but he went through

surgery here that he didn't know

anything about and that Sur stuff is

amazing you know we got folks here in

moth and what not in the medical field

but I'm amazed at how it works you know

it's like you just blink your eyes you

know if I had a few back surgery rupture

the and whatever else but I can remember

the well doing

theosophy you know you go through that

and they said Mr Spurlock start counting

back from 10 to

one you know they said you could start

feel a little drowsy a little sleep I

said to myself 10 n she said now do you

dress and leave I'm like I didn't count

about the eight you know it's done

that's all it was just like that this

something for Adam probably the same way

he's put into his says not sleep but it

says what kind of sleep a deep sleep

he's put into it and when he goes into

the sleep he says he took one of his

what ribs and closed up the flesh

instead there took one of his ribs now

some would say they'll get too heavy

into this they took his rib because his

Rib was close to his heart his under his

arm protect you know they go through all

those analogies keep it simple God took

a rib that that's what he did he took a

rib some would try to say it was

something else relating to whatever go

off what the word says until the word

tells me otherwise I'm going to stick

with this I even heard uh moew might

help me out on this one I even heard one

time that how do you

tell a male skeleton from a woman

skeleton think about what I just what we

just

read rib what what about a rib

well that's the biggest Theory I always

heard you can always tell if was a man

or a woman let's say they found a body

the remains and they said because the

man has one less rib than the woman

has let me be like Donald Trump fake

news that's that's fake news that's

that's fake news it does not have one

less than the woman now you know

actually some people do have more you

know body canos of I guess you said 12

pair you know you have 24 ribs you know

12 on each side some have one less some

have maybe one more it doesn't cause a

problem with you but that is a known

fact to have that but it's not a case of

you look and say okay I count 23 on this

body so that's a

man 24 this a woman no that's not the

case my understanding one of the ways

they do it is by the pelvic bone because

a woman is shaped different than the man

and something about the arms being long

and so that's different ways and bone

density and things of that nature but

it's not one less real I just wanted to

say to give some clarity cuz I've heard

that over and over and over man has one

less rib than a woman

like God made the man in this fashion he

just took this one to make the woman and

it says let's see where I stop at 21 oh

and Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall

upon Adam and he slept it says and he

took one of his ribs and closed up the

flesh instead thereof other words he had

made

incision now he closes up the womb but

God now has taken this rib it says and

the rib which the Lord God had taken

from man made he a woman and B her unto

the

man I've seen sometimes with this

particular scripture is really broken

down by saying and the rib which the

Lord God had taken from the man made a

woman I'm not going to all the things

I've heard about this because it's not

one of those scripture you need to EXO

Jesus just keep it plain keep it simple

it's like I was talking to L right now I

was say Luke that rib God took from man

he took that very same rib and he made a

woman you know what L say I got you

that's it that's all it's saying but

sometime we try to put too much in the

scripture that's not really there God

just telling you what it is that he did

and how it all came about but the key

thing it says he had taken from the man

made he a woman who made him God made it

now unfortunately here you'll find in

this older King James that when it says

he and so on you know it's in lowercase

letters the new King James which I still

stick to the old one because Mak me

study harder because it's difficult the

new one you'll find that all those uh

pronouns and and whatnot are capitalized

they want you to know that they're

speaking about God but once again it

shows you in order of creation God made

everything it was nothing there was by

chance that came about and he said and

brought her unto the woman

all right men Let's Pretend the women

not here today

okay the women are not here what do you

think was the man expression when he saw

this

woman remember the women not here okay

just us talking y'all know how guys can

talk about the women and let me I know

it's uh I guess it's it's a hidden code

women talk

too when they get that little groups I

don't know what y'all say but I know

y'all talking to stuff too but what do

you think the man said he first saw this

woman there you go Mike I'm quite sure

that the man said whoa what what you

brought up in

here keep in mind when God made creation

he said it was what good you think God

brought him just anything this what God

formed himself from the man's re the

first woman to set foot on this Earth

and I guarantee you I'm a scripture

doesn't say this right okay did anybody

get that scripture doesn't say this oh

but I said this she was one of a kind I

can guarantee you that she had to be

something Milly I got like I said we

talking about women today I be careful

my adjectives I don't want something

slip out of my mouth but diing

[Laughter]

Bush oh yeah first Impressions you know

God brought this woman before him so you

can imagine now keep in mind also I

would say not about the great joy proba

was had remember he was what alone he

had not seen anything that looked in

resemblance to him and any shape form or

fashion but now God presents him with a

woman that has come from you can say

from his own body before them it says

and Adam said this is now bone of my

bone and Flesh of My Flesh she shall be

called woman because she was taken out

of

man you know I've read and I thought

about this I can I be often time you

study of Words which is known as

atmology the study of words and how they

change and move over time they were

saying woman in this original content

meant this this this this and that you

know that's what the study does it show

you how the words what they Rel meant

let's say in Latin and the Hebrew and so

on from there I'm like well how they

come up with that because keep in mind

at this time who could talk in creation

only

Adam whatever language that was came

from Who Came From God otherwi this the

first words ever spoken so how can you

say it originally came from this or that

he just said I'm G call a

woman see that's the thing we can't

fathom how these things even start but

it started with him calling her woman

the name Adam had named everything up to

this point correct nay has this woman

before him and he said this is now woman

because this is now bones of my bones

and Flesh of My Flesh she shall be

called woman because she was taken out

of

man powerful statement he's made it

shows now that they are what one they

are on equal ground they are on equal

footing there's no case of the man walks

in the front and the woman Walks Behind

no she walks beside him she is his help

me she is that of his equal here it says

therefore shall a man leave his father

and his mother and shall cleave unto his

wife and they shall be what one

flesh this goes back to often times in

the order of a marriage ceremony they

say a marriage now has taken place that

they are now one and they shall be

together some say I don't know how some

people contradict this by saying that

doesn't mean that what the next verse

says that for this cause should a man

leave his father mother and cleave unto

who his wife he consider his NE Union

here now of that of being one and that

they are on the same footing they are on

equal ground it said they shall be one

flesh there's no division here there's

no one on this side there's no one on

that side all one and the same in the

order in which God had created them and

even Christ reflects back upon this

particular scripture when they ask him

about the concept of marriage remember

he say it's the right for a man to put

away his wife and so on and he said what

did Moses say

remember who wrote This Book Moses wrote

it Moses wrote it but it came from that

of God one thing understand about the

masculinity of the Bible is that the

Bible is written by

who what gender wrote the

Bible what gender because it written by

someone who wrote the Bible man men

wrote the Bible but as we know according

to scripture according to our um

denomination of the Baptist faith we

follow the thing called The Articles of

faith and one of the Articles of Faith

the very first one deals with it says

the scriptures that we believe that the

Bible is written by men divinely

inspired by God that is God for his

author salvation for his treasure

without Truth for any mixture of er that

is supreme principle by which God shall

judge and therefore is and shall remain

it says to the end of the world so it

was written by men inspired by God but

keep in mind when a man speaks he G to

speak typically in a masculine form what

I mean by that is he and him and so on

from there it's no different that if any

one of you ladies would come up in there

and start speaking you would probably

say she her and so on you speak from

your kind from what you know so here you

find the Bible speaks the exact same way

speaks from a a male's perspective as

far as the way he speaks but yet it

still is God's word and not man's word

in verse 25 says and they were both

naked and the man and his wife and were

not

ashamed at that point God had brought

them together as one they looked at each

other as that of being equal what this

lesson has dealt with say not a whole

lot to break down this lesson it just

deal with the order of beginning and how

God created them equal that they are one

there's no separation here this

Foundation we have here set the stage

for the next 13 well after 12 lessons

that go on from here in which we deal

with different individuals

different women during each course as it

goes along but here we'll find that God

created woman he created in whose

image you sure about that I thought he

made it in Adam's image did didn't make

in Adam's image after the mail okay God

made her in His image to be man's help

me to be his companion that they two

were to be together here as it says once

again as that of one so the best place

to start with this series of lesson once

again is at the very beginning and that

pretty much FKS guess what we're little

earli today few minutes that completes

the lesson there's no deep breakdown of

this lesson it just gives us the

foundation for where we're going because

next week I think we deal with uh

Deborah one of the first judges I'mma

hold back on that because that was

unheard of for her to be in this

position then I think we deal with uh a

couple lesson there dealing with Ruth

Naomi and and so on from there and Boaz

which is a very powerful lesson but it

all deals with Women of Faith and how

God used women to work in the

ministry as we go along we're going to

run across some subjects that some men

go CU you know some men you let a woman

come in that pull

pit you hear cars in the park like

spinning wheels they say I got to

go I'm going explain all

that dealing with let's say the the

preaching part of it also pastorial

leadership and all those things because

you have to understand when you study

the Bible you have to look at the what I

call it the totality of the Bible what I

mean by that is totality means complete

but you'll find what people do one thing

they'll get one particular thing and

they'll stay right on that but keep in

mind when you have a a scripture before

you there's also a scripture after it

and a scripture before it so you have to

read the whole thing you can't just take

one verse and try to proof text it to

prove what it is you're trying to say

see the Bible I've spend this many time

before when you proof text something you

have to do the right way

the wrong way to prove text is that you

take a scripture that show what it is

you're saying y'all got me that is the

wrong way to interpret proof text other

words you're trying to prove something

by the text is you take that scripture

to prove what it is you are saying

you're doing it all wrong cuz you know

why you are taking that scripture there

and prove what it is you have to say and

when we try to prove what we have to say

we could go through any length to do it

the right way to prove text is this you

take a select scripture and you show

what God is saying that's the point it's

what God is saying not what you are

saying you know I learned this from long

time ago I'm G keep bringing it up there

was a a young fellow sitting right over

here by name of do AES he said when you

teach that Bible use scripture and

interpret it correctly because therefore

if anybody in this exact words want to

debate you want to argue with you you

can saywell you tell me different what

God says because I've said before here

teaching is not not hard it's not hard I

stand up here and teaching Pastor say

words over there

D not good D SP oh he's such a great

teacher and all us all I'm doing reading

all the

scripture God deserves the credit I just

take what it says and put it before you

but you have to study it to make sure

you are saying it correctly this is what

the scripture says when someone goes

against it okay well you have to show

now what the scripture say otherwise

because right now what I'm hearing is

what you are saying not what God is

saying so there is a distinct difference

between proof text and correctly and

wrongly the wrong way to prove text is

once again to take what it is in

scripture and show what it is you are

saying that's the wrong way to prove

texting the right way is take that

scripture and show what God is saying

and when you see what God is saying you

have no other choice but to believe what

is placed before you once again we're

dealing with 13 weeks here first 10

lesson dealing with the women that God

use in the ministry and the important

role that they have in this ministry

that is equal to what man does in the

same Ministry because whose Ministry is

it

anyway it's God's Ministry and the word

Minister means

what what does Minister mean let me

happy out God said I came to minister or

Christ not to be ministered to talk

about serving all you're doing is

serving remember when Jesus came up

missing when he was 12 years old they

said where were you he said know you not

that I'm about whose business he said my

father's business always about that of

serving so we're dealing with once again

at this caring this lesson 10 lessons

the importance of women in the Bible

then the last three oh they deserve just

much important the youth that God works

through because we know we older folks

tend to be hard on who the youth boy you

still wet behind the ears you don't know

nothing you don't know this this is why

Paul wrote the uh Timothy and Titus it's

called the Pastoral Epistles and he

thoughts all by saying do not be afraid

and do not back up I'm paraphrasing off

those who consider your youth because

what you have was young ministers before

a congregation but the older people

didn't want to hear what they had to say

cuz they looked them as being too young

so therefore they were hindering God's

work from going forth so the last three

lesson deals with the important role of

Youth and how God uses the younger in

serving in his church now next week

lesson I haven't bought it up but

somebody help me out here with your

books that should be dealing with

Deborah if I'm not mistaken you know a

little insight to Deborah Deborah was a

judge now we talk about Judge we're not

talking about someone who was a judge of

the judicial system and the appic court

so from there no no no no there was a

difference you'll find that when you're

dealing with a judge here the judge does

not judge judicial matters but the judge

was actually the leader of the Armed

Forces of Israel so other words they

commanded the armies and guess who's

command normies this

time a

woman whoa that that is extremely

unheard of especially during that time

so I'm going to study because Helen is

going to try to cut me down when I said

the wrong thing about women I

got 12 weeks ago I got to think twice

before I speak each and every time

because you know y'all far outnumber us

but I can tell you this nobody can run

fast than I can I still got my speed so

I'm not scared of you guys okay but next

week your homework is to read that

section of the Bible dealing with

Deborah who was a judge but one thing

too I want get a hit of my lesson here

that's not talked about it says she's

also was a propheus we talk about this

prophet and prophetic words and all she

was a propheus a woman proclaiming God's

word like I said some men if they would

invited to this Sunday school session

right there next week I'm talking about

a woman preaching they would say I'm out

of

here because they have a

misinterpretation of God's word often

time based upon guess what somebody's

error in their teaching and the things

that Came Upon them we all can learn can

we I've always said before when I say

something in P this class I study hard

each week guys study hard and sometime

might be wrong but as Charles Bary book

said I doubt it because I study hard so

I don't want to be wrong but if I am

wrong see me after class explain to me

say Ken you say so and so I've always

saw this and I said where guess what I'm

GNA study what you said and I'm not so

hard I can't come this week say guess

what someone came to me and explained

this to me and all this time I've been

in error because it's my mandate to keep

you the right and most accurate

information that can so I would tell you

I messed up on this one but this is what

it actually means based upon further

studies but that's how we he Sunday

school is for what for learn nobody has

all the answers and if a teacher stand

before you and say they have all the

answers it's time for you need to get up

and leave because there a problem right

there they have all the answers but once

again that's our home next week to study

some things about uh this Phenomenal

Woman known as Deborah the judge but

also a what a Propst that's part I'm

going try to hint upon she was a Propst

but with that being said let us rise to

our feet and Di and Bush if you will

give us a closing word of prayer to

bring us into the worship service
