Miriam - The Women Series

Today in The Women series we meet a character who might surprise you with her story of sin and God's redemptive love. Our prayer is that many will be touched by going deeper in the Word to study women from scripture. Thank you for reading and following this series!

The Women: Miriam

Seven Days Outside the Camp

Guest post by, Linda Osborne

Read along with Miriam's story in the following section of scripture:

Numbers12:1-16

I wonder if any of you have you ever been shut outside the camp for seven days. Miriam was—and I have been, as well.

The fact is, that we sin daily. Little sins, big sins, sins with our lips, sins in our hearts, sins against others, sins against God. We all sin—that is an undeniable fact. That's why Jesus had to die.

Praise God for 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

The Women: Rahab

Welcome In

Guest post by, Rachael Harry

Read Rahab's story in the following sections of scripture:

Joshua 2; Joshua 6:17-25; Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25

For weeks as I prepared my study on Rahab I admit I was a little bit baffled as to how I would relate to her. I mean, there is a lesson on grace and redemption here, which-is-oh-so-good. But what can I get from Rahab that is new and fresh for everyone?

And then God gave me a word that startled me like a welcomed glass of cold water splashed on my thirsty perspective. I pray it does the same for you.

I noticed this word: IN.

That little word “in” was repeated throughout the text. And it wove together an incredible picture of God’s heart for us all.

Eve - The Women Series

Our prayer is that many will be touched by the truth in the words here. Please continue to join us each week for this series by checking the blog.

The Women: Eve

First Women, Mother of All

Guest post by, Elizabeth L. Paulson

Read Eve's story in the following sections of scripture:
Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2-3; Genesis 4:1-2; 25-26 

Eve, the mother of all, the first woman…..her story lies in the pages of Genesis , the beginning of His Word. In fact, even if you don’t know much about the Bible, chances are you know who Eve is. As I sat down with my Bible to study this “character”, this woman, I asked the Lord to show her to me in a fresh way, from a new perspective. He answered faithfully, and Eve came to life for me! God wanted me to “get into her skin”..so to speak. To see her world through her eyes. To experience the myriad of emotions she must have felt. I felt God leading me to get inside of her head, to know her character better. And, so it came… a monologue, for lack of a better term, from Eve.

Eve, along with Adam, plays a huge role in our human existence, our human story. And, although, she only has a small portion of Scripture dedicated to her, she lived a lifetime. Days and months and years…an intense lifetime to say the least! Remove from your mind now, what you once felt or perceived Eve to be. Read below as if you are her…Eve the first woman.
