We’re closing out our summer series with two sisters! Mary and Martha from the New Testament.

We’re diving into two stories today. One from Luke and one from John. These two sisters have different responses in both stories. We find some interesting takeaways in these two stories today.

First Story: Jesus visits Martha and Mary
What does their faith look like, and what are their priorities? This story has only 4 verses, but a powerful message!

Ponder points:
What do our prayers to God look like: Do we tell God ‘what to do’ sometimes in our prayers?

What do our priorities look like in our daily walk: Is God at the center?

Second Story: Centered on the two sisters’ brother, Lazarus
In this story, we discuss Jesus' waiting to go to Lazarus upon hearing of his situation. We find Jesus crying in this story - the shortest verse in the Bible "Jesus wept". We talk about the similarities in this story to the redemption story of Jesus.

Ponder points:

Do we trust in God’s timing in our lives?

God’s love is unconditional.

AND we are wrapping up this Summer Series by sharing our key takeaways and a challenge for you!

Join us for this final episode of “Women in the Bible” today. And always remember to: Pour Out Your Joy!
