The Study of Lois and Eunice

10:00 AM

 


Our verse for this week is 3 John 1:4,"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in truth."

Hi Girls, 

Lois and her daughter Eunice were early Christian converts. It seems the two lived together with Eunice’s son Timothy. Not much is ever mentioned about Timothy’s father but it is assumed he was not a follower of Jesus. 

Reading from 2 Timothy 1: 5 and 3:14 -15 it appears that Lois passed down her faith to her daughter Eunice who in turn gave it to her son Timothy. The Bible doesn't give us much information about these two women; we're going to have to read between the lines a bit, but I still believe there is much we can learn from them; especially when it comes to the roll of motherhood. 

You can read about Eunice and Lois in:

2 Timothy 1:15

2 Timothy 3:14-15

 Acts 16:1

As always our themes for the week will be:

  • 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
  • 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 Eunice and Lois throughout the week. Ask yourself:


  • What life lessons stand out to me from her life?
  • How does the culture of that day have an impact on her circumstances?
  • What stands out as her legacy ?
  • What's the greatest takeaway/promise 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 this week's study on the life of Eunice and her mother Lois! 

We'll see you in the morning! 

Blessings!
