Video Highlights

Bible Application
Read Proverbs 31:10-31. The woman described in this passage is a composite portrait of ideal womanhood, not a model for us to imitate in every way. After all, we don't need to have any more pressure on us to be "Super Women"! In addition, notice how this woman's physical appearance is never mentioned. Instead, her attractiveness comes from her character. What a contrast to our society, which believes physical appearance is all-important.
1. What qualities does this woman possess?
2. How do we become more like the woman described in this passage rather than what the world around us (particularly the media) is trying to tell us we should be?
3. What character qualities do you already possess that are described in this passage?
4. What one character quality would you like to strengthen as we work through this course?
Women of Faith
We are women, women of faith, United in God's love, sisters in grace. Looking to Jesus to lead us each day, We are women, women of faith.
We are bound in love for one another, We share faith in God and we're committed to each other. We are sisters in Christ Jesus desiring to serve, Leaning on God's promises, standing on His Word.
We will glorify the King of Kings. We will glorify the Lamb. We will glorify the Lord of Lords, Who is the great I Am.
We are women, women of faith, United in God's love, sisters in grace. Looking to Jesus to lead us each day, We are women, women of faith. -Jamie Harvill and Steve Arterburn

3. What attributes do these women have that make us look to them as our role models?
4. Look back at the words to the song "Women of Faith" (on page 12). Are there any phrases that are particularly meaningful to you?
