Women of the BibleExemple

Phoebe Phoebe is mentioned only once in the Bible, but there is a lot to unpack in her account. To give some background, Phoebe played a part in delivering Paul's letter to Rome (Romans). One of the first things Paul pointed out about Phoebe was her faith. He called her sister and instructed that she be received in the Lord in a way worthy of His people. It's not accidental that he mentioned this first. Her salvation marked her, just as our salvation should mark us. Paul also honored Phoebe for her service to the Church. He explained that she was a deacon, recounting how she had served faithfully. Additionally, he mentioned she was a benefactor to many, including Paul himself. To be a benefactor meant that Phoebe was someone who used her resources to provide help to others. This was further proof of her devotion and service to the Church. We can learn so much from Phoebe. Her faith was mentioned first and foremost, and she was honored for her service. Phoebe is a beautiful example to women still today and a beautiful reminder that women play an essential role within the Church and in spreading the Gospel! 1\. Are you best known for your faith or service? Prayer: Lord, give me a love for others and a heart of service. Allow me to boldly share the Gospel with others.
