Women's Bible Study: Jesus & Women by Kristi McLelland

(currently not available)

"Take heart, daughter." Matthew 9:22

Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth—braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, "Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you." Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you.

Join biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland on those dusty roads as she transports you back to Jesus' world, stepping into the footsteps of the women who came face to face with the living God. Examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel your worship of Him today.

Welcome to this series of on-line study resources concerning spiritual gifts and giftedness. If you’re an individual, you may want to download and print the study guide for each session ahead of watching the video itself. If you’re a group leader, feel free to use the discussion guide in any way that seems helpful. We hope you enjoy the adventure of learning more about how God has gifted you and others for ministry.

Spiritual gifts are unique abilities which God gives each follower of Jesus to participate in what God wants to do in and through the Church. Healthy missional churches expect people to know and use their gifts, and this fall we're providing online resources through our website for you and others to do that. We will start by looking at the "big picture" and then get more focused on various kinds of giftedness, as well as as other topics related to serving Christ and others well.

*The last topics in the series include:

Session 9: Giftedness and Character

Session 10: Giftedness and Passion

Session 11: Giftedness and Humility

Session 12: The Role of Leadership

*Availability of Sessions 9-12 is temporarily suspended with the expectation that we will be able to resume for the last few sessions at a later date.
