Showing results for "mother" in Bible Study

Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family—and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.

Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.

In western post-Christian society, humans are thought of less like precious image bearers and more like commodities. The canary in the coal mine of this ideological shift is often women and children, which manifests itself in the seemingly built-in disdain towards motherhood and children for their lack of production of economically valuable goods. However, the risk of this utilitarian approach to human life is not just outside the church, but within those spaces as well.

A central figure in Christian tradition, Mary of Nazareth is both pivotal in theologies of the incarnation and a source of theological controversy. In this volume, bible scholar and priest Christopher Bryan examines the role of Mary in the theology of the first generations of Christians. Considering every reference to Mary in the New Testament in the order that the biblical texts were written, Mary of Nazareth situates biblical texts' treatment of Mary within first-century culture and examines changing theologies of Mary and the incarnation among the earliest generations of Christians

Bible prophecy is a fascinating subject, with more and more relevance to events that are in the news today. As we research the Hebrew prophets we find out what they consistently reveal concerning our modern world. Events that were predicted more than 2,500 years ago appear to be happening right now, and many other unfulfilled prophetic events could well be just around the corner. The prophets speak with a single voice, their revelations building into a clear picture of the near future.

This book is a pure inspiration from the Holy Spirit. I was preparing for a mother's day event we had in the ministry on Sunday 5/14/23 and as usual I didn't want it to be a drive-through event. I wanted God to make a lasting impact in the lives of these moms we intended to help with free diapers and wipes. So I was led to write a short prayer which they could use to prophesy destiny over their children. As I began to write, the Holy Spirit gave me more words and it kept flowing and flowing and I couldn't stop until I received the last sentence of this prayer handbook.
