Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus - Introduction

Women of Grace:

As we explore the book, "Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus", there are goals we identified as a group that we want to accomplish:

• Understanding what the Jewish Culture was like in the 1st Century when Jesus taught
• Deepening our knowledge of the bible through the Hebrew language and customs
• Discovering the "real" role women played during this time and their contribution to Christianity
• Getting a rare look at what it was like to be a disciple of Jesus
• Expanding our focus from "me" to "we" using love as the foundation for our actions
• Growing in our spiritual relationship with Christ through this study

 Sets the Tone for Chapter 1:

This week we plan to complete Chapter 1: Joining Mary at the Feet of Jesus. During your study, take the following approach for a fuller learning experience:

• Ask God to give you revelation as you read and study this book
• Highlight in the book or make notes about topics that make an impression on you
• Cross reference in your bible the scriptures outlined in the chapter as you move through the book 
• Use ancillary aids such as an amplified bible or commentary to give more context and information
• Meditate on any scripture references of interest and capture any observations
• Journal after each session for what you uncovered, noting any special thoughts or feelings

Come next week prepared to share your experience. For those who would like to share their journals on this blog, send an email to cbcwomensgroup@gmail.com, with your name, contact number, blog title, and the complete text of the article you want posted.

It is our prayer that this group exponentially benefits from this exciting study, and the Lord uses each of us as a vehicle to continually spread the Good News far beyond what any of us can think, ask, or imagine.

Have a Blessed Week!
