Summer Bible Study

Hey there, girlfriends! Our spring Bible study on the Frazzled Female was such a success! Our evening group finished up with a prayer journal last week and the morning group will be finishing up in two weeks. I'm so excited that several ladies want participate in a summer study! I would love your help in selecting the book we use. Here's a brief synopsis of the choices you have:

VICTORIOUSLY FRAZZLED, by Cindi Wood - This continuation of The Frazzled Female will help any worn out, burned out, and stressed out woman understand the Spirit God has given her. The goal is to lead women into the presence of God—right in the midst of their “frazzledness.” By doing so, women will gradually pull back from confusion and doubt, from fear and self, and allow God’s Spirit to have His way in their lives.


CONVERSATION PEACE, by Mary Kassian - Here's a women's study that really hits home. Mary Kassian masterfully presents the biblical principles to help women revolutionize their speech habits and improve their relationships by focusing on ways to positively avoid sharing gossip, throwing negative barbs, or snapping sarcastic replies throughout everyday life.





IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE - Women Relating to God as Father, by Mary Kassian - This study explores how a woman's image of God the Father is often based on her experiences (or lack of experiences) with her earthly father. Examines these attitudes/experiences with her earthly father in light of what the Word says about the fatherhood of God.


LIVING YOUR LIFE AS A BEAUTIFUL OFFERING, by Angela Thomas - How can an imperfect life with blemishes and scars reflect back to God a true gratefulness for His love? Jesus knows you are not perfect, but He also knows that you are made perfect in Him, if only you will come and surrender to Him daily. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us His compassionate instruction for everyday living and then wraps His teaching with the promise of His blessing. “Jesus wants us to learn to live in a way that reflects the kingdom of God to the world, to live as a woman with a kingdom heart.”

Please vote on this blog (top, right-hand corner) for the study you want to participate in this summer. We'll begin approximately June 18th and continue for 6-8 weeks, depending on the study we choose. Can't wait to see you each there!
