Girlfriends Bible Study

Ep 36 - Bad Girls, Rude Women: A Study of Jezebel

We begin our theme - Bad Girls, Rude Women - with an in-depth study of Jezebel and her horrible influence on her husband, King Ahab.
Why are men so attracted to bad girls? And women so attracted to bad boys? It's the confidence. Confidence is sexy.
But you don't have to be evil to be confident! You can be humble and confident.
The marriage of Ahab and Jezebel - 1 Kings 16:29-33 - He immediately changes for her and starts serving Baal.Jezebel is clearly running things - 1 Kings 18:1-19Jezebel even scares the man of God - 1 Kings 19:1-18 - You can be doing right and still be intimidated.Ahab's actions condemn him to death - 1 Kings 20:13-18, 23, 28-43Naboth's Vineyard - Jezebel is still running her husband - 1 Kings 21:1-29Ahab's death - 1 Kings 22:1-40, 51-53 - his sons follow in his footsteps - this illustrates leaders whose fragile ego wants to be lied toJezebel killed - 2 Kings 9:1-37

Ep 35 - Angels

Tonight we are discussing Daniel 10 where an angel appears to Daniel (yet again).

Ep 34 - All About Samson

Samson and his self-defeating patterns.

Ep 33 - Bad Girls in the Bible: What Not To Do

The Bible is full of wisdom and guidance about what we should do. But there are also lots of stories that tell us what NOT to do! Here are two of them. 

Ep 32 - About Elizabeth... One of the Good Girls / Kind Women in the Bible

Elizabeth is one of my favorite women in the Bible. I love her and Zechariah's story, which can be found in Luke 1.Elizabeth is the mother of John the Baptist, and a relative of Mary, the mother of Jesus (possibly cousin).

Ep 31 - Make Plans But Appreciate the Present

Don't be an unappreciative leech!Proverbs 30:15-16Luke 12:13-21Philippians 4:6-71 Thessalonians 5:6-8

Ep 30 - Rain, Hail & Hail Mary

April's theme (Rainy Days in the Bible) was fun!We end the month with a discussion of rain and hail as a punishment - reading about foolish Jonah (chapter 1) who tried to get away from God by hiding on a ship; and that foolish, hard-headed Pharaoh (Exodus 9:13-35) who remained stiff-necked through all the plagues, including the plague of hail.
We also talked about where the phrase "Hail Mary" came from, and shared the foundational scriptures for the "Hail, Mary, full of grace prayer..." (Luke 1:28, 1:42 - KJV).

Ep 29 - Rain: Ask for What We Need

We continue the theme of "Rainy Days in the Bible" with Guest Host Daebreon Poiema, who shares a powerful message about how God's Word - and ANYTHING He sends down from heaven - does not return to Him void but achieves the purpose for which He sent it. This doesn't just include rain and snow, but most importantly, His Son.
Tonight's Scriptures:Genesis 2:5-6Zechariah 10:1Isaiah 55:1-13Leviticus 26:3-5Deuteronomy 28:11-13

Ep 28 - Elijah's Faith & the Rain that Followed

April's theme is "Rainy Days in the Bible."In 1 Kings 18, we learn about Elijah and his faith. This wonderful chapter has humor, suspense, and miracles.

Ep 27 - The First Rain in the Bible

This week, we continue with April's theme - "Rainy Days in the Bible."In chapters 6, 7 and 8 of Genesis, we learn about the first rain in the Bible - the story of Noah and the Ark. We also learn about Nephilim - the "sons of God" (angels, perhaps?) who came down and slept with the "daughters of men." It was a hot mess so God "rebooted" the Earth, wiped it clean and started over.
