Women of the Bible
Women of the Bible
As we journeyed through Bible verses this past week about women’s roles in the Bible, we discovered that women are powerful figures in God’s story. From leaders and caregivers to advocates for justice, prayer warriors, and faithful witnesses, their contributions are invaluable. Let’s be inspired by these incredible women who have gone before us. And, let our hearts be open to God’s calling, fully participating in His great purpose.
I hope you all enjoyed researching Bible verses and sharing information about the Women in the Bible for which our Small Group Table are named. You all did a great job!
Elizabeth – Luke 1:25,45 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people”. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Priscilla – Acts 18:26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
Rachel - Genesis 30:22-23 Then God remembered Rachel; He listened to her and enabled her to conceive. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”
Hannah - 1 Samuel 1:10 - 11 In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all of the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.
Anna the Prophetess - Luke 2:37 and then there was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped night and day, fasting and praying.
Mary, the mother of Jesus - Luke 1:38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” The angel left her.
Esther – Esther 4:14 “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
Sarah – Hebrews 11:11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.
Looking up answers to the Trivia questions was another good way to get us into the Bible. I learned a lot and hope you did too! If you missed and would like to take on the Trivia challenge, let me know. I’ll be glad to send you a copy of the questions via email.
