There is so much to see and learn from the action-packed book of Acts, so I'm only sharing snippets of thoughts and insights that stand out to me—things like being filled with the Spirit, courage, prayer, authority, persecution, leadership, and of course more salvation verses.
Courage
Jochebed: A Mother Saves the Deliverer
Courageous women come fast and furious in the first chapters of Exodus. When his attempt to reduce the Hebrew population fails, the king gives all Egyptians authority to throw them into the Nile river. Then, a brave mother—Jochebed—saves her son despite the edict.
Shiphrah and Puah: Two Hebrew Midwives Defy Evil
I love exploring the stories of women (especially obscure ones) in the Bible. Discovering what they did has empowered and helped me discover what I can do as a daughter of God. Take Shiphrah and Puah for instance. We find their brave example in chapter one of the biblical book of Exodus.
