The cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 11 surrounds us as we run — and twelve of those witnesses have been walking with us through this study. Before you move on, take time to look back at what God has done in you.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Which of the twelve women's stories had the greatest impact on you personally — and why? Was it what she went through, what she believed, or how she responded to God that moved you most?
2.MacArthur's central thesis is that what made these women extraordinary was not their natural qualities but the power of God working through them. After spending fourteen weeks with these stories, do you believe that more deeply than you did at the beginning? What convinced you — or what still gives you pause?
3.MacArthur traces a "chronology of God's redemptive work" through these twelve lives. Looking back from Eve to Lydia, what is the shape of that story? How does each woman fit into the unfolding narrative that culminates in Christ?
a.Which woman felt most clearly like a turning point in that redemptive story?
b.How has reading these women's lives as part of one big story changed the way you read the Bible more broadly?
