10. Significance : Honors mothers and

for some, mothers weren’t all that nice;
for some, motherhood under the very best of
circumstances is still less than a bed of roses and a
primrose path.

demand for the

caring

12. Proverbs 31:1-31
Sayings of King Lemuel an inspired utterance his
mother taught him

13. In scripture, the Church is often
called “The Bride of Christ.”

14. The same qualities God considers
noble in a wife are the qualities He
would want to see in His beloved
Church.

15. 1. God wants Husbands and Wives to
enjoy a relationship infused with: trust,
sharing of everything, transparent honesty,
and the giving and receiving of good will
throughout all their days.

16. We harm the reputation of Jesus
Christ every time we gossip and
complain.

24. A Beautiful Woman
(Bride)
In Christ

25. Sometimes we as Christian women
misunderstand God's concept of us,
becoming beautiful in Christ.

26. There is nothing wrong with working on
our outward beauty in itself.

27. We are children of the King so why
not look the part?

28. We should always do our best and
look our best but many times we
forget about the inside and the
way we project ourselves.

29. Sometimes we just concentrate only
on one feature or area of our Christian
life but not the whole and our beauty
in Christ becomes skewed / distorted.

30. Being beautiful in Christ involves
more than just the outside or just
one part of us.

31. "...a woman that feareth the LORD, she
shall be praised.”
That is the beauty that transcends time
and doesn't fade away.

32. One thing about beauty that we all
know as women is that it is a daily
thing.

33. Now, I might be able to do it, but I
have no desire to shame you into
spending more time with Christ. Shame
is never a good motivator … not in the
long run. When you read the Gospels,
you find Jesus did not spend much
time criticizing and shaming the
crowds that came to hear Him.
Do not spend our time shaming and
criticizing each other.
Conclusion

34. And as we hear the Words of Jesus and
get to know Him, we can’t help but be
drawn to Him! When you see the beauty
of Jesus for yourself, you will naturally want
to be in His presence. You will look forward
with great enjoyment to every minute you
can spend in communion with Him. He is
the One who loved you long before you
ever noticed him He is the One who paid
the price for your sins long before you
knew you needed to be saved.

35. Today we’ve seen the picture of the
Noble Wife who is the pride and joy of
her husband. Like her we can be
pleasing to our heavenly Bridegroom as
we live a life of Integrity, Industry,
Inclusiveness, Godly Influence … and as
we find our full Identity in Jesus Christ.
