2-02-25 Biblical-Literacy Dr. David Capes led another lesson of Lessor Known Women ofthe Bible with an interview of Dr. Nancy Dawson, author of All the Genealogies of the Bible. Dr. Lawson received her doctorate in biology and always held an interest in theology. In this lesson she focused on three of the five women named in Matthew 1 who are part of the line of Jesus’ genealogy. These three woman held the genealogy line for Judah: Tamar: Gentile not a Jew. Rahab: Gentile not a Jew Bathsheba: Jew and wife of Uriah. She held a special place in both the paternal/legal and biological genealogies of Jesus. Listen to Dr. Dawson explain the culture and customs of the times that placed these women in Jesus’s genealogy with stories of repentance and symbolism. Points for home: God works through all things to complete His purpose. We must have faithful hope in God’s plan. We are the privileged people to study God’s word and live for Him.l…
Dr. David Capes interviewed Dr. Federico Villanueva, regional commissioning editor for Langham Publishing and scholar care coordinator for current Langham Scholars in Asia. He teaches at the Asia Graduate School of Theology and Loyola School of Theology in Manila, Philippines, and is known for his focus on the church knowing the importance of lament as in the Psalms, Lamentations, and other areas of the Bible. Dr. Villanueva grew up in the Philippines. He is married with two children. He shared that lament comes from experiencing difficult situations and rises out of an intimate relationship and need for God. Without expressing lament, we risk losing our faith unless God steps in. The church needs both praises and laments / cries of the people. One should never become used to suffering in the world. During life, we experience a cycle of three seasons: orientation - when life is generally good, disorientation - when experiencing a tragedy, and then new orientation - thanksgiving. Listen to Dr. Federico Villanueva share his heart on how we are to bring our laments to God as prayers for help. There is room to be not-OK in our relationship with God. If we don’t express our lament to God and trusted others, we can stifle our growth and intimacy with God and others.…

Mark continued the series on The Lesser-Known Bible Women by focusing on Zipporah, Moses’s wife, as found in Exodus 4:24-26. He unpacked the meaning behind her striking statement: “You are a bridegroom of blood.” The Context In Moses’s time, culture dictated every aspect of life. Mark began by revisiting the pivotal moment of the burning bush, where God called Moses to lead His people out of slavery in Egypt. The Story Mark contrasted Moses’s two departures from Egypt. The first time, Moses left alone, desperate, and powerless. The second time, God had provided for every need, equipping Moses for the mission ahead. Zipporah’s act of circumcising her son reflects the covenant of blood—a foreshadowing of Jesus’s ultimate sacrifice. Points for Home God is with you! God is with you in power! God is with you in covenant! Listen as Mark delves into the murky waters of Moses’s life and culture, revealing how God made Himself known and displayed His immeasurable power.

In this first lesson of 2025, Mark continues the Lesser Known Women of the Bible series by exploring the intriguing reference to the “elect lady” in 2 John. Who is the lady? - A majority of scholars interpret the “elect lady” as a metaphor for the local church - the unified body of Christ chosen by God, living in truth and love. Central Theme: truth in Christ - Mark traces the overarching biblical narrative of God dwelling with humanity: from Eden to the Tabernacle, the Temple, the Church as Christ’s body, and within each believer as His image-bearer. Truth is God’s authentic and revealed word, never hidden but always genuine. Love and truth both originate from God’s divine nature. Modern Application or Take home points: The importance and power of community. Reflect on the lengths God goes to dwell with us. Are we walking with Him? Hold fast to truth and love in our daily lives. Discover how we are part of the “elect lady” and explore God’s profound love and desire to dwell with us as we grow in His truth through His Word.…

Mark continued the series Lesser-Known Women of the Bible with a focus on Shiphrah and Puah, two of God’s unlikely heroes. The Crisis: Egypt enslaved the Israelites when their increasingly large population became a threat. Pharaoh ordered the midwives to kill all newborn male babies. The Courage: Midwives Shiphra and Puah faced the choice of living or killing the babies. They chose life and feared God. The Blessings: God gave the midwives families. Point for home: God often works through the smallest things to accomplish His purposes. Listen to Mark teach the new era of Egypt in which the Pharaoh did not know Joseph or care about the Israelites. Humanity tends to establish their own plans against God’s will. This results in deliberate rejection not just lack of knowledge. Shiphrah and Puah are the first historical instance of civil disobedience.…

Dr. Fleming’s roadmap for the lesson included: 1. Context: King Xerxses held a massive feast for seven days to show his wealth and power. Queen Vashti and ladies left, but other women joined the king and his guests. 2. Vashti’s story: The king ordered Vashti to attend on day seven in a degrading fashion.

11-17-24 Biblical-Literacy Mark Continued in the Lesser-Known Women of the Bible series with a snapshot of the daughters of Zelophehad, five sisters from the tribe of Manasseh who changed the law. The story is from Numbers 26 and 27. 1. The story: Zelophehad had no sons, and his daughters ask Moses for their father’s land. The Lord agrees. 2. The context. A person’s name in the OT days was an identifier, character and actions, continuity of being or existence, community memory/placement, and spiritual: place in God’s covenant. Land: theological significance. God’s fulfillment of Abrahamic promise, a divine inheritance. The land ties the people to God. Economic reality. 3. The application. Points for home: 1) Reflect the name of Jesus. Our name is more than an identifier, It is our character and actions should reflect Jesus. 2) Our inheritance isn’t land but in the saints and riches in Christ. Listen to Mark teach the courage and boldness of the five daughters of Zelophehad, the significance of names, the meaning of land, and the archeological proof of the sisters’ existence and impact.…
11-10-24 Biblical-Literacy Mark continued in the series Lesser-Known Women of the Bible. Today’s woman was a "wise woman” from 2 Samuel 20, who helped save her city by turning over Sheba to Joab and his army. The storyline: Sheba was a worthless man who encouraged the northern tribes of Israel to rebel against King David. Worthless in those days meant not living for God, did not know God, and didn’t use what he had to honor God. The woman termed wise was shrewd, crafty, and cunning. The contrast: Worthless leads to death, and wise leads to life. Points for home included these three passages: Prov 10:8 Prov 12:18 Prov 14:16 Listen to Mark teach on the culture and setting of this lesson’s time. The nation under King David was a loose confederation of twelve tribes, not united. Mark's explanation of worthless and wise show us a better understanding of the people then and how we should live today.…
Pastor David Fleming taught Lesser Known Women of the Bible with focus on Lydia from Acts 16 during Paul’s second missionary trip. Pastor David share three areas of focus: 1. Story before the story: Paul was called from a dream to Macedonia. In Philippi, which had no synagogue, he and Silas gathered to pray outside the city gates by a body of water in prayer house. Paul found only women and met Lydia, who was a God worshipper. 2. Story of conversion: God opened Lydia’s heart to pay attention, and she became a believer. 3. Story still being written: Lydia was baptized along with her household. She invited Paul and Silas to stay with her. They encouraged Lydia and all the new followers before leaving. Points for home: Lydia’s story should challenge us. Lydia’s story should inspire us. Lydia’s story should encourage us. Listen to Pastor David provide insights into the culture and tradition of the time regarding women, and what it means for Lydia to be the first convert in Europe. Jesus radically transformed the role of women, and Paul followed in His footsteps. Women were vital in growing the first century church.…

This story shows what happens when God is not King, and everyone does what they believe is right in their own eyes.…
