Title: Intentionally Different (1)
Series: Same But Different
Author: Jeff Geyer
Text: John 1:1-3, 14; Genesis 1:27-29; 3:16-18; Matthew 19:11-12
Big Idea:
Women were created biologically differently than men to give life…only ones created with a
womb…and men were biologically built differently than women to bring things under control
through physical strength.
Intro:
There’s a game called “Same But Different” that is played with preschool through elementary-age kids. The point of the game is to develop awareness that two objects have similarities and differences and how to articulate the similarities and differences.
For example take a look at this question:
- There are two Yoo-hoos:
- The same qualities would be: both are containers, both have circular tops and bottoms; and both are labeled with the brand.
- The different qualities would be: one is clear, the other is obscure; one is short, the other is tall; and one is narrow at the top, the other is wider at the top.
At the end of the day, the goal is for kids to become critical thinkers.
The same goes for men and women. We are the same but different. Over the next several
weeks we’ll learn how this plays out in biology, in the home, and in the church. Our annual
church survey revealed this as the number one topic our church wanted more information on.
This week we’ll start with biology, which ows into the home and the church the next couple of
weeks.
Connection/Tension:
Up until the 1960s, this was agreed upon in America and everywhere else. This was a universal
truth. Men and women are different biologically from the rest of creation…which means they are
the same.
There’s a guy by the name of John Money, who with sophistication and backed by Johns
Hopkins, coined the term gender identity. He believed that male and female identities were
pushed on babies by society and gender is unrelated to biology. He agreed that there are some
