    "She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four" (Luke 2:36–37). Anna had been married only seven years when she became a widow, and she remained a widow for the rest of her life.

    tom lowe 1/8/2022 Anna, the Prophetess Who was Anna the prophetess in the Bible? I am ashamed that I could not answer that question until I researched this article.

    Anna, The Prophetess [part 2] Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 8, 2022
     | 2,599 views

    As a prophetess, Anna receives insight into things that typically remain hidden to ordinary people; she recognizes this child and tells of his significance to selected people in Jerusalem.

    Regarding Anna, Luke provides three terse verses that manage to vividly depict her as a woman deserving the honor bestowed on the elderly in the ancient Mediterranean world (v. 36-38). She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more

    Christmas 2C. We learn from Jesus as a boy in the temple, that when God cannot be found, it is we who are looking in the wrong places.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Lost and Found” “My, how you have grown!” Those words, or something similar were uttered in households across America last week as families ...read more

    Even as a child, Jesus was fully human, but understand how special His relationship was with God. Today, we have the same opportunities to know God as well, if only we will devote ourselves to His business.

    Introduction - When we were last in the Gospel of Luke, it was a very familiar story • We discussed Advent (the waiting & revealing of the Messiah) • We also rejoiced at the birth of Jesus – God incarnate (Immanuel) - Today we’ll begin a study of Luke; this should take ~ 3 months (to ...read more

    Anna shared about Jesus, bringing hope to the hopeful.

    THE THANKSGIVING AND TESTIMONY OF ANNA. Luke 2:36-40. Anna was a prophetess of great age, who departed not from the temple, and served God with fasting and prayers both night and day. It is interesting that Luke calls her a "prophetess," since we have long been taught that there was no ...read more

    We don’t know very much about Jesus’ process of maturation. The Gospels are rather silent about his growing up years, with Matthew being the only other canonical gospel that even offers a birth narrative, and he is silent on the years between birth and baptism.

    TITLE: THE FAMILY BUSINESS SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 2:49 It was just two months ago we gathered here in the sanctuary as we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior. We had special programs like Candlelight Service, attended Christmas Sing Along over at Macedonia Baptist Church, and of course ...read more

    One of the wonders of the Christmas story is that the Triune God gave the honor of being the mother to the Savior of the world to an unmarried teenage girl.

    The belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the "Mother of God," "Queen of Heaven," a perpetual virgin, and has an exalted place in Heaven, which provides her the closest access to Jesus and God the Father, is not taught anywhere in the Bible, which is the final and absolute ...read more
