Reading Part 1

Reading Part 2

Reading Part 3

Questions From The Book: Women of The Bible -Jean E. Syswerda

Read Genesis 2:21-25

1. Describe Adam's situation (2:18, 20). In paradise, what need did he have that only a woman could fulfill?

2. What does being "one flesh" (2:24) in a marriage mean, both phsycially and spiritually?

3. Think of a couple who truly seems to be "one flesh". What is their relationship like?

Read Genesis 3:1-13

4. Genesis 3:1-5 is one of the saddest passages in Scripture, but also the one that sets the stage for all that is to come. How easily do you think the serpent deceived Eve? Do you think she ate of the fruit the first time he approached her, or did he wear her down over a period of time?

5. Why did Eve eat the fruit (3:6)?

6. Eve is rationalizing her sin here. Even though she knew it was wrong, she came up with three reasons for eating from the tree. What sorts of reasons do you come up with to rationalize your sin?

7.  Adam and Eve produce a classic scene of passing the blame: Adam blames Eve; Eve blames the serpent (3:12-13). Is any one of the three participants any more or less to blame? Whatt do the curses God pronounces on each tell you about who is "at fault" (3:14-19)

Read Genesis 3:20-24

8. What is the first thing God does for Adam and Eve after he declares what their punishment will be?

9. What does God's act tell you about Him? What do you think He will do for you after you have sinned and repented?

Read Genesis 4:1-2

10.  Whom does Eve acknowledge as the source of life (4:1)?

11. Eve now has two sons (4:2). Cain's name is Hebrew for "brought forth," while Abel's name means "breath" or "temporary" or "meaningless" It is the same Hebrew word used in Ecclesiates 1:2. Certainly, Abel's life was not meaningless, but it was short, and his name suggests what was to come. Compare Abel's name here and the verse in Ecclesiates. What connections can you see between the two?

NEXT MEETING/WEBINAR

“Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.”


We were created, this is a FACT.
What was in the mind of the Creator when He created is revelation TRUTH.

Dr. Myles Munroe says “Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.”

Is it a wonder why the world is so “out of order”?

Is it possible the created purpose is unknown, hence abused?

God’s Word says:

·         “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding” Proverbs 4:7

·         “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”  2 Timothy 2:15

·         “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge”  Hosea 4:6

The 52 Week Study of Women of The Bible is to fulfill our obligation and responsibility to study and show ourselves approved.
What does it mean to be a Woman of God?

What are the roles and responsibilities?

What power do we hold?

What should we be mindful of?

During our 52 Week journey we will learn from the Women of the Bible. God does not mention things by happenstance or accident. Each Word in the Bible is God breathed and deliberate. Let’s allow God’s Word to be a lamp to our feet and light to our pathway…
