WOMEN IN DISCIPLESHIP
WOMEN OF FAITHTHE BLESSEDNESS OF BOLDNESS - WEEK TWO
The Daughters of Zelophehad
Two Mothers of Solomon's Time
INTRODUCTION
This week we'll look at two very interesting stories of women in judicial circumstances. We'll witness the boldness of the women who went before a patriarchal (male-ruled) system to plead their case. We will examine the Scripture to find what God determined for them and the precedence that was set.
Remember to ask the Lord to teach you as you begin. When you take the time to examine Scripture, you can be assured the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. (John 14:26)

LESSONS AND APPLICATIONS
1. God listens to His people. Is there something in your life right now that you are asking God about or a complaint you are wrestling with?
2. God's commands are for our good. How eager are you to obey the commands of God? Do you believe they are for your good?
3. Moses knew who to ask for wisdom. When you're asked for advice, who do you turn to before you respond? Have you learned to pray about it first?
