HOW JESUS MADE A BETTER WORLD FOR WOMEN
It’s common for people today to assume that religion in general, and Christianity in particular, restricts and represses women. In reality, nothing and no one has done more to advance the equality and dignity of women than the Bible, and the life and teaching of Jesus.
History shows us that gender equality hasn’t always been high on humanity’s radar. So how did we come to assume that everyone, particularly the genders are equal? Biologically speaking, men and women are not equal in structure. Men are almost always physically stronger, so on what grounds do we say women are equal to men?
Tom Holland in “Dominion”
That every human being possessed an equal dignity was not remotely a self-evident truth. A Roman would have laughed at it … The origins of this principle . . . lay not in the French Revolution, nor in the Declaration of Independence, nor in the Enlightenment, but in the Bible.
From the very first page, the Bible upholds the dignity and value of men and women.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
God’s creation ideal is unmistakably clear, that women possess the same inherent value. Both are image bearers of God and are representations of God’s own nature.
Genesis 1:27 explains why the book of Exodus commands honour be given to both mother and father (Exodus 20:12).
In the ancient world, it was typical that prophets would speak only to kings and adult males. But when Moses, the first prophet, assembles the people on Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim in Deuteronomy 27-28, and reads them a list of blessings for faithfulness and curses for disobedience, he includes women, children and foreigners also.
Deuteronomy 29:10–12
“You are standing today, all of you, before the LORD your God: the heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, your little ones, your wives, and the sojourner who is in your camp, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, so that you may enter into the sworn covenant of the LORD your God, which the LORD your God is making with you today…”
For thousands of years the Bible has honoured women with a variety of significant roles. Old Testament examples include Esther, Ruth and Deborah.
If you were to read the accounts of Jesus’ life, through first century eyes, you’d be shocked at how Jesus’ treated women.
Rodney Stark in “The Rise of Christianity”
“… women were in relative short supply owing to female infanticide, practiced by all classes, and to the additional deaths caused by abortion. The status of women was very low. Girls received little or no education [and] were married at puberty and often before. Under Athenian law a woman was classified as a child, regardless of age, and therefore was the legal property of some man at all stages of her life. Males could divorce by simply ordering a wife out of the household.”
At a time when most men viewed women as inferior and weak, Jesus was revolutionary in the value he placed upon women.
· His longest recorded conversation with any individual was with a Samaritan woman of ill repute (John 4:7-30).
· Dining at a Pharisee’s house, he allowed a “sinful woman” to gate-crash, and she preceded to anoint his feet with perfume and wipe them with her hair. When the host objected, Jesus used the opportunity to commend and defend the woman and rebuke the Pharisee who’d dismissed her.
· Jesus taught women, in a culture where most went uneducated.
· When Jesus was met by a woman with a bleeding disorder, He was tender with her, calling her “daughter,” (Matt 9:22; Mark 5:34; Luke 8:48)
· To another woman who’d suffered with a debilitating back condition for 18 years, Jesus addressed her as “daughter of Abraham” (Luke 13:16).
· Two of his close friends were sisters, Mary and Martha.
· Some of Jesus’ final words from the cross were to do with the welfare of his mother, as he said to John the disciple, “Here is your mother”. (John 19:27)
· Luke notes that Jesus’ ministry was funded by several women, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and many others (Luke 8:1-3)
The sight of men and women travelling together, working as co-workers as Jesus taught, healed and performed miracles would have horrified many.
Dorothy Sayers:
“Perhaps it is no wonder that the women were first at the Cradle and last at the Cross. They had never known a man like this Man—there never has been another.
A prophet and teacher who never nagged at them, never flattered or coaxed or patronized; who never made arch jokes about them, never treated them as ‘The women, God help us!’ or ‘The ladies, God bless them!’; who rebuked without querulousness and praised without condescension; who took their questions and arguments seriously; who never mapped out their sphere for them, never urged them to be feminine or jeered at them for being female; who had no axe to grind and no uneasy male dignity to defend; who took them as he found them and was completely unselfconscious. There is no act, no sermon, no parable in the whole Gospel that borrows its pungency from female perversity; nobody could guess from the words and deeds of Jesus that there was anything ‘funny’ about women's nature."
Jesus not only affirmed the value and significance of women, but championed their gifts and called them into ministry.
· It was women who were the first to see Jesus' resurrection.
· Upon seeing Christ, Mary goes to the disciples (men and women) proclaiming, "I have seen the Lord!" (John 20:18)
· In Matthew's account, Jesus instructs the women to go and tell His disciples (Matt 28:10).
Jesus’ example shaped the role of women in the early Church
Women were full members of the covenant community (Acts 1:14), serving as partners and leaders.
· On the Day of Pentecost when the church was born, the Spirit was poured out upon men and women, both filled and prophesying. (Acts 2:17-18)
· Women in the Church were expected to use their spiritual gifts, to their full potential, as equal partners in the mission of God.
· The Apostle Paul considered at least twelve women as co-workers in his ministry.
· Paul taught that widows and older women ought not be abandoned but were to be given a place of honour.
D.M. Scholer
“Jesus respect for and inclusion of women as disciples and proclaimers provided the foundation for the positive place of women in the earliest churches and their ministry.”
Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Greg Sheridan in “God is Good for You”
Christianity from the start was much better for women and girls than anything that had previously been on offer in the ancient world. It utterly rejected infanticide and abortion. Infanticide had been practised overwhelmingly against girls. So Rome had a structural imbalance of numbers, a shortage of women common in traditional societies that practise sex selection through killing female infants.
All of a sudden, Christian families had a lot more daughters than other families. And women and girls could participate in Christian life in a way undreamed of in most of the ancient world.
Not only did Christians as a result have a lot more children but also … they attracted large numbers of female converts. And the female converts resulted in male converts.
Christianity, in many explicit passages in the New Testament, taught that marriage was a mutual and loving relationship. The prohibition on adultery applied equally to men as to women. This had not been the practical reality previously … The Christian ideals of mutual love within marriage, of fidelity within marriage, and of chastity before marriage, were much better for women and girls than the rapacious behaviour of men previously.
Historian Samuel Moyn in “Christian Human Rights”
“… without Christianity, our commitment to the moral equality of human beings is unlikely to have come about…”
Ancient civilisations viewed the father as not only the head of the household, but almost like a god in his own right, effectively owning his wife and children who were regarded as his property, meaning he was able to do what he liked with them.
But Christianity gave rise to the belief that each human being is created in the image of God and possesses an immortal soul.
Rebecca McLaughlin in “Secular Creed”
“In Greco Roman culture, the idea that every woman had the right to choose what happened to her body would’ve been laughable. Christianity threw out this model. Rather than being seen as inferior to men, women were equally made in God’s image.”
Understanding that Christianity was introducing new paradigms in how men were to relate to women, we start to understand the shape of some of Paul’s teaching to households in the New Testament.
Ephesians 5:22–33
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Paul uses just 52 words to instruct the women, because in that culture, everyone just assumed wives ought submit to their husbands. Paul uses 163 words to instruct the men, because what he was teaching was radical.
Wherever the Christian message has spread and been taken seriously, dignity, care, and opportunities for women have increased. When men live for Jesus, homes, communities and workplaces become better for women.
James 1:27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Rebecca McLaughlin in “Secular Creed”
… if Christianity is true, the central plank of women’s rights isn’t our right to have our unborn babies killed. The central plank of women’s rights is Mary’s unborn child, who grew to be the man who valued us so much he died on a Roman cross so we could live. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Elizabeth shouted to her pregnant cousin Mary, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” (Luke 1:41–42) … truly this baby conceived out of wedlock and born into poverty changed everything for women.

This February at Calvary is Vision Month, a time where we set our focus on the year ahead and believe God for Greater Things.
As the church celebrates 100 years in 2024, we believe we're not here just to preserve the status quo but continue the legacy we’ve been entrusted with.
Which is why God wants us to believe for greater things, to ask for greater things, and to attempt greater things.

Because we can personalise our phones, our lattes and our sneakers, some may assume we can personalise our faith. While we believe God is personal, it doesn’t mean we get to personalise God.
People say things like, “Well I just believe that God is like such and such," assuming that because they think it, it must be true!
But there are core beliefs that have united Christians for 2000 years, in fact, Jude 1:3 calls it “the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s people”.
So we’re taking four Sundays to talk about what Christians believe, and why it matters.
This message goes through Part 8 of 'The Apostles Creed':
"The resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen."

This Sunday we’re honoured to hear from special guest, Pastor Wayne Alcorn. Together with his wife Lyn, Pastor Wayne leads Hope Centre Church, while also serving as National President of the Australian Christian Churches movement, comprising of around 1,200 churches nationwide.
Pastor Wayne is much loved as a communicator because of his ability to employ insightful (and humorous) storytelling to amplify biblical truth. Having spent four decades serving men of all ages in Australia and beyond, he is acutely aware of the challenges facing emerging generations of fathers and sons, and he continues to be engaged in programs that effectively transform men, their families and their communities.
Many people in church lose their joy because they go looking for it in all the wrong places and pin their joy to the seasonal, circumstantial, and the material things of life. When our joy is found in the hope we have in Jesus we can know the bad things in this life will turn for good, the good things can never be lost and the best things are yet to come.
Sam Allberry speaks around the world as a pastor, preacher and apologist. He is the author of Seven Myths About Singleness, Is God Anti-Gay? and What God Has To Say About Our Bodies.
In this conversation, Dustan Bell talk with Sam about his journey of same-sex attraction, faith in Jesus, and how Christians can live with grace and truth in sex-obsessed culture.
In addition to his writing, Sam serves as an Associate Pastor at Immanuel Church Nashville, is a Canon Theologian for the Anglican Church in North America, and a Fellow at the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics.
Same-sex attraction and gay relationships are one of the most contentious issues in our culture. Jesus never directly addressed same-sex behaviour, but He did have much to say that is relevant to the matter. In this message, Dustan Bell shares what the Bible has to say about same-sex attraction and gay relationships, along with eight common questions that arise on this issue.
The death and resurrection of Jesus is a historical reality that has practical implications for our lives. In this four-part series, “Sit Walk Stand” we explore the big ideas found in the New Testament book of Ephesians, showing us how to live in the light of redemption.
Seasons are wired into the world in which we live. In the same way, life is seasonal, particularly in the area of finance. Faith in Jesus does not make us exempt from the seasons, but it does provide strength in all seasons.
In this six part series we focus on the life of Joseph, recorded in Genesis Chapters 37-50, who himself navigated seasons of scarcity and plenty. In this series, Dustan Bell shares twelve principles we can apply in the area of work, finance and wealth, to build lives that are blessed in all seasons.

In the book of Psalms, King David wrote: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” (Psalm 103:2). King David knew that it’s only by looking back at God’s faithfulness in years past, that our hearts are encouraged to look forward in faith to the years ahead. As we look ahead to this year’s Expansion Offering, we can look back and see God’s faithfulness to our church over many years. From 2019 to present, it’s remarkable to consider how the Lord has worked in the expansion of our ministry centres, empowering us to take great steps forward.
For every person who calls Calvary ‘home’, we simply ask that you prayerfully prepare your heart for this year’s Expansion Offering on June 18.

This Sunday we welcome Ps Ken Lee to speak. Ps Ken and his wife Chrissy are the senior pastors of Nations Church, a multicultural and multigenerational church with more than 4000 people meeting in its locations in Australia, Cambodia and Ireland.
As Christians, we don’t need to go to a particular holy city, or holy mountain, or holy temple in order to access God’s presence. His presence dwells in us – because of the Holy Spirit, you and I are God’s holy space. Join us this Sunday and over the next few weeks for our new series called Holy Space. We’re going to be talking about the person of the Holy Spirit, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, so that our faith, our understanding, and our experience as Christians can be all that Jesus intended it to be.

Every month 2 million people Google the Bible’s most famous verse: For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus himself spoke these words and they continue to echo in hearts today. It’s because God so loved the world that the church exists - her message and mission is bound up in this central truth. This March at Calvary we launch our new series, God So Loved, and throughout this month, we will be taking time in each Sunday service to share our plans to further the message and mission of Jesus through Calvary Worldwide initiatives and partnerships.

When relationships are healthy, they bring joy and strength. When they’re strained, they bring pain and stress. What might happen if I took personal responsibility for the state of my relationships? If we’re going to talk about better relationships, it starts with me.
Healthy relationships bring joy and strength. Strained relationships, pain and stress. What might happen if I took personal responsibility for the state of my relationships? To build better relationships, it starts with me.
When Jesus was crucified, Pontius Pilate ordered that a notice be nailed above His head: ‘Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.’
The message was translated into the three languages of the day, Aramaic, Latin and Greek. From the Cross, by command of a Roman Governor, the good news was preached to all.
2 Kings 5v1-3
The king of Syria had great admiration for Naaman, the commander of his army, because through him the Lord had given Syria great victories. But though Naaman was a mighty warrior, he suffered from leprosy.
At this time Syrian raiders had invaded the land of Israel, and among their captives was a young girl who had been given to Naaman’s wife as a maid.
One day the girl said to her mistress [Naaman’s wife], “I wish my master would go to see the prophet in Samaria. He would heal him of his leprosy.”
2 Kings 5v9-14
So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and waited at the door of Elisha’s house. But Elisha sent a messenger out to him with this message: “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be restored, and you will be healed of your leprosy.”
But Naaman became angry and walked away. “I thought he would certainly come out to meet me!” he said. “I expected him to wave his hand over the leprosy and call on the name of the Lord his God and heal me! Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than any of the rivers of Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them and be healed?” So Naaman turned and went away in a rage.
But his officers tried to reason with him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, ‘Go and wash and be cured!’”
So Naaman went down to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. And his skin became as healthy as the skin of a young child, and he was healed!
-
The message of God’s love are is for everyone … even Naaman (no-one is beyond it)
-
The mission of God’s love is for everyone … even the Servant Girl (no-one is beneath it)
Four realizations of the person God uses.
- I AM THE RIGHT PERSON
The young servant girl doesn’t seem like the most likely candidate to make a difference.
She is:
- Young – in a culture that esteems age
- Female – in a patriarchal culture that viewed women as second class
- Captive – in a culture that degraded the slaves
But God used her to bring hope and help to others.
Matthew 5v14
You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.
- I’m the right person, in the RIGHT PLACE…
The girl could have said:
“How could anything good happen here?”
If there’s one thing God specializes in, it’s placement.
For example, the earth and the solar system (the anthropic principle)
Psalm 37v23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.
Job 23v10
But he knows the way that I take …
- I’m the right person, in the right place, at the RIGHT TIME…
At the very moment that Naaman needs a cure, the servant girl, who happens to know of a Prophet who can heal Naaman, that servant girl happens to be in earshot of the conversation.
Acts 17v26
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
Psalm 31v5
My times are in your hands …
Esther 4v14
Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for such a time as this?"
- I’m the right person, in the right place, at the right time, with the RIGHT ANSWER.
Everyone finds their answer in Jesus.
- To the condemned – Jesus is forgiveness.
- To the addict, He’s our deliverer
- To those enslaved, He’s our Redeemer
- To the abandoned, Jesus is our adoption.
- To the deceived, Jesus is truth.
- To the lost, Jesus is the way.
- To those left high and dry, He is faithful and true
- To the dead, Jesus is the Resurrection and the life.
- To the sick, Jesus is healing.
- To the defeated, He’s the Victorious One
- To those in a dark space, He’s the light of the world
- To the lonely, He’s a friend.
- To those in fear, He’s the Lion of the Tribe of Judah
- To those who feel far from God – He’s the mediator
- To the weak, he’s the mighty one
- To the hopeless, He’s our hope
- To the hungry, He’s the bread of life
- To those who are shaken, He’s the cornerstone
- To the tormented, He’s our peace.
- To the confused He’s our Wonderful counselor
- To the guilty, He is Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world
You don’t need to be Jesus … you just help introduce people to Jesus.

Acts 4:23–32
When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit,
“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed’—
for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.

Ps Shane Willard shares a powerful message encouraging our church to not put fences up, but to share from wells.
Acts 8:26-40
Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens not his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.”
And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?”
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.
Observations and Questions
-
Is there too much information in the passage?
-
Why is he choosing to worship in Jerusalem?
-
Why the scroll of Isaiah?
-
How does the good news apply to an Ethiopian who is missing his anatomy?
-
Is there any reason why I can’t be baptized?
-
Are we a fence-based or well-based church?
Deuteronomy 23:1
No one who has been emasculated by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the LORD. No one born of a forbidden marriage nor any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, not even in the tenth generation. No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, not even in the tenth generation.
Isaiah 56: 3-8
Let no foreigner who is bound to the LORD say, “The LORD will surely exclude me from his people.” And let no eunuch complain, “I am only a dry tree.” For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant — to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that will endure forever. And foreigners who bind themselves to the LORD
to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant— these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations. ”
The Sovereign LORD declares—
he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather still others to them
besides those already gathered.”
Characters
-
Ethiopian Eunuch: A “God Fearer”, would have been disqualified, willing to walk days to find the truth.
-
Philip: One of the original 12, from a devoutly orthodox village called Bethsaida, would have lived by 613 fences…..then he met Jesus.
Fruit
-
65 Percent of Ethiopia identifies as Christian.
-
Ethiopian Christians are indigenous.
-
The Ethiopian Church today traces their origins back to this eunuch.
-
An entire book about being surprised by how generous God is with people who are thirsty?...... Uncircumcised Gentiles being filled with the Spirit, normal people being used by God, Ethiopian eunuchs, etc…
Application
-
Jesus doesn’t ask ”are you worthy?” …..Jesus asks ”are you thirsty?”
-
Sinning less vs loving more
-
Everything needs to be fixed vs. nothing needs to be hidden
Lack of Thirst
-
Lack of thirst equals lack of teachability.
-
Lack of thirst equals a lack of humility
-
Lack of thirst equals lack of responsibility.
-
Lack of thirst equals ambivalence. Now that I am in….how I live doesn’t matter
The overuse of fences is not necessary if there is a well stocked well.
There was 613 fences in the Old Testament. Jesus had 2 fence posts. Acts 15 has 4…food sacrificed to idols, blood, meat of strangled animals, sexual immorality.
Are we gravitating to the center regardless of fencing?
Are we more focused on direction instead of distance?
Fences matter less when we are focused on moving towards the center.
In old communities, the whole village centered around the well.
What if we build wells instead of fences?
Wells and thirst represent: life, provision, prosperity, and abundance.
Jesus was a fence destroyer and well inviter.
Philip ignores all the fences and just keeps talking about the well.
We don’t need any fence that doesn’t lead to the well.
If fences make it more difficult to get to the well, they miss the point.
John 7:37-39
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
Questions
-
When is the last time I saw God do something that made me uncomfortable?
-
Have I honored right/wrong, in/out/, clean/unclean over a hungry/thirsty paradigm?
-
Am I blaming?
-
Am I teachable?
-
Am I flexible? If God saw fit to fill them with the Holy Spirit, who am I to argue?
-
Are we building deeper wells or higher fences?
