This inductive Bible study explores the
character of many women in the Old and New Testaments to see the relationship
these women had with God. The in-depth twelve week study examines
events that revealed the strengths and weaknesses of women in the Bible
so that those living today can learn from their obedience as well as
from their mistakes. As the lessons point to God’s sovereignty, His
provision, His blessings, and His consequences for sin, the students
also see evidence of God’s grace and mercy toward His children. The
last lesson focuses on the relationship each believer has with God
through Christ Jesus, to provide a source of encouragement. Many practical
application questions are considered so that students are challenged to
grow stronger in their faith and in their walk with the Lord.
The
study provides a number of options for completing the lessons. The
student could complete the observation questions followed by application
questions, or complete the remainder of the lesson for an in-depth
study. Students could also study only some of the portions of the
in-depth lesson beyond the observation questions. The study also offers
a reflection in Scripture to provide a time of worship as a conclusion
to the daily study. When a group is meeting weekly to discuss the
lessons, each student will benefit from the review discussion suggested
by possibilities in the accompanying leader’s guide.
