The Story of Elizabeth {Luke 1:5-80}

Elizabeth is found in  Luke 1:5-80

Our Memory verse is Luke 1:45, " Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!"

Hi Girls! 

We are so excited that you have decided to join us for our study on the women of the New Testament! Our first precious saint is Elizabeth found only in Luke 1:5-80. 

Elizabeth's story is often overlooked as it occurs parallel with Mary’s as she learns she is pregnant with our Lord and Savior, but there’s so much richness found in her story. In addition, there are quite a few life lessons  we can learn from her.

I plan to post a brief overview on the first day of each week to wet our appetites and get our minds thinking about the woman we'll be focusing on that week. 

Each day the writers will be focused on an individual theme: 

• Monday: Her story--a portrait of her life
• Tuesday: Her life and times--background information about the culture of her day
• Wednesday: Her legacy in Scripture--a short Bible study on her life with application to your own
• Thursday: Her promise--the Bible promises that apply to her life and yours
• Friday: Her legacy of prayer--and praying in light of her story

We want to also encourage you to be thinking along these lines as you study each woman throughout the week. Ask yourself:

• What life lessons stand out to me from Elizabeth's life?
• How does the culture of that day have an impact on her circumstances?
• What is Elizabeth's legacy ?
• What's the greatest takeaway from her story?
• How does her story prompt you in the area of prayer?

All for now! 

I hope you are just as excited as we are to begin studying the life of Elizabeth! 

We'll see you in the morning! 

Blessings!
