The Church is for everyone though not everyone ‘fits every Church. Since the word, Church, is tossed around so much, you need to know what this means – specifically, what it looks like, and how it acts out it’s beliefs. How do you define church?

This is going to sound harsh but I don’t know any other way to ask this question. Do you seek an encouraging word or are you more inclined to give an encouraging word? They really are 2 different mindsets and also are both viable and necessary in our lives. We need encouraging words because this

Context is that these chapters are the final words Jesus gives to His disciples before He is arrested. He knows what He will be facing and is trying to instruct and encourage His disciples. He also is emphasizing what they need to know and how to act in the days ahead. Jesus’ demonstration by washing
Often the phrase, the woman question, is used to identify what happens to women. I would argue that ‘to’ is the proper adjective, not ‘for’.
