Think of a person mentioned in the Bible. Got one? Okay, who did you think of?  Maybe you thought of a disciple like Matthew, James, or Philip. Maybe you thought of an Old Testament hero such as Moses, Abraham, or Noah. Or perhaps you thought about Jesus.  Did you think about a woman? If not, think of one now. Ester. The woman at the well. Mary.  Men might be called to lead the church, but we can learn so much from the women in the Bible. Let's take a closer look at some of their stories.  "On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,  and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.  She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.  When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her,  “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”  Then he put his hands on her,  and immediately she straightened up and praised God."  Luke 13:10-13 We don't know much about this woman. The Bible doesn't even include her
