    “Encountering God” Women’s Bible Study 
    Begins Wednesday, Jan. 12 | 6 p.m. EH Room 2235
    Spiritual disciplines are essential to a more vibrant spiritual life and knowing God more intimately. Join facilitator Kara Hayter in this seven-session Bible study by Kelly Minter as she unpacks the biblical foundation for these sacred habits along with approachable ways to practice disciplines like prayer, study, worship, rest, simplicity, generosity, celebration, and many more. Instead of being just one more thing on your to-do list, you’ll find that these habits of faith can create more margin in your life—providing peace and rest as you walk closer with Jesus. Please register online and purchase the study guide before the first meeting.
    “He’s Where the Joy Is” Women’s Bible Study
    Begins Monday, Jan. 10 | 9:30 a.m. AE Room 3103
    It’s hard to know a God we don’t understand, and it’s hard to love a God we don’t know. But our God wants to be known and loved, and He’s told us a lot about Himself in the pages of His Word. Join facilitator Susann Smith in this seven-session study by Tara-Leigh Cobble as she breaks down the intimidating doctrine of the Trinity. Participants will discover a beautiful, foundational view of our Triune God that will transform how each person relates to Him. Understanding God’s three-in-oneness and each of the Persons of God individually—Father, Son, and Spirit—will lead you to deeper intimacy with God and greater joy in knowing Him! Register online and purchase the study guide before the first meeting.
    “Epic of Eden: Isaiah” Women’s Bible Study 
    Begins Tuesday, Jan. 11 | 9:30 a.m. Zoom Only Class
    Often named the fifth gospel, the book of the prophet Isaiah has more to say about Israel’s coming Messiah than any other Old Testament book. Brilliant, courageous, uncompromising, this prophet declared that the year of the Lord had come and God’s people needed to either step up, or stand down. Indeed, when Isaiah spoke, kings trembled. But too often, when Isaiah speaks today, God’s people have trouble hearing. Why? We often miss the larger context. In “The Epic of Eden: Isaiah,” Dr. Sandra Richter takes participants back to the eighth century BCE. This study explains Israel’s religion and economy, explores the definition and role of the prophets, and helps us to apply the message of this great champion of the faith to our lives today. Join facilitator Michelle Urrutia for this 10-week journey online (through Zoom only). Register online and purchase the study guide before the first meeting. 
    “The Faithful” Women’s Bible Study
    Begins Thursday, Jan. 13 | 9:30 a.m.
    Borrowing from best-selling lessons by Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Lisa Harper, Kelly Minter, and Jennifer Rothschild, this study will explore crucial moments in the lives of five Old Testament figures—Queen Esther, Gideon, Hosea, Malachi, and Nehemiah.

    Strengthen your faith as you walk alongside these larger-than-life figures, who all chose to obey God no matter the circumstances.

    Join facilitator Val Reed for this five-week journey on Thursday mornings. Participants will need to purchase the study guide before the first meeting.
    “Common Ground” Women’s Bible Study 
    Begins Thursday, Jan. 20 | 9:30 a.m. EH Room 2235
    Whether it is in politics, the professional world, a party, or a pew, we face conflict every day. As discussions get more heated and social media is deluged with opinion-spewing, hurt feelings, and broken relationships, we need hope and practical tools to navigate the tumultuous waters and live at peace with everyone. Fortunately, the Scriptures hold the key to living at peace despite our differences. In “Common Ground,” a four-week Bible study, Amberly Neese combines stories of sibling rivalries from the Bible with personal experience, humor, hope, and her love of God’s Word. Join Rev. Joy Roberson as the group journeys through this study on Thursday mornings. Please register online and purchase the study guide before the first meeting.
    “Breakthrough” Women’s Bible Study 
    Begins Feb. 17 | 9:30 a.m. AE Room 3204
    Have you ever felt that being a good Christian means you’ve got to follow a bunch of rules and measure up? If so, you aren’t alone! In this Bible study of Galatians, Barb Roose shows us that even the believers in the early church struggled to let go of rule[1]keeping and performance in order to embrace God’s free gift of grace. Paul asks the Galatian believers the same questions we struggle with today: • Who told you that you had to be perfect for God? • Why do you think that you have to follow rules to gain God’s favor? • Do you want to live free in Christ? If you’ve ever struggled with these questions or felt trapped by rules or religion, this study will be a path to discover freedom in Christ. Join facilitator Val Reed for this six-week journey. Please register online and purchase the study guide before the first meeting.
    “The Names of God” Women’s Bible Study 
    Begins Feb. 24 | 9:30 a.m. EH Room 2235
    Today’s culture and others’ views, even those of other Christians, can present a distorted view of God. Some suggest God exudes qualities He does not possess such as being unloving or apathetic toward His creation. In a world where we find people creating God in their own image, studying God’s names can remind us that we are created in His. In fact, one of the best ways to know God’s true character and grow closer to Him is to study His names. In “The Names of God,” Melissa Spoelstra leads women on an exploration of the many names of our triune God— from El and Elohim to Yahweh and its many combinations to names such as Abba, Jesus, and Holy Spirit...and many others. Join Rev. Joy Roberson as the group journeys through this study on Thursday mornings. Please register online and purchase the study guide before the first meeting.
    “Now That Faith Has Come” Women’s Bible Study
    Begins March 2 | 6 p.m. EH Room 2235
    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 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 Kara Hayter for this six-week class on Wednesday evenings. Please register online and purchase the study guide before the first meeting. 
    Elijah Women’s Bible Study 
    Begins March 21 | 9:30 a.m. AE Room 3103
    Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel. Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory—months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable. Join Susann Smith on this seven-session journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life. Register online and purchase the study guide before the first meeting.
