Current Study

We are currently studying in the book of Luke. Our emphasis in this study is to look at how God used women in His plan for Christ's life, how Christ Himself interacted with women and the lessons we can learn from these women. Study notes will again be provided (right side of blog). On Fridays, we air a segment called Real Life ~ Real Answers. Notes for these scenarios are located under the study notes section.

The Healing of Simon’s Mother-in-Law

As we look at this event in Luke 4: 38-39, we find that Christ is in Simon’s home. It also happens to be that Simon’s mother-in-law has a fever. The family appeals to Christ for this woman and Christ healed her of her illness. The response of Simon’s mother-in-law is intriguing. Scripture says “and immediately she rose and began to serve them.” Wow! What can we learn from her response to this God-ordained situation?  We can certainly see the emphasis that God’s grace is to be followed by gratitude and service.  Her thankfulness to the Lord was shown in her response of service to Him AND to the others.
