This lesson deals with all the crazy stuff that happens in the everyday life of a human. Yahweh's path isn't always a walk through the park. Sometimes we go through the valley of the shadow of death. The main thing is that we keep the faith. We must run the race until we cross our finish line. Don't give up. Keep on keeping on.

She's been called the mystery woman by some historians. Who was Mary Magdalene? Was she the wife of the Lord? Did she engage in prostitution? Listen to learn of the portrait that Holy Scripture paints for us for this woman, and be amazed in the way that Almighty Yahweh works among His children.

The Samaritan woman in John 4 has usually gotten a bad rap. Why do people view her as a known sinner, when the text never says anything like this? In this lesson, I go through John 4 and hit the highlights, including the comments Yeshua made to her about her many husbands. You'll probably hear some things in this lesson that you've never heard before in a sermon.

During the ministry of Yeshua, he had several encounters with women. Did you know that he had women disciples who traveled along with him (with the twelve)? Listen to learn about the many ways which our Master included, upheld, and encouraged women - even in the midst of a culture that often did not do those things.

If you mention the name Huldah to the average church-goer, you will likely get a blank look from their face. Why is it that Huldah, a great prophetess of Yahweh, is overlooked or not even known? Listen to learn how she was used as Yahweh's spokeswoman at a time of distress in the nation of Judah.

In this lesson I begin looking at female prophets in the Bible. I look at the leadership roles of Miriam and Deborah, and highlight specifics in their life. Women that Yahweh used like this teach us that women can lead, even over men.

In order to understand the weight and significance of the prophetess we need to spend some time looking at what it meant to be a prophet. Whatever can be ascribed to the male prophet can also be ascribed to the prophetess (female prophet). This will help us grasp how important women like Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah were to the nation of Israel.

This lesson is part of the series of "Strong Women in Scripture," but it is more of an accompaniment sermon to the series. It was needed in order to highlight proper Bible study, and how this method of study has changed my views on so many issues in the last twenty plus years. The lesson centers in on letting the Older Testament be the foundation and basis for faith and practice.

We hear so much about Moses, but we rarely hear about the women who saved Moses early on in his life. Listen to learn about the bravery and faithfulness of the Hebrew women who lived in Egyptian bondage.

I've been in church my entire life, and I have never once heard a sermon taught on Leah (a wife of Jacob-Israel). The way Leah was treated and viewed was awful, but Scripture and history teaches that she remained steadfast towards Yahweh through it all. Listen to learn how her faithfulness finally gained the reward she had been looking for for many years.
