One of my favorites is Millicent Sedra .
So, I did a quick google search on the subject and found the following,
in addition to what I've read in scriptures.
Below is A quick answer from Google......
Key Examples of Women Preaching in the Bible
- Deborah: A prophetess and judge of Israel, Deborah led the nation and provided guidance during a time of crisis (Judges 4:4-5). Her leadership and prophetic role highlight the authority women held in biblical times.
- Priscilla: Along with her husband Aquila, Priscilla played a crucial role in teaching Apollos, an eloquent speaker, about the way of God more accurately (Acts 18:26). This indicates her active participation in teaching and preaching.
- Phoebe: Mentioned in Romans 16:1, Phoebe is referred to as a deacon of the church in Cenchreae, showcasing her leadership role within the early church. Her position as a deacon suggests she was involved in ministry and service.
- Anna: A prophetess who recognized Jesus as the Messiah when he was presented at the temple (Luke 2:36-38). Anna's proclamation about Jesus demonstrates her role in sharing God's message.
- The Samaritan Woman: After her encounter with Jesus at the well, she went back to her town and told others about Him, effectively becoming one of the first evangelists (John 4:29). Her testimony led many to believe in Jesus.
Biblical Support for Women in Ministry
- Acts 2:17-18: This passage quotes the prophet Joel, stating that in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all people, and both sons and daughters will prophesy. This indicates that women are included in God's call to ministry and preaching.
- Galatians 3:28: This verse emphasizes equality in Christ, stating that there is neither male nor female, for all are one in Christ Jesus. This has been interpreted to support the idea that women can serve in all roles within the church.
