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

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
