If we as followers of Christ are all called to discipleship (Titus 2; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; John 13:34-35; 15:16-17; Colossians 1:28-29; Hebrews 3:12-14), are we being obedient in that most basic calling? In our new series, Redemptive Relationships, we'll be learning why we are to pursue them, the unique strengths and weaknesses we share as women regarding this calling, as well as how to cultivate them in our daily lives. 

I hope you're ready to be challenged in your thinking as we explore these topics together. We'll get into the Word and consider these things and what it means for our lives and practice!

We hope you'll be uplifted and encouraged by what the Bible has to say and that you'll come back with us week after week as we continue to learn and grow together!

This time of the year it is common to talk about resolutions and positive changes we want to bring about. People talk about 'manifesting your destiny', and gym memberships are on the rise, but when was the last time you really considered where you were at in your spiritual life? If you had a check-engine light for the dashboard of your soul, how many lights are blinking and when was the last time you had it serviced? Come along with us as we ponder the past year and prayerfully consider the year to come - What does God desire for us in 2024?

I hope you're ready to be challenged in your thinking as we explore these topics together. We'll get into the Word and consider these things and what it means for our lives and practice!

We hope you'll be uplifted and encouraged by what the Bible has to say and that you'll come back with us week after week as we continue to learn and grow together!

It can be a struggle to know what our next steps are spiritually, and when we recognize them it can be a challenge to take those steps. As we see others come to Christ or young Christians enter our lives, it can be a challenge to know how to encourage their growth and be a source of fanning the flame of their spiritual lives. We'll discuss practical ways God has worked in our lives and lessons we've learned (often the hard way) on this important subject. 

I hope you're ready to be challenged in your thinking as we explore these topics together. We'll get into the Word and consider these things and what it means for our lives and practice!

We hope you'll be uplifted and encouraged by what the Bible has to say and that you'll come back with us week after week as we continue to learn and grow together!

Odds are you aren't very happy with your current life. Maybe your career hasn't turned out the way you imagined, or your marriage is not as exciting as you'd always dreamed. Tell me- honestly - if you could completely re-haul your home at no cost, what kind of major changes have you been longing for? 

Most of us don't sit around thanking God for His care and provision - In fact most of the time our prayers (if we make them) sound much more like to-do lists than praise services! Lets spend some time studying what God has to say about gratitude and thanksgiving, and see if we can break some ungodly habits and give our Great and Amazing God a small amount of the praise He deserves from us!!

I hope you're ready to be challenged in your thinking as we explore these topics together. We'll get into the Word and consider these things and what it means for our lives and practice!

We hope you'll be uplifted and encouraged by what the Bible has to say and that you'll come back with us week after week as we continue to learn and grow together!

Love - It's what the world needs most (or at least what we talk about and crave the most!) There are multiple types of love in the Bible, and today we are only studying it from a panoramic view. But God is Love, and He talks about this attribute over and over again in His Word. What is it really - how can we Biblically define it? And what does this mean about the amazing God Who loves us? 

I hope you're ready to be challenged in your thinking as we explore these topics together. We'll get into the Word and consider these things and what it means for our lives and practice!

We hope you'll be uplifted and encouraged by what the Bible has to say and that you'll come back with us week after week as we continue to learn and grow together!
