The Women of Genesis and the Bride of Christ – Seminary Unboxed
In this sermon, we conclude our journey through the Book of Genesis and explore a compelling theme: the women at the well and their profound role in God’s redemptive story. As we transition into the Lenten season with our new sermon series, The Journey to the Cross, we take a moment to reflect on the often-overlooked yet deeply significant women of Genesis—Eve, Sarah, Hagar, Rebecca, Rachel, Leah, and more.Key Themes The “gray characters” of Genesis—women who, like us, have strengths and flaws but are used by God.The recurring biblical theme of women at the well and how it culminates in John 4 with Jesus and the Samaritan woman. The church as the Bride of Christ, called to multiply and share the living water of the Gospel.A call to evangelism: sharing our faith is not about reputation or eloquence—it’s about the power of the Holy Spirit working through us.
