She will separate what’s true about Heaven from what’s based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses.

Wednesday Mornings

Esther: Daring Faith for Such a Time as This, by Kelly Minter | W

Led by Sandy Speakman and Beth Redden

January 15 – February 26 | Room 137 | 9:45 a.m.

Join us for a 7-session study of the daring faith Esther had for such a time as this! The book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama - a beautiful young woman who becomes queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary. Plus, this story unfolds in a time when the people of God are split between nations and feel uncertain about the future. This study teaches life lessons and Biblical pearls of wisdom such as:

- God’s seeming absence does not mean that He has abandoned His people.

- God is always working, even when we can’t see it.

- We are all sinful and God can use sinful people as well as people who are faithful but still not perfect.

- Obedience even in the small things teaches how to be obedient in the big things.

Women of the Word, How to Study the Bible with Both
Our Hearts and Our Minds, by Jen Wilkin | W

Led by Stacy Chase

The Retreat | January 8 – February 26 | 6:30-7:30 p.m.

In this updated edition with new study questions, popular Bible teacher Jen Wilkin challenges women to go deeper in their study of Scripture, offering a clear and concise plan they can use each time they open their Bible. Many Christian women know it’s important to study God’s Word—but often don’t know where to start. If they’re not careful, they can let their emotions rule their study of Scripture and forget that the Bible is primarily about God and not us. This book will equip women to engage God’s Word in a way that both trains their minds and transforms their hearts.
