Text: Romans 16:1-2

Theme: The Power of a Godly Woman

Three Principles from the Life of Phoebe

* She was a sister worthy of recognition

* She was a servant worthy of commendation

* The best way to prepare for doing great things for God

is to serve where you are with what you have now

–no matter how small the task

* Phoebe was most likely a deaconess in her church in Cenchrae

* Character qualities modeled by Phoebe

* Courage

* Consistency/Faithfulness

* She was a supporter worthy of cooperation

* Phoebe financially supported several of those who labored in the gospel

* Serving starts right now and right here

–not when you eventually get to the mission field you have been called to

 

Live It Out

* Earn your influence by loving and serving others

* Live a life that others can imitate

* Live for something that lasts forever

 

Let us seek to produce godly women and then give them the honor
