God of Covenant: A Study of Genesis 12-50

By: Jen Wilkin

There are no minor characters in the story of God.

Beginning with Genesis 12, walk alongside the fathers of our faith—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph—to discern Jesus in the stories of His people.

Over 10 sessions, discover how God orchestrates everything for His glory and the good of His people, and see how the God of creation and covenant is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

You are invited to join with the ladies of the church in their next Bible study, which is the follow-up to the study from last fall, God of Creation. Participants should be committed to complete the work in between sessions and open to sharing their thoughts with the group. The study will be on Wednesdays at 10 A.M. in the Social Hall, beginning September 13th. If you are interested in participating, please contact Jennifer Pittman, who is organizing the purchase of study guides.

Jesus and Women: In the First Century and Now

By: Kristi McLelland

Take heart, daughter.
Matthew 9:22

This encouragement from the lips of Jesus surely comforted a hurting woman's soul thousands of years ago. And it offers a similar gospel hope to you today too. Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth - listening to Him teach in the temple and gently guide His disciples through the ebb and flow of everyday life.

Join biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland as she takes you back to Jesus' first-century world, explaining the historical and cultural climate of His day to help you know Him more dearly. Jesus and Women: In the First Century and Now is a thoughtful look at several of Jesus' interactions with women in the Bible that will fuel your worship of the Living God. This seven-week study will help you:

The Daniel Prayer: Prayer That Moves Heaven and Changes Nations

By: Anne Graham Lotz

Do you ever feel your prayers are anemic? Hollow? Then this six-session video-based Bible study is for you! Bestselling author Anne Graham Lotz looks at the life of Daniel and unpacks the prayer he prayed in Daniel 9. Unlike the everyday now-I-lay-me-down-to-sleep kind of prayer, this was a prayer birthed under heartache...grief...desperation. It was a plea for Heaven to move and change his nation.

For an entire generation, Daniel's people has been held in captivity and separated from their homeland - and thus separated from God. But when Daniel read a prophecy in which God said He would restore His people to Jerusalem after seventy years, he claimed that promise and cried out to the Lord to bring it to pass. Daniel's example of praying God's Word back to Him is what Anne calls "reversed thunder."

In this study, Anne explains how we, too, can reverse the thunder until Heaven is moved and our own worlds change. Following the pattern of Daniel's original prayer, she helps us develop a more meaningful and powerful prayer life. As we learn how to storm the gates of Heaven and refuse to let go, we will see real change in the lives of not only those we are praying for, but also our own. Our prayers will become more effective as our faith is deepened and our personal relationship with God is strengthened.
