Girlfriends Bible Study
Welcome to Girlfriends Bible Study – a live Bible Study with Connie & Friends! Join us each 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
Episodes
We begin our theme of "Wisdom, Learning and Experience in the Bible" with a question: "What if Wisdom was a human?"
Have you ever felt like you were doing more work than everyone else? Jesus deals with that very issue in Luke 10:38-42 and Matthew 20:1-16. There is truly nothing new under the sun!
Our August theme is "Wisdom, Learning, and Experience in the Bible." In this study, we discuss the wisdom of Solomon. 1 Kings 3, 4:29-34 - Solomon asks for and displays wisdom 1 Kings 10:1-13 - The Queen of Sheba seeks Solomon's wisdom 1 Kings 11:1-13 - Solomon's wives
How do you respond to mistakes? How do you want others to respond? In this Bible Study we discuss a Biblical response.
Luke 17:1-6 - Forgive 7 times a day Matthew 5:21-24 - Reconcile and forgive before coming to the altar Matthew 6:9-15 - The Lord's Prayer Mark 11:25-26 - Forgiveness and prayer Proverbs 17:9 - Love prospers with forgiveness but repeating an offense separates close friends Matthew 18:21-25 - The Ungrateful Servant (...
In this Bible Study we discuss the presumption of innocence and the great accuser.
Our Scriptures: Proverbs 28:13 1 John 1:8-10 Galatians 6:1-10 1 Peter 5:8 Revelation 12:10-11 Hebrews 10 Matthew 13:24
We end our theme of Favorite Siblings in the Bible with a study of Mary, Martha and Lazarus.
Scriptures about Mary Magdalene: Matthew 27:55-56, 61 Matthew 28:1-10 Mark 15:40-41, 47 Mark 16:1-11 Luke 8:1-3 Luke 24:1-11 John 19:25 John 20:1-2, 10-18
About Lazarus: John 11 John 12:1-11
About Mary & Martha: Luke 10:38-42
About Simon the Leper (possible father): Matthew 26:6-13 Mark 14:1-10
We begin our study of "Favorite Siblings in the Bible" with a discussion about Andrew & Simon Peter. (John 1:19-51) Interestingly enough, there are more siblings who don't get along in the Bible than those who do.
Two of my favorite people on the planet (Valarie & Spring) have a sibling-filled family and the closeness they share are the exception not the rule.
We begin a new theme - "Selfishness vs. Selflessness."
Selfishness is defined as "being concerned excessively or exclusively for oneself or one's own advantage, pleasure or welfare, regardless of others." Selflessness is often equated with altruism: "concern more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own."
Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (Love scripture) John 15:13 (Selfless love) Luke 10:25-37 (The Good Samaritan)

We finish our July theme of "Hotness in the Bible" with a study of some famous love stories in the Bible.
Adam & Eve (Didn't we almost have it all?) Boaz & Ruth (Second time around) Abraham & Sarah (Original Baby Mama Drama) Isaac & Rebekah (Playing favorites) Jacob, Rachel & Leah (Sibling rivalry) Samson & Delilah (Bad girls) Solomon & the Shulamite Woman Mary & Joseph
Our July theme is "Hotness in the Bible" and in this study we are talking about people who burned with lust in the Bible.
David & Bathsheba - 2 Samuel 11 & 12 Amnon & Tamar - 2 Samuel 13 Joseph & Potiphar's Wife - Genesis 39
And here are some words of wisdom: 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 Matthew 5:27-28 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
In this Bible Study (7/13/23), we continue our study of "Hotness in the Bible" as we discuss whether or not Jesus descended into hell (Hades) before ascending to the Father. We also read and discussed The Apostles Creed (which you can read here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostles%27_Creed).
Scripture references that support the descension: Colossians 2:15 Romans 6:8-10 Ephesians 4:9 Matthew 12:40
Scripture reference that impli...
July has begun and with it a new theme: "Hotness in the Bible."
In this Bible Study, we discuss the different names for "hell." We also read about Lazarus and the Rich Man.
SHEOL (Hebrew) (SHEE-all) In some texts, Sheol is considered to be the home of both the righteous and the wicked, separated into respective compartments; in others, it was considered a place of punishment, meant for the wicked dead alone, and is equated with Geh...
With all that's going on in the world, it can be hard to be hopeful. When our dreams haven't yet been fulfilled, it's hard to be hopeful. But without hope, without faith, our dreams and visions won't be fulfilled.
In this study, we read and discuss what the Bible says about hope and faith.
Psalm 42:11 Isaiah 40:31 Romans 4:18-25 Romans 5:5 2 Corinthians 1:10-11 Hebrews 6:13-20
The difference between hope and faith: Hebrews 11:1 Rom...
In this Bible Study, we continue our discussion about Siblings & Friends in the Bible. Our scriptures: Luke 10:38-42 - Jesus goes to visit Mary, Martha, and Lazarus - who become His friends John 11:1-44 - After the death of Lazarus, Jesus returns to His friends' home to raise him from the dead John 15:12-15 - Jesus tells His disciples, they are no longer just disciples, but friends
And from Proverbs, we learn about different ty...
In part one of this Bible Study we examine sibling rivalry, which began with the first recorded siblings in the Bible: Cain and Abel. Britannica defines sibling rivalry as "Intense competition among siblings for recognition and the attention of their parents." It further states that "sibling rivalry normally begins when a new baby is introduced to a family." Famous Siblings in the Bible: Cain & Abel - Genesis 4:1-12 Isaac &...
On tonight's Bible Study Live, we'll be reading in Numbers 13 & 14 about the Israelites who were unable to push through their fear and enter the promised land - the land they'd dreamed about. What dreams have you yet to accomplish because you haven't been able or willing to push through your fear?
Speaking truth to power doesn't always end well. Sometimes the results are miraculous. Other times they're disastrous. We take a look at several people who were imprisoned for telling the truth. Joseph - Genesis 39:6-23 Daniel - Daniel 6:13-24 Samson - Judges 16:18-21 Jeremiah - Jeremiah 37:1-2, 13-16 Paul & Silas - Acts 16:22-28 Peter - Acts 12:5-10 John the Baptist - Mark 6:17-24 Hebrews 11:32-40
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.
