Role of women in God’s work today

Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few prominent women. — Acts 17:4

Women have always played an important role in the work of God. This was especially true in Macedonia (Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea) in the first century. In each of these places, many of the leading women of the community were touched by the Gospel. We know they played important roles in supporting the missionary enterprise (Lydia) and sharing the Gospel with those around them (Euodia and Syntyche). Why not take time today to let a godly woman in your congregation know how important she is to the Lord's work and to you.

Ashamed

Genesis 2:25

Adam and his wife were both naked,  and they felt no shame.

Judges 3:25

They waited to the point of embarrassment,  but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their lord fallen to the floor, dead.

Bare

Isaiah 32:11

Tremble,  you complacent women;

 shudder, you daughters who feel secure! 

 Strip off your fine clothes 

 and wrap yourselves in rags.

Isaiah 52:10

The Lord will lay bare his holy arm 

 in the sight of all the nations, 

 and all the ends of the earth  will see

 the salvation  of our Go

Intimate with Jesus

John 14:9

Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.  How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Worship

Genesis 12:8

From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel  and pitched his tent,  with Bethel on the west and Ai  on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
