Girlfriends Bible Study
Welcome to Girlfriends Bible Study – a live Bible Study with Connie & Friends! Join us each Monday & Thursday at 7:00pm (ET) as Connie and her girlfriends engage in a lively conversation as they study the Bible. We talk about everything from humor in the Bible to bad girls in the Bible, from miracles to tragedies. Most importantly, we reflect on how the message has applied to our lives. If you want to see us on camera, you can watch via YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@GirlfriendsBibleStudy

We continue our study on speaking truth to power with a look at Daniel 2 and Micaiah (1 Kings 22). We learn there's a time to speak to a fool and a time to ignore him (Proverbs 26:4-5). Margaret Mead's powerful quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" illustrates how powerful a group can be. We see this Biblically in Genesis 11:1-9 (the...
Speaking truth to power is not always easy. In fact, it can be terrifying! But it is necessary - for correction, truth, confirmation and for clarity. We discuss several examples of this in Scripture. Esther - Esther 4:9-17, 5:1-8, 7:1-6 Lady Who Wanted Crumbs - Matthew 15:21-28 Gideon - Judges 6:36-40 Nathan and David - 2 Samuel 12:1-14 Abraham / Sodom and Gomorrah - Genesis 18:22-33 Abigail & David - 1 Samuel 25:23-31
In our theme of "Water," we first talk about "Jesus & Water."
His first miracle was turning water into wine. (John 2:1-11) Jesus calmed the storm. (Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25) Jesus walked on water. (Matthew 14:22-36, Mark 6:45-56, John 6:16-24)
It was interesting to note that people touched the hem of Jesus' cloak before the woman with the issue of blood did so.
We continue our theme of "Water" with a study of Moses and how he miraculously brought water from a rock, in obedience (Exodus 17:1-7) and in disobedience (Numbers 20:1-13).
Hosted by the wonderful and wise Bria Lacour, this study finishes our theme of "Water." In her message, "Water and the Presence of the Triune God," Bria shares how water figures prominently in the beginning, middle and end, and how God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are there.
Scriptures: Genesis 1:1-2 (God formed and separated the water) Matthew 3:13-17 (Jesus baptized) Revelation 22:1, 17 (Eden restored)
Special guest host Bria Lacour continued our theme of "forgiveness" by engaging us in an excellent study about the prison of unforgiveness.
Scriptures: Matthew 18:21-35 - The Unmerciful Servant Ephesians 4:32 - We're reminded to forgive as we've been forgiven Luke 7:47-48 - Jesus forgives sins
We finish our theme "Bad Girls / Rude Women" with a look at some of the little-known worst women in the Bible. ~ Lot's Daughters (Genesis 19:30-38) ~ Rebekah (Genesis 27:1-17) ~ Herodias and her daughter (Luke 3:18-20, Mark 6:17-28, Matthew 14:1-12) ~ Athaliah (2 Kings 8:16-18, 2 Kings 8:23-26, 2 Kings 11:1-16, 2 Chronicles 22, 23)
We also talk about some of the women who are considered "bad" but did good. ~ Rahab (Joshua 2) ~ Jael...
We began our April theme (Good Girls / Kind Women) with a look at several women who saved babies in the Bible.
Jehosheba and Zibiah - who saved the future king Joash (2 Chronicles 22:10-12, 23:1-21; 24:1-2) Jochebed, Miriam, Pharaoh's Daughter, and Pharaoh's Daughter's Servant Girl - who saved Moses (Exodus 2:1-10; 6:13-14, 16, 18, 20, 26) Mary mother of Jesus (Matthew 2:1-23; Luke 1:26-55, 2:1-40)
We also gave an honorable mentio...
Our last message for our Good Girls / Kind Women theme is about the good women who found Jesus' tomb empty.
Scripture: Luke 23:50-56 Luke 24:1-35
Tonight we are learning about angels in Genesis 18 and 19.
We finish our theme of Angels in the Bible tonight with random Biblical trivia. Genesis 2:1 - Angels were created by God Luke 20:27-36, Matthew 22:30 - Angels can't die and don't marry Job 38:1-7 - They were present when God created the earth 2 Samuel 14:17, 19, 20, Daniel 9:20-22 - Angels are wise and intelligent Daniel 9:21, Revelation 14:6 - Angels are fast; they fly Revelation 19:9-10 - Angels are NOT to be worshipped 1 Peter 3...
In this Bible Study, we read what the Word says about "what we deserve." We also look up the word "deserve," which is often synonymous with "entitled to," versus its intended meaning of "to serve." We have to consider our lives as part of the whole, and as part of the purpose we were created for. If Jesus only dealt with what He "deserved," He would have never been on the cross. There's a bigger picture. Our scriptures: Deuteronom...
How do you describe the character of Jesus? Are you able to do it at all? Does He feel like someone you know? Or someone you've heard about? If you are a follower of His, you should be able to describe His character. Conversely, if you are an ardent opposer of His, you should also be able to describe His character - your perception of it. Here are a just a few of the things I know, love and appreciate about Jesus's character: ~ He...
Tonight we're reading from 1 Samuel 25.
Tonight begins a new Bible Study theme "Dreams in the Bible." This study talks about "Dreams that Reveal the Truth." We read the story of Abraham saying that his wife Sarah was his sister, and we read when God revealed to Joseph that his wife Mary really was with child from the Holy Spirit.
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.
Satan Tempts Jesus Mark 1:9-13 Matthew 4:1-11 Luke 4:1-1...
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....
