Stepping Up:
A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent
By Beth Moore
Led by Mary Deuell

Book Cost: $13

This detailed study of Psalms 120–134 engages participants in unique opportunities for personal reflection and worship while exploring the background and writer of each.

Notes to a Working Woman:
Finding Balance, Passion,
and Fulfillment in Your Life
By Luci Swindoll
Led by Christina Brandal

Location: R-1
Book Cost: $13

Some women in the workplace love the Lord, enjoy their work, and are respected by their coworkers. Does this describe you? Or do you, like so many others, struggle with blending faith and work? Do you want to make a difference where you work but wonder how you can without sacrificing your values in order to get ahead.
An accomplished businesswoman for over 30 years, Luci Swindoll offers practical approaches to help working women learn how to be the best at what they do while finding fulfillment in their occupations.

Attending the Bride of Christ:
Preparing for His Return
by Martha Lawley
Room S-15
led by Lori Smith

This study helps women:

~ See the church as Christ sees her - as a
shining bride preparing for the Bridegroom.

~ Learn how Jesus often used the marriage relationship to teach us about Himself, His purposes, and His ways.

~ Better understand God's plan for the church and how they can prepare for Christ's return.

It draws from the rich symbolism of a Jewish wedding, familiar during Jesus' times, but not always understood by today's Christians.

By the conclusion of this study, women will discover fascinating biblical truths that point to the climax of history - the marriage feast of the Lamb!


 

 

Respectable Sins:
Confronting the Sins We Tolerate
By Jerry Bridges
Led by Randy McIlhaney

Location: R-5
Book Cost: $10

As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered
equal in God's eyes. Yet we continue to decry the Big Ones--such as abortion, adultery, and violence--and often overlook more deceptive sins. It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably exist within the church. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.
Just as culture has lost the concept of sin, the church faces the same danger. Drawing from scriptural truth, author Jerry Bridges sheds light on subtle behaviors that can derail our spiritual growth. Throughout the pages of this book readers are encouraged to be victorious over personal sin through the gospel's transforming power.
