“After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.”
(Acts 18,1-3 ESV)
“Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.”
(Acts 18,24-26 ESV)
“Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks as well.”
(Romans 16,3-4 ESV)
“The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.”
(1 Corinthians 16,19 ESV)
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.
