Women’s Bible Study // Psalm 23, The Shepherd with Me

Education Center, Room 252

Every woman longs for someone to protect and care for her- someone to guide her when she’s not sure of her next steps, to provide rest when she’s worn out, to walk with her when the valley is dark. God is the Good Shepherd whose companionship provides the comfort and confidence every woman needs. No matter what season a woman finds herself in, she is safe with her Shepherd. Join Jennifer Rothschild in this study of Psalm 23 to: ·Explore the depths of God’s care tucked in the psalm you’ve always loved. Trade in the myth of self-reliance for the truth that God will take care of you, no matter what. ·Know that your vulnerability is not a liability – God made you to need Him. ·Release fear and trust the Shepherd’s goodness in every season of life.

Event Series Amos – Women’s Bible Study

Amos – Women’s Bible Study

Amos - Tuesday Evening Women's Bible Study Amos is often called a prophet of doom! Through his pronouncements of judgment, we can see what happens when we don’t live the God life. Yet, within each bleak condemnation, is a tacit invitation to seek God so we can live the good life. Amos is promoting the God life, and the God life is the good life! Through this study, you’ll be invited to live assured, faithful, chosen, humble, justly, prayerful, and hopeful. Ultimately, you’ll be invited to “seek God and live” (Amos 5:4). When you join me for this eight-session video-based Bible study on Tuesday, January 17 at 6:30 in the Education Center room 252, you’ll learn to: Uncover the connection between the God life and the good life. Learn how God’s care for us prompts us to care for others. Break hope-stealing habits to reverse self-defeating choices. Unearth the gems hidden within one of the most overlooked books in the Bible. So, my friend, you don’t have to be intimidated by the book of Amos. We’ll study it together!
