Download or read book Lessons from the Bible s Lesser Knowns written by lee a. coppock and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This offering is a compilation of lesser-known Bible characters, their stories, and life examples taken from each. The format makes it even easier to digest and will keep the reader looking for what is next. Each entry is structured the following way: the honoree for each chapter is identified along with the number of verses that s/he appears in the Bible; the "Backstory" or the general context that gives rise to the events surrounding the lesser-known's application to daily life and living; the related scripture forming the basis for the lesson(s) to be considered; a cite or cites for further Scriptural study on this individual; the big one: A related set of takeaways for application. Each is carefully drafted to comport with the Scriptures; and footnotes citing proofs that can be readily accessed by those who are interested in deeper study. There are important life lessons exhibited by somewhat obscure Bible characters that are unaddressed in any other offering. A review of available topics in bookstores or a search for offerings online will show that there are many opportunities to learn from the Bible's better-known characters. Examples of those would include Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Ruth, David, Peter, the apostle Paul, and many others. While one may presume that hours spent learning from those examples are well-spent, there are within God's Word so many other accounts of individuals--lesser-known men and women. Recognizing and applying the truth of 2 Timothy 3:16: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching," it follows that among the many lesser-known Bible characters there are also valuable examples from which we might learn. An opportunity to do just that is what one may expect from these pages and no others.

Download or read book Lesser Known People of The Bible Black Women written by Dante Fortson and published by Dante Fortson. This book was released on with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only is the Bible full of strong women… it is full of strong black women. While it is often underplayed by mainstream Christianity, the majority of the Bible took place in Africa, and involved many women of color. In this study we'll look at the lives and lineages of the following women: + Hagar - Abraham's Egyptian wife. + Tamar - The Canaanite mother of Judah's twin sons. + Miriam - The older sister of Moses + Zipporah - Moses' Midianite wife. + Bathsheba - King Solomon's Canaanite mother. + Jezebel - King Ahab's wife from the line of Ham. + The Queen of Sheba - The Ethiopia queen that came to visit King Solomon. + Mary Magdalene - The woman with seven devils cast out by Christ. The presence of these women in the Bible is often a sticking point for many because most of them descended from the line of Ham. Those that didn't come from the line of Ham were Hebrews, which were often mistaken as descendants of Ham. If you've never done a study on who these women are, which lines they come from, and the roles they play in history, then make sure you grab this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn from the fierce women of God who changed the world. The word fierce is trendy. It is used to describe women who are extreme athletes, high-level executives, or supermodels. Women at the top of their game. But what about the rest of us? Can we be fierce? Absolutely! In fact, women like us have been changing the world for thousands of years—many who received little fanfare yet lived fiercely anyway. In this six-week study we will look at lesser-known female characters in the Bible and the ways they changed the world by living into God’s calling, including: The midwives of Egypt (Shiphrah and Puah), who made hard decisions in the face of evil Deborah, who was an unlikely and powerful leader Naaman's slave girl, who bravely points others to God's healing power The Woman at the Well, who boldly repented and shared her faith Lois and Eunice, who parented with intentionality and effectiveness Dorcas, who showed kindness to those in need. As we explore their lives, we will discover how we too can live into our callings, honor the Lord, and even change the world through our courage, faithfulness, and obedience. Bible Study Features: A six-week study of lesser-known female characters in the Bible. Helps women consider how they can be fierce women of God. Workbook includes five devotional lessons for every week of study. Each DVD segment features an opening “fierce” vignette followed by engaging Bible teaching with practical life application.

Download or read book Lesser Known Bible Characters written by Carolyn A. Roth and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As you read through the Bible, you discovered hundreds of individuals who were mentioned only once or twice; i.e., Hirah, Tattenai. They appeared, only to promptly disappear in the next couple of verses or chapter. Like me, you may have thought, "Surely, a more important character, action, or truth could have been put in the limited Bible space?" The apostle Paul answered our question, "Why are they even there?" He wrote that all scripture is valuable for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness. We are to learn from the lives and actions of lesser known Bible characters. Their actions--the ones consistent with god's commands and those outside god's guidelines--are object lessons for our lives. When I read and reread Bible stories of lesser known characters, I saw that they didn't act in isolation. None was a hermit or recluse. None acted independently from other individuals in their environment. All was in one or more relationship, and relationships influenced their behavior. I concluded that the optimal way to study lesser known Bible characters was to look at their relational behavior. Join me in studying the behavior of seventy lesser known Bible personalities. See how their behavior mirrors yours. Utilize successes and failures in their relationships to enhance your relationships in the twenty-first century.

Don’t miss it!” —ANNA RAMOS, PHD, LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR (LMHC) “‘Some of our women amazed us,’ exclaimed a Jesus follower to a stranger on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:22, NIV). This was spoken before his spiritual eyes were opened to see the Lord. Don Wilkerson has opened our eyes to see and hear amazing voices of lesser-known women of the Bible. Many of them you will meet for the first time, learning the ways of God and how He has been speaking through women since the beginning of time. Read, learn, and enjoy this book.” —KAY ZELLO, BIBLE TEACHER, CONFERENCE SPEAKER “I was fascinated as I read through the stories of these lesser-known women in the Bible. Rizpah, Huldah, and Vashti are my favorite enlightening examples. As I devoured this encouraging devotional, I saw the intentional hand of God woven throughout history by His precious daughters being used for His glory. I was especially delighted to see Jael featured in this book! Our daughter’s middle name is Jael, as we love the story of Jael’s great courage. If you are a treasure seeker, then you’ll want to discover the other hidden gems of women like Jael in the Bible. But don’t take the word of this ordinary woman; read it for yourself and be built up in your faith today.” —MARIAH NOELLE FREEMAN, AUTHOR, FROM HEROIN TO HEAVEN
