Joy Roberson WC Women: For His Glory Bible Study
Beginning March 22 at 9:30 a.m. in Rawlins Hall/Zoom Discover Your True Worth in Christ. What comes to mind when you hear the word masterpiece? Perhaps you think of a beautiful painting, a spectacular home renovation, or a captivating sunset. But few of us would describe ourselves with that word. We tend to listen instead to the lies that define us as rejected, unwanted, less than, ugly, stupid, or a failure. Sometimes, we can feel more like worthless junk than a valuable masterpiece. Yet, that is exactly what God’s Word says that we are! In “For His Glory,” Marian Jordan Ellis leads us in an in-depth study of Ephesians to help us dismantle the lies we’ve believed about ourselves and replace them with a new identity built on God’s Word. The truths in this beloved epistle speak to the core beliefs we carry about ourselves, revealing to us our part in God’s magnificent design to redeem a people for Himself, who reflect His glory to the world. Drawing on her own journey of transformation and her passion to equip women to overcome shame, insecurity, inferiority, and condemnation, Marian invites us on a journey to discover our true worth in Christ, our status as beloved children of God, and our glorious calling as His masterpiece. Join facilitator Susann Smith on Monday mornings beginning March 22. This is a hybrid class, offered in person and online through Zoom. Please purchase the study guide on your own. Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi by Amy-Jill Levine
Beginning March 25 at 9:30 a.m. in Room 2235 Jesus was a skilled storyteller and perceptive teacher who used parables from everyday life to effectively convey His message and meaning. Life in first-century Palestine was very different from our world today. In this Bible study based on “Short Stories by Jesus,” Amy-Jill Levine analyzes these ‘problems with parables’ by taking readers back in time to understand how their original Jewish audience understood them. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for the contemporary reader, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus but are also about us—and when read rightly, they still challenge and provoke us two thousand years later. Join Rev. Joy Roberson on Thursday mornings beginning March 25. This will be a hybrid class, offered in person and online through Zoom. Please purchase the study guide on your own. Now That Faith Has Come: A Study of Galatians by Beth & Melissa Moore
Beginning March 25 at 9:30 a.m. in Room 3204 The apostle Paul didn’t plan to go to Galatia. God used a physical ailment to direct him there, carrying the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The relationship Paul would build with the Galatian converts?and his determination for the truth of the gospel to be preserved among them?led to one of the most passionate letters in the New Testament. Join Beth and Melissa Moore for a six-week deep dive into Paul’s captivating letter to the Galatians. Come to know the letter’s original recipients. Study its original context and embrace its timeless relevance. Discover?or perhaps rediscover?what makes the gospel of Jesus Christ revolutionary to those who choose to believe. Find out how everything has changed, now that faith has come. Join facilitator Val Reed for this six-week journey in person at White’s Chapel. Purchase the study guide only online. Church of the Small Things Women’s Study
Beginning April 7 at 6 p.m. in Room 2235 and Zoom Online It doesn’t matter how old we are or what kind of work we do, we’ve all wondered at times, “Does my life really matter?” Do the everyday events and messy moments make any kind of difference? Is it okay to be fulfilled by the simple acts of raising kids, working in an office, and cooking chicken for dinner? This six-session video Bible study, with bestselling author and popular blogger Melanie Shankle, speaks directly to the heart of women of all ages who are longing to find significance and meaning in the normal, everyday world of attending class on a college campus, driving carpool to soccer practice, cooking a meal for their family, taking care of a sick loved one, or a million other things. Melanie offers women the opportunity to embrace what it means to live an abundant and incredibly meaningful life finding beauty and laughter in all the small things right beneath the surface of every moment. Join facilitator Kara Hayter as we journey through this study on Wednesday evenings. This is a hybrid class, offered in person and online through Zoom. Please purchase the study guide on your own.
