“All the Women of the Bible” by Herbert Lockyer.  The Bibles used in this study are NKJV or NIV.  Salvation is a prerequisite for the Unfinished Women Ministry.

January 13, 2025 - MEETING NOTES

Attendees: Pat, Diane, Sandra, Pauline, Xavier, Jan, and Brenda 

The meeting started at 6:45. All members were welcomed and Pastor Jackson gave a brief of what the ministry was all about. We also have a new member: Angela Sims. Future meetings will begin at the top of the hour (Times: 5:00 PM (Pacific) 7:00 PM (Central) 8:00 PM (Eastern)) with the mandate, scripture, and prayer. We will add a roundtable for discussion and sharing the last 30 minutes of the study.

Our study was on Rehab. We read Joshua Joshua 2:1-21. Did you know Rahab was a prostitute? Yes, she was. She was a prostitute 1,000 years before Jesus was born. Rahab ended up in the genealogy of Jesus. (Matthew 1:5). Note: a woman being mentioned in a genealogy was unheard of. This all happened during the uproar of the Battle of Jericho.

Scripture tells us that a couple of Israelite men showed up to spy on the city of Jericho. They went to the house of a prostitute. Rahab lied to the king’s men. The king sent a message to Rehab: “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house because they have come to spy out the whole land.” (Joshua 2:3). Rahab saved her family.

What was so special about Rahab? How did she help the city of Jericho?

Pastor Jackie asked a question, “Was Rahab a bad girl?” No, she was not. Sandra Lewis also gave a great review on Rahab. 

Question: Was God pleased with the lie Rahab told? God is more interested in the concept of faith and not correct behavior as He is faith. He always seeks a personal relationship.

Our study on women of the Bible teaches us that we learn from the past for the future. There are so many amazing women in the Bible, some with names and some without names. Our goal is to study them all and learn from them.  Lots of questions and answers - great bible study.

Pastor Jackie also announced the Unfinished Women Ministry quilt giveaway. Thank you for submitting your numbers. There is still time to submit your number if you have not.  The winner will be announced in the second week of February. The theme of the quilt: Love Quilt Full of Hearts.

Christian Doctrine has been added to our website.

January 6, 2025 Meeting Notes

Attendees: Jan, Pauline, Sandra, Xavier, Pat, Brenda

Pastor Jacquie Jackson opened the meeting. She gave a brief on what Unfinished is about.

She welcomed everyone and wished them a Happy New Year. She thanked the members for being diligent in their studies. She also welcomed one new member - Sandra Lewis. They are longtime friends from when Pastor Jackson lived in Seattle. Great relationship and they have prayed together and cried together from Pastor Jackson’s salon chair.

What is the understanding of the mandate (Genesis 1:26-31)? 

If God said it, it is so. God created man and woman. Man is made in the image of God. God is a spirit. We use gender (He) because that is how we have been taught. God gave us the power to rule over everything. God already gave us everything. In Genesis 1:27 it states that God created man and woman at the same time.

Genesis 3:16 

Was not a curse on women, it was a punishment. The ground was cursed. God did not place a curse on man or woman. For the mandate to be complete, man and woman must become one flesh.

Theologians put women at the bottom. 

Procreate is man and woman.

Holy Spirit gives revelation of God.

We seek to ask questions to understand and learn. No validation is needed. Be careful how you read. The mandate tells us how to live. The Blood of Jesus allows us to be born again. Jesus said circumcise the heart. Let us embrace the mandate.

Jochebed married her nephew. Their belief and custom was keeping the bloodline pure. She was the mother of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

Shiphrah and Puah were midwives who feared God and had a relationship with God. They were not only responsible for helping Moses but also many babies.

Miriam was jealous of her brother Moses. She despised his wife Zipporah. She was kicked out because of leprosy. We don’t hear much more about her and learn she died of a broken heart.

Zipporah was Moses’s wife. She was of a different religion and did not believe in circumcision. She saved Moses’s life. 

Pharaoh’s daughter, Bithiah was Moses’s adopted mother that raised him. She had the power to protect Moses. She was enslaved.

Initially, they were not interested in letting the women know God or building a personal relationship.

Shelomite was an Israelite mother and married to an Egyptian whose son was stoned to death because of ( the "Name") blasphemy. We read Leviticus 24:1-10 to establish how the customs were different. They were man-made customs/traditions. Leviticus 24:10-13 introduced Shelomite. They took her son to Moses for advice. There was a big discussion on how a mother could watch or have her child stoned to death. Discussion on Leviticus law that does not have the same meaning as Exodus 20. Levites made up their law (man-made law). Pauline and Diane will report next week on the Tribe of Dan and what was the law.

Pastor Jackson reminded us to look for love in everything because love is from God. Lust has no love and is not from God.

The study ended with a prayer by Pauline. Pauline also invited all to join the Prayer Line on Tuesday from 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Pacific Time. Noon (Pacific) and 2:00 PM (Central) 

Next week our study will begin on Rehab (Joshua 2:1-21; 6:21-25).

January 6, 2025 Meeting

Happy New Year to our sisters in Christ. As we begin 2025 in Unfinished Women Ministry remember in Genesis 1-5 we did a lot of weeping. But as we learned the truth, weeping may remain for a night but rejoicing comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:5).  We learned the difference between love and lust.

We become eager for instructions but we must understand the first prerequisite for instruction is salvation and faith. There is Salvation in Jesus Christ ONLY and new life with meaning. 

Understand that the greater sin grew, the greater the punishment became true (Genesis 3:16). The woman begins to desire man more than God. Man became her King and he ruled over her. We see the punishment of Eve in Genesis 3:16. The punishment became powerful. Eve was the only one giving God praise for all the good things in her life, like children. Next we studied Cain’s wife who showed no relationship with God. She desired her husband and he ruled over her. From Eve we see the woman being submissive and desiring her husband before God. The punishment (not a curse) that God gave the woman increased over the years. How do you think women would look at the situation now?

We will talk about the women in Moses life briefly.

1. Jochebed – mother of Moses, Aaron, Miriam. 
2. Shiphrah and Puah – Midwives’ “fear of God” put God first. 
3. Marian - sister  - Exodus 15:20,21 the women follow her:  
4. Zipporah – wife, Midianite – Cushite - jealousy - Nu. 12:1-15;  
5. Pharaoh’s daughter – adopted Mother Bithiah (woman that raised Moses). 1 Chronicles 4:18
6. Did Moses marry a second time? 

Our study for January 6, 2025 will be on Shelomith (Leviticus 24:1-10) and Rahab – Josh.2.1-21; 6.21-25.

We are excited to come together again!

God Bless you all - see on Monday on Zoom.

Women Bible Study Group Pastor Jackie would like each of us to Fast from 6:30 PM Sunday to 6:30 PM on Monday. The fast is for clarity and strength in understanding God’s Word. You don’t have to fast on food, but give up something - t.v., food, or deny something you like doing, etc. Denying something to hear from God. (If you need more information on fasting, please contact Pastor Jackson). We are fasting for focus on God’s Word about the women we have studied so far. 

Last week you were asked to report on the women of the Bible we have studied. We will be comparing them to Eve (Mother of All Living, Genesis 3:20) and Sarah (Mother of all Nations, Genesis 17:16). Keep in mind we are looking for the 5 w’s and h. (Who, What, When, Why and How). Each person will receive 10 minutes to report on. Please pray for each other as we enter into the fast.

Our second season will resume on Monday, September 30, 2024.  Unfinished Women Ministry is an online (Zoom) Christian inductive bible study. We will be studying from the book,

We will revisit Genesis 1-4, reminding us of the mandate that God gave us. God gives us the mandate in Chapter 1. We stand on the mandate.  We see in Genesis 3 that Eve and Adam were deceived by satan. It was not a sin until both Eve and Adam took a bite of the fruit. When Eve ate the fruit nothing happened. It was once Adam ate of the fruit that it became a sin. Half and half makes a whole. (See The Mandate)

John 8:7, 10-11 

In this chapter we learn how Jesus asked a crowd to cast a stone against an adulator. Mind you, the only person before the crowd was one woman (John 8:7). She was caught in an adulterous act, which takes a man and woman. Where was the partner in this crime?  When all could not cast a stone, the woman stood alone in front of Jesus. Jesus said, " Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"  "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." (John 8:10-11).

Women can stop taking the blame for the sins of man. Sin did not become sin until both partners participated. Genesis 3:6-7.

The woman of the Bible that we will begin with this session is with Tamar #1,  Genesis 38:6-30. In our book, All the Women of the Bible, page 162.
