The Cursed Fig Tree

Joanne Holstein has just placed her New Testament children’s lesson online.  It is entitled “Jesus Curses the Fig Tree With No Fruit“:

This miracle occurred four days before the crucifixion of Jesus.  When Jesus came across a fig tree that had leaves and no fruit He withered the tree. This miracle was  used by Jesus to teach us about being fruitful for the LORD and  prayer and faith to know the prayer will be answered. (Matthew 21:18-22; Mark 11:12-25)

Herod the Great’s Great Granddaughter Bernice

Joanne has placed her newest New Testament study online that is entitled “Bernice great granddaughter to Herod the Great

The behavior and conduct of Bernice was scandalous so deviant the citizens of Rome could not accept. Bernice was wealthy and probably beautiful and suffered from the wantonness of power. Bernice is not a good example of how women should conduct themselves; yet we can still learn what is expected of Women of Christ by her behavior and conduct. (Acts 25:13-14, 23; Acts 26:30-32)

The Wife of Esau

Joanne Holstein has just added her new women’s lesson online; it is entitled “Basemath, Wife of Esau“  Understanding Esau gives us an insight to his wife Basemath. Basemath and her marriage to Esau gave us a precaution about being unequally yoked between believers and nonbelievers. Esau, like Jacob, was warned not to take a wife from a daughter of Canaan because there are no covenants with the Canaanites or unbelievers. (Genesis 26:6-9,34-36; 28: 6-9; 36:2-4, 10-13; Genesis 36:1-4, 10-13)

The Philippians Slave Girl

Joanne Holstein’s newest women’s study, What does it take to change? We have focused a good deal with the question of if the Philippians slave girl had changed once Paul commanded the spirit of divination from her. What does it take to change is the question I am asking. It is not a miraculous “poof” and the change happens and a life is on a better track. There has to be a desire and a dedication for change to occur. (Philippians 3:20-21)
