Our Help
Sermon by Bill OnisickExploring the God-given role of women throughout history and the Scriptures, this message corrects an unfortunate long-standing misconception of female inferiority. Emily Roebling, who completed the Brooklyn Bridge when her husband fell ill, was denied acknowledgement of her role because of foolish cultural prejudices, reminding us that through the years, far too many women have gone unrecognized for their rightful intellectual and scientific achievements. In Genesis 2, Almighty God asserted that it was "not good" for man to be alone, so He created (Hebrew ay-zer and neh-ghed) a helper "comparable to him." Instead of connoting inferiority, these words (often describing God as our help) emphasize that the woman was created to be a strong, equal, complementary partner—not subservient. Marriage, as a divine covenant, was intended to mirror the intimacy between Christ and the church. Though men were given the role as head of the household, they were not to dominate, but to sacrificially love as Christ loved the Church, caring, listening to, and collaborating with their wives. Proverbs 31 demonstrates the strength, wisdom, and value of a virtuous woman, not only as a homemaker and mother, but also as a shrewd businesswoman and leader, proving indeed that a woman's worth is far above rubies. Consequently, women are equal image-bearers of Almighty God, created to complement, not serve. The biblical term "helper" connotes strength, capability, and partnership, not subordination. Godly marriage requires mutual love, respect, and sacrificial leadership.
