Here are some great sermons to listen to that touch on Femininity and Masculinity. We talked about these two subjects on Sunday 6/28/09. Both sermons are by Mark Driscoll and I recommend them both to all of you. They are a steamed video but you can download the video or audio by clicking download in the box in the lower right hand corner.

Discussion: Masculinity and Femininity 6/28/09
What is the meaning Masculinity and Femininity, and how should this be displayed by Christians?
If you have ever seen Home Improvement you would know of Tim the Tool Man Taylor. If you haven't seen the show Tim is the sort of guy who has every tool known to man, works on cars, grunts and all the things you would think of in a manly man. Is this the meaning of being masculine? How does the arts play into masculinity?
Women the calling for you Biblically is to care for the family see Proverbs 31, does a picture of the mom off of Leave it to Beaver pop into mind? This is a woman with an apron, baking and cooking, cleaning the house. Is being proper the meaning of being feminine? What about women taking up traditionally men’s role ie military, construction etc.
Does clothing, hairstyle, the way we talk affect a persons masculinity or femininity? What does the Bible say about these the role of men and women, and does this affect ones masculinity or femininity?

Discussion: Obedience, Respect, and Honoring Parents 6/21/09
We are kicking off our summer session with a BBQ, HS grads, and a new series that will challenge us to think about our world view.
In light of Eph. 6:1 or Col 3:20 and Exodus 20:12 as young adults are we still children and how does obedience, respect, and honoring our parents play into this time in our life.
Please be ready to discuss. Since this is our first time doing this I will give you some direction but don't make this a crutch by just answering these questions.
Is there a difference between honoring and obeying your parents?
Read Gen 2
Are there any other passages that talk about young men or young women?
What does the world say?
Does having Godly parents make a difference?
How does this affect me?
