Girlfriends Bible Study

Our May theme - Dreams in the Bible - was fascinating and enlightening.

We end with a study of Pharaoh's dreams and King Nebuchadnezzar's dreams. Both of these men were rich and powerful and yet they were unable to interpret their own dreams. They had to humble themselves and ask for help. Joseph and Daniel were up to the task. They both gave glory to God and made it clear that it was God doing the interpretation.

We learned a new ...

June 2023 began a new theme for Bible Study Live with Connie & Friends - "Playfulness in the Bible." Here to kick things off is our wonderful Guest Host Daebreon Poiema. God dropped a powerful word into Daebreon's spirit as she made an analogy between the Garden of Eden - the playroom that God created for us, and the nursery that new parents decorate and prepare for their new baby. God gave Adam "toys," which were the animals h...

We continue our study on "Playfulness in the Bible" with a look at celebrations, parties, and feasts. Genesis 31:26-27 references a farewell party that Laban would have supposedly thrown for Jacob. Pharaoh threw himself a big birthday party with all of his officials in Genesis 40:20-22. And in Judges 14:7-18, we read about a 7-day bridegroom party that Samson threw for him and his boys. 

Most importantly, in reading these scripture...

There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10), including spiritual warfare. As difficult and dark as these times are in our country and the world, it's not new to God, nor is it a surprise. Most importantly, He knows (and has known) the end from the beginning. Since we really are in a repeating pattern, we need to be reminded and encouraged about how this will end.

Tonight, we're talking about laughter in the Bible - and our own laughter when we read the Bible. Sarah laughed when she heard God's messengers say that she'd have a son in the following year. The Bible said she was well past childbearing age. Did she scoff or snort laugh, I wonder. Speaking of snort laugh - enjoy this clip of Daphne from "Bridgerton" snort-laughing when the prince compliments her on her dress. https://www.youtube....

We continue our theme "Bad Girls / Rude Women" with a look at two spouses - Eve (Adam's sig other) and Michal (David's wife, Saul's daughter). Eve was bad and Michal was rude! Eve's story plays out in Genesis 3:1-13. She knew what Adam had told her; and she knew he heard it from God Himself. Yet, when some slithering stranger came up to her, she listened to him instead of checking in with her husband. And Michal, she despised David...

We continue our theme of "Reaping & Sowing" with a review of two titans in the Bible - David and Jacob.

King David's affair with Bathsheba and the subsequent murder of her husband Uriah (when it was revealed that the King had gotten her pregnant) was a horrible seed sown. It had an immediate "reaping" effect as they lost their son. (2 Samuel 11:1-17, 26 and 2 Samuel 12:7-20, 24-25)

Jacob sowed a seed of deception when he pulled...
