12 Women of the Bible

Happy Week 6, OBSers! Can you believe we are almost done with our study? This is the last of the women of our study.

Okay, here is the last of our Weekly Lowdown’s. Print this, post it to your fridge or tuck it in your study book.

This is your SUGGESTED guide for the week to help you keep up in the Bible study!

Here’s what’s happening in our study this week…

What We’re Reading This Week... Mary Magdalene (pp. 97-106, in the guide.)

This week’s memory verse: Galatians 6:9 (NIV) – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Mary Magdalene: Transforming for Outcast to Follower

Her Character: Though mistakenly characterized as a prostitute in many popular writings, the Bible says only that Mary was possessed by seven demons. She probably suffered a serious mental or physical illness from which Jesus delivered her. She is a beautiful example of a woman whose life was poured out in response to God’s extravagant grace.

Key Scriptures: Luke 8:1-2; John 19:25 and 20:1-18

Observe — Our culture seems to have ways of declaring people either “in” or “out.” What places a person in the inner circle and what makes a person an outcast?

Bible — Take a moment and read Galatians 6:9. Then try the S.O.A.P. Bible Study Method …

Observe — God created humans to be in His image, to be reflections of Him on earth, mean and women to reflect God’s glory. Jesus takes the broken shards of our lives and mends them back together so we can reflect Jesus. – Jonalyn Fincher

Stretch — Fill in the blank: This week I can spend more time at the feet of Jesus by _______. What is getting in the way of you doing this? Prayerfully consider and journal your thoughts. #12Women, #OBS

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach. Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
