This series is called “Back to Sunday School.” Each week we will look at another lesson we may not have visited outside of a children’s Sunday school classroom. Our message today is “A Lone Shepherd.” Today we explore the story of David and Goliath as we explore individuality and faith. Let us continue to grow in wisdom and grace as we continue to learn.
We continue our series called “Matriarchs of Christ.” Each week we look at a different woman that is listed in the genealogy of Jesus from Matthew’s Gospel. Our message today is “Bathsheba.” We read today about Bathsheba and her strength and courage. We hear about faith from unexpected places in unexpected ways.
Our scripture readings come from 1 Kings 1:11-21, 28-31; Acts 7:44-47; and Matthew 12:38-42.
The fourth message in our Women in Jesus’ Genealogy series is focused on “Bathsheba.” We look at Bathsheba being instrumental to place Solomon on the throne as king. So why would she be included in Matthew? What do we learn about her strength? Her perseverance? How does her story relate to the ministry of Christ? Join us as we explore their faith journey and ours.
