Mary Bible Study
Who was the mother of Jesus?
For centuries, Mary, the mother of Jesus, has been a hot topic of debate and division in the Christian church. However, the Bible shares exactly what you need to know about her: She was a fellow servant of God along with other believers, saved by God’ s grace through Jesus.
Join Lou Ann Mokwa, author of Esther: Providential Persian Queen, as she examines Mary’ s life and her relationship to our Savior from what the Bible tells us in this eight-session Bible study.
Follow Mary through her struggles as a mother, explore the importance of Jesus’ identity as both God and man, and learn what imitating Mary’ s humility and obedience ultimately mean: Looking to Christ alone.
Designed for personal devotions, online, or small-group study, this Bible study book written specifically for women includes:
• An opening prayer for each of the seven sessions
• References to other parts of Scripture
• Multiple discussion questions for conversation with other Christian women
• A leader’ s guide (including information about how to teach the study)
• An Answer Key for the discussion questions to help guide the conversation
Lou Ann Mokwa was raised in a godly Lutheran home. In 1984, she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from Marquette University. Shortly after her retirement from a 34-year career as a Registered Nurse and later a Nurse Practitioner, an opportunity to lead women’ s Bible study presented itself. An avid reader, particularly of history, the Bible has been lifelong fertile ground to fuel her passion to study, and she has participated in numerous women’ s Bible studies. Teaching was a natural transition as she now gathers regularly with her fellow sisters in Christ and leads women’ s Bible studies at church in Waupaca, WI. She has also written for "Holy Hen House" magazine and blog, created the Advent by Candlelight service “ Thee I Will Serve,” and contributed to the 2022 Advent Devotion series from WELS Women’ s Ministry. Mokwa lives in Waupaca with her husband Jim and dog Sophie.
