PART 1 - You’re invited to a study called “Ten Women Without Options”, which covers the beautiful narratives of the Old Testament women who experienced God’s intervention and grace from Hagar to Esther.We may discover that we have much in common with them! What will be our “Takeaways”? Practical down to earth insights into how God’s Grace can impact our everyday lives as we relate to these women of long ago. A timeline approach to understanding Old Testament history. Insight into Christ in the Old Testament. He’s everywhere! A hard look at the “justice of God” issue, “How could a loving God wipe out a whole people group?” a question which comes up so often in our post Christian world. These stories heavily address this issue.
PART 2 - In this study called “What Jesus really thought of Women” we will address the cultural lie that Christianity puts women down. (Your daughters will probably need this information) We will explore Jesus’ interaction with the women in His world, showing how he turned the culture of his day “right side up”, giving women dignity and worth.If there is interest, we can go on to a study on Paul’s controversial writings on women, as well as the New Testament record of women in ministry. All is deeply informed by the Assemblies of God position papers on these issues.
