Mid-week Bible Study
Do you realize how often women are mentioned in the Bible? Do the names like Eve, Sarah, Deborah, Ruth, Esther, Mary the mother of Jesus, Anna, Mary and Martha, Lydia, Eunice and Lois sound familiar? These are only a few of the great women mentioned in our Bible.
The Bible not only gives us the names of these great women, but also describes their sorrows and joys, their defeats and victories, their intense private moments and important public duties. In contrast to the inaccurate myth that the Bible is an antiquated piece of anti-woman (Misogynistic) literature, the bible portrays women as God’s creatures, different yet fully equal with men, fallen in sin, yet redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb of God.
In addition to sharing the thoughts, dreams, words and deeds of women in the past, the Bible also provides helpful instruction for women of the 21st century. It encourages thrift and industry (Proverbs 31:10-31), teaches about healthy relationships between husbands and wives (Ephesians 5:22-33; Colossians 3:18-19), provides instruction in the relationships between older and younger women (Titus 2:3-5), celebrates the equality in diversity among believers (Galatians 3:28, 29), and extols the important and varied roles women play in the partnership of the Gospel (Philippians 4:3).
In His Word, our God unfolds for the believer both true womanhood and true manhood as He designed them to be, so that both sexes are affirmed in their equality and in their differences as God created them. SEE YOU ON THURSDAYS! (starts September 17th @ 9:30am)
