Ladies, the Summer is a great time to become involved in a Bible Study! We have two great studies to choose from so you can find a time that works for you. You may register online for any of these classes or by calling 770-943-3008, ext. 6036.

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
by Joanna Weaver

The life of a woman today isn’t really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the lord’s feet…but the daily demands of a busy world just won’t leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him…yet you struggle with weariness, resentment and feelings of inadequacy. Join us for this study as we take a fresh approach to a familiar Bible story. This author will show us how to draw closer to our Lord: deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy. (Registration fee $15)

The Frazzled Female
by Cindi Wood

This study is being led by members of our MOPS group but is open to women of all ages. If you are looking for a great study and meet other young moms, this is a great opportunity!

Discerning the Voice of God: How to recognize when God Speaks
By Priscilla Shirer

The Father desires a personal relationship in which He speaks directly to you. Have you spent most of your Christian life leaning on these beliefs without really experiencing them?

Through this study you will become more familiar with God’s Holy Spirit, His character, language, and tone of voice. This study includes daily lessons, weekly group discussion, and a video presentation at the weekly sessions. (Registration fee $12)

Jesus in the Gospels
This study will look at Jesus in the various ways the Gospels present him. Each Gospel has its own way of portraying Jesus and expressing his significance. So each Gospel deserves to be heard in its own right. So you might call Jesus in the Gospels a “hearing aid,” carefully designed to help all readers listen more attentively in order to hear each Gospel story’s witness to Jesus. (Registration fee $40)

Christian Believer: Knowing God with Heart and Mind
Have you ever wondered what the church believes about God? About humanity? About Jesus Christ? Where did the Apostles' Creed come from? How were decisions made about church doctrine? If you have, there is a course planned that will help you think through these questions and many others. It is called Christian Believer. It follows the same pattern as Disciple Bible Study, though it is not necessary to have taken Disciple to take this course. The course is demanding. It asks for a 30 week commitment to a two-hour meeting once a week and 30 minutes a day for workbook study. You will encounter many of the great theologians of the church. (Registration fee $30)

Walking by Faith
by Jennifer Rothschild

Author, speaker, and recording artist Jennifer Rothschild knows not everyone sees 20/20. Although Jennifer is physically blind, God has taught her to see that living a life based on faith rather than sight requires us to look at our situations through a lens that filters out what is seen and, instead, focuses on what is unseen – those things that are eternal. This seven week study encourages participants to take risks, give God control, persevere through hardship and seek God. (Registration fee $12)

The Quest for Authentic Manhood
This study is the foundational level or ground floor of manhood. This 24-session study focuses on a man's core identity and gives an overview of basic manhood issues. It will help men deal with various identity issues by looking back at past wounds and other things that may have distorted their idea of biblical masculinity. Throughout the course of the study, men will learn how to clearly define manhood and will finally be able to give a succinct and passionate answer to the questions, "What is a man?" and "What am I living to be?" There will be 12 sessions in the Fall and the other 12 sessions will begin in January. Dr. Jim Higgins will be the leader for this study. (Registration fee: $11)
