Female Ministry is Necessary

Romans 16:1-2

hough the scriptures teach us in Genesis 1 that the woman was created second, it does not mean in any way she is to be without honor in the church of Jesus Christ. What is crystal clear to us today is that women’s Ministry is vitally important in the church and in the world. In most cases women represent the majority and at our present text, regarding Phoebe, it shows the honor and respect deserved her because of her gifts and the ministry to the church.

Our text reminds us that she is a servant to the church, one whom God has raised up to be a blessing and we ought to honor her. Her dignity is not in her title, but in her testimony as a sister, as a servant, and as a saint of Jesus Christ! Let us be thankful to God for His gifts of the women to the Church of Jesus Christ. In fact, where would many of us be if we did not have faithful women ministering in the church?
