WOW: Women of Wisdom
W.O.W. (Women of Wisdom) is a Bible study for women, sponsored by The Shepherd's Church in Cary, NC. This Bible study, taught by women of The Shepherd's Church & guest speakers from The Shepherd's Seminary, aims to lead women to Biblical Truths to grow in their relationship with God through His Word. Each week has daily lessons for personal study, followed by "iron sharpening iron" in small group discussions and finishes with a lecture that seeks to apply Biblical truths to our daily lives.

WOW Bible Study
Paul Shares Jesus. Will You?
March 4th, 2026
- Teachable Thessalonians (Acts 17:1-9)
(Philippians 4:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 2:18)
- We need to reason, explain and show evidence of the gospel when sharing our faith.
- Be a red carpet and not a roadblock in someone’s faith journey.
When you share your faith, do you tend to reason patiently or rush the conversation?
- Bible Believing Bereans (Acts 17:10-15)
(1 Thessalonians 5:19-22)
- Be like the Bereans and examine the scriptures for yourself.
- Test what you are taught.
What practical step could you take to study Scripture more intentionally?
- Always Anticipating and Awaiting a new God Athenians (Acts 17:16-34)
(Psalm 139:7; Romans 2:4; Romans 1:18-25)
- Our citizenship this side of Heaven doesn’t matter in eternity.
- God is always near and in control…even in the chaos.
- We should remove idols from our hearts, not just our cities.
Who in your life thinks very differently from you? How can you relate to them without compromising truth?
- Conflicted Corinthians to Anchor of Antioch (Acts 18:1-23)
(2 Corinthians 11:9; Matthew 28:19-20; Numbers 6; 1 Corinthians 9:19-23; Galatians 6:9)
- We are responsible to share the gospel, but not responsible for the response.
- Faith requires our obedience despite our circumstances.
- We need to hold our life with an open palm rather than a clinched fist saying, “If the Lord wills….”
Reflection Questions:
Am I willing to learn about other cultures for the gospel?
Am I willing to adapt my approach for the gospel?
Am I willing to trust God with the results?
