Being Busy at Home

Jennifer hung up the kitchen towel, took one last look at the kitchen and smiled as she had completed the task of doing the dishes after dinner. She walked out to the living room and notices the children have failed to pick up their toys after dinner as they were told.  She then remembered that there was laundry needing to be folded, lunches to get ready for her children and clothes to be ironed for her husband the next day. Jennifer sighed as she continued on working to complete these various tasks. She wondered if she was ever going to get to sit down that night and finally have her quiet time with the Lord like she was hoping.  The battle in her mind was now beginning as she had a choice to serve her family happily or complain about the work to be done.

* What are some biblical principles Jennifer can remember as she fights to maintain a good attitude while working at home?

* How can women like Jennifer strive to maintain the balance of housework and time spent in God’s Word?

Time to Fellowship & Pray

The wives in Acts 21:1-6, were taking time to pray and fellowship with Paul and others.  Are you taking time to fellowship and pray with others like the women in this passage? What are some ways in which you can do this in your own life? How do you communicate the importance and value of fellowship and prayer? Join us today as we discuss this and more.

The wives and the children

Luke continues to show how God used women in the early church and in Acts 21:1-6 Luke even includes the children! We enjoy thinking about these believers,their love for one another and for Paul. What a sweet image this brings to our mind where the children are included in the prayer time and farewell. Little people hugs are always precious and I imagine Paul enjoyed every single one.

Big idols or little idols they are all the same

We don't bow down and worship little statues like the folks in Acts but we do need to evaluate what we worship. The way we spend our time and money reveal what we worship. What we think about all day long also gives us a clue as to what our heart is set on having or serving. Oh may our hearts worship and praise the one true living God!

Sharathon 2012

Did you know that Women in the Word is produced by WCTS Radio? Two or three times a month, three ladies from our team meet for a Bible study and are surrounded by microphones, headsets and accompanied by our friend Todd who faithfully records for the program for us.  Our Bible study program is also exclusively heard on WCTS Radio and we are thankful for the people involved in editing and getting ready the program to air each weekday.

Whose body is it anyway? Real life, Real answers

Okay, this is not my favorite topic but it is a critical part of our sanctification. Knowing God's Word and connecting the truths to moment-by-moment life can be a struggle. Today the ladies share practical ways to connect the dots between scripture and daily life. Knowing AND doing biblical principles is possible!

Ouch!

Do I over react? Do I want to admit I over react? These are tough questions to honestly answer and even tougher to address. We often can identify a sin problem in our life but knowing what to do next can be a challenge. Today we visit abut how to identify and then change this sinful response. Join us, if you are brave enough!

Goddess Artemis

Interesting how this "woman" the goddess Artemis, who was an idol, affected so many lives from many places. This passage in Acts 19:23-37 is a fascinating account and you don't want to miss our conversation. Be sure to read for yourself how God's Word was changing the world. The contrast between Paul and Demetrius is worth investigating and helpful in checking my own motives for what I worship.

A prayer request for our listeners...

Did you know that Women in the Word is exclusively produced and aired on WCTS Radio?  God began our Bible study program almost 5 years ago and it has been a privilege to share and study God's Word with you.

Next week (September 17-21, 2012) WCTS Radio will host it's annual Sharathon. This is a time for listeners and friends to financially support the ministry of WCTS Radio.  Would you pray about giving financially to support the station?  Your gift will be tax deductible and will be used to further the work and meet the needs of the station.  Please go to http://www.wctsradio.com/ for more information and/or to donate online.

Thank you,
Because of Christ,
Sarah

Money Trouble

As you talk with your husband about his recent paycheck and bills that need to be paid with that money, you realize that he has not talked about giving money to your church. You ask him about it and he says that there isn’t enough to go to the church because there are too many bills to pay right now. He explains that when everything is caught up, he’ll give some money to the church. Your heart sinks. You know that God desires faithfulness in giving.

*How can you submissively and respectfully talk with your husband about Biblical principles of giving?

*What if he doesn’t agree with you?

*How can you pray for him?

Results of Discipleship

Because Priscilla and Aquila took time to disciple Apollos, he went out and continued the work of the ministry elsewhere. Join us today as we discuss these results of their selfless actions.

A Look at Ourselves

How can you choose to be more like Priscilla? What can be changed so that you are more active in discipleship like she was? What are other character traits that she possessed that you would love to practice in your own life? Join us today as we discuss these questions and more.

Priscilla's Example of Discipleship

Priscilla and Aquila meet Apollos and hear him preaching. However, they find that he is missing a good bit of information. Instead of correcting him publicly, they bring them into their home and disciple him. Priscilla could have had many excuses to not do this, yet she made time to reach out to him. What are you doing to disciples others?

A Sacrifice of Staying Behind

Paul leaves for Ephesus and Priscilla and Aquila join him on his journey. They travel with him as far as Ephesus. There they find that the church is not established enough for the entire group to move on. Priscilla and Aquila make the sacrifice to stay behind and continue the work of the ministry. Because of this sacrifice, God uses them in great ways.
