Lent Blog a look at some of the women of the Bible and how they simplified their lives to discover the truth about the work of God in their lives.  

See what the P-Q-R-S-T principle is...

“Scars” are those things in our life that keep us from being fully a holy people of God. “Stars” make us stronger and wiser. When we identify and ask God to heal our scars we become more truly the child of God we were born to be as our scars are transformed into stars.

Joseph, favored son of Jacob bar Isaac, is sold into slavery by his brothers. Slowly he learns to turn his scars into stars. Paul wrote to the Philippians while in prison, yet his faith in the Lord is obvious and gives insight into how a Christian’s scars become stars.

By comparing Joseph’s story to the Letter of Paul to the Philippians, we too can learn to let God turn our scars into stars.

Enter the Tabernacle

Holy Symbolism for your Life

This study offers a look inside the tabernacle built from God’s design as a place of worship in the wilderness and used until Solomon built a temple to the Lord in Jerusalem.

By drawing comparisons to church space and worship throughout the ages, you’ll see how the design of the Tabernacle influenced and still impacts our worship spaces. Jesus Christ is our access to God. We are, as Paul says, the tabernacle of the Spirit. By looking at the construction and furnishings of the ancient tabernacle in relation to our personal worship, we find new depth to the relationship with our Lord.

While this can be used as an individual or small group study, a more in depth look at the Tabernacle and its symbolism for Christians can be gained during a weekend retreat led by Cynthia. Contact Cynthia here for more information.

Works or Faith

Leah is a woman like many of us. Her identity is tied to what others think of her and their expectations of her. Sometimes her faith in the God of Jacob is strong enough to sustain her. More often, she tried to work hard in order to be accepted. By studying Leah’s response to the challenges in her life, we can learn to accept ourselves, our faith, and God’s love more fully. Leah tried to work hard to attain acceptance and love from Jacob, only gradually realizing that it was God’s love that was more important.

In these 12 lessons you will look at what Leah’s life and the Letter of James can teach about seeking approval from God and each other through works rather than by faith.

Molly Moss

You can read an excerpt of  this Parable, illustrated by Tristan Stephenson & order a copy from Cynthia Davis.

Seed Sown Parables are little inspirational gifts for meditation and entertainment that will plant a seed in the reader’s heart and mind. As we open up like plants, we are closer to being more truly who we each are as a Beloved Child of God .

“These little stories teach life lessons in a way that both adults and children enjoy,” says Cynthia. “Tristan Stephenson, a talented, budding artist, has illustrated Molly Moss. Perfect for retreats with Bible study or book groups. You will explore ways to let God grow your faith through reading the parable  and in discussions.”

Molly Moss is the story of an unhappy moss who learns that what she does is very important to others. Other parables are:

• Theresa the Tree is a tree who thinks that she is useless. It takes a friendly mole to show her the truth.

•   Cecilia the Cloud tells the story of a small cloud who finds that love and compassion are all she needs to share the gift of rain with some desperate flowers.

•   Andrea the Apricot Bud learns from a busy bee that she has to open up to really experience life and become what she is supposed to be.

•  Anna the Aspen gets help from a squirrel to discover that  loss is not a bad thing.

• Bonnie the Bush learns how to share her story by learning to be vulnerable.

• Francis the Fig Tree is the story of redemption as learned by the fig tree outside Jerusalem that Jesus cursed.

• Penelope the Pansy is the story of a little seed that  finds herself growing and changing despite herself.

• Holly the Honeysuckle finds out that while pruning may be uncomfortable, it is sometimes necessary.

This study explores the eternal question of Where God is when ‘bad things happen to good people’? Miriam experienced the despair and fear of bondage in Egypt, which led her to question her faith. Even during the Exodus, she found it difficult to remember that God is in control. We too often lose sight of the Holy One when life if difficult. This study looks at how this woman of the Bible can help us find answers to that question.

Divided into sections relating to portions of the book, you will find  questions for your group that are sure to spark enthusiastic discussions.

Study available separately from Cynthia or is included in the 3rd Edition of Miriam's Healing which can be ordered here.
