D.L.

“After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.”
(Luke 8,1-3 NIV11-GKE)

“The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.”
(Luke 23,55-56 NIV11-GKE)

“When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.”
(Luke 24,9-12 NIV11-GKE

I want to explore these weeks together and share about the women of the Bible, but with a little twist.

There are many influential women in the Scriptures, such as Eve, Sarah, Ruth, Esther, Rachael, Mary, Elizabeth, and others. These weeks, we will learn from the women who are not that well known but are essential in shaping the lessons, faith, and life of the Christian Faith and Church.

So, we will examine Eunice, Dorcas, Joanna, Priscilla, Lydia, and Phebe for six weeks.
