      Mary Magdalene a Woman of Resilience - Mary Rodman

      How to use this Bible study

      Iencourage you to spend time in prayer before and after each lesson. Ask God to open your mind and soul to the message before you start and His help as you apply the lesson to your life afterward.

      Your Bible study can be used one of two ways.

      Individually - Read one lesson each morning or allow more time between the lessons to apply God’s truths to your life.

      Group - One or two lessons each week are recommended. Conversations and discussions with others will always provide more insight on the lessons. You will be amazed how each message speaks differently to others.

      All Bible scripture links will take you to www.biblegateway.com New Living Translation. You can select a different version if you desire.

      Please follow me on Social Media as MrsMaryRodman and leave a post at www.facebook.com/MrsMaryRodman. I love to meet new people and will answer any questions you may have.

      Enjoy your Bible study!

      Mary

For Paul I wonder, what was the thorn in his flesh? Was it a physical ailment, mental struggle, or a spiritual battle? But of all the New Testament servants of Christ, Mary Magdalene is one who seems the most mysterious to me.

      Not mysterious as in secretive. Mysterious because I want to know—where did she find the strength to do all she accomplished for Jesus? We are first introduced to Mary in the Luke 8.

      Read Luke 8:1-3

      We have no other background about Mary Magdalene, except that Jesus performed a great miracle in her life. What else is there to say? Christ dramatically changed her life when He cast the demons from her. Once Mary discovered her Savior, she was totally committed to Him with a servant’s heart. She became one of Jesus’ followers and part of His
