2 Monday Evenings Healing Hearts Ministry A Gospel-centered, grace-driven personal ministry for the wounded. Jesus warned that we would have struggles in this life. Sometimes we are the cause of our own struggles, and sometimes we suffer because of the decisions of others.

5 Wednesday (Mid-day) Transformed Worldwide Ministries Romans (Continued from Spring 2017) This study of Romans reveals the answers to important questions each Christian must know and supplies information on many topics, such as salvation, the sovereignty of God, judgment, spiritual growth, God s plan for Jews and all people, and the righteousness of God. It is the foundation of the entire Christian faith and has changed the hearts of many as they read and understand the wonderful truths revealed inside. It shares the Gospel and teaches that our righteousness comes by faith in Jesus Christ apart from what we can do to earn it that living by rules and regulations only brings about judgment and condemnation.

Corinth was a large, international metropolis, filled with people from different backgrounds and religions. Paul directs believers to live out their commitment to Christ ever more faithfully in the midst of such challenges in and out of the church walls. He expects Christians will shine their lights into the dark places of the world. Spiritual gifts and other practical topics will be discussed. No cost for study and no homework. 12:00-1:00 PM, Room 105 When: February 7 - June 6 Teacher: Paula Harris

6 Thursday Morning Delighting in the Lord: Delighting in Being a Woman of God: A Study on the book of Esther A Jewish girl, orphaned at a young age, living in a foreign land, and being raised by her cousin; her story is one of uncertain circumstances and yet, Esther doesn t let her circumstances define her. It is her faith in God and a life lived in such a way that defines her and undergirds all that she does. God will open doors for Esther to gain a position of influence and prominence in Persia as Esther goes from orphan to queen. It was, for such a time as this that God would call upon Esther s faith to act in courage and help save the Jewish people from genocide under the hand of an evil Persian leader. The book of Esther is a story of rags to riches, life or death moments, and faith triumphing over fear. Esther s life is an example for all of us of God s love as well as what it looks like to be a woman of God. Not only will you finish this study with an understanding of this mighty work of God as He saved His people, but you ll finish with a deeper understanding and application of being a Godly woman of influence, beauty, heritage, sacrifice, humility, patience, obedience and strength. Delighting in A Life Lived For God: A Study on the book of 1 Peter Suffering, trials and persecution, they are all aspects of the Christian life and can range from a subtle rocking on unsettled seas to a full-blown tsunami threatening to devastate us. Peter knows a little something about stormy seas and a whole lot about the only sure anchor for our windblown boats. Living much of his life fishing on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus called Peter from his boat to a life lived serving God and His people. Having walked beside Jesus, Peter speaks to us from this relationship with tenderness, compassion and hope. A life lived for God will not leave us drowning in the storms of life but rather as we pursue a deeper walk with the Lord, a life lived for Him will leave us perfected, established, strengthened and settled (1 Peter 5:10). No matter what storm you are

7 A Study on the book of 1 Peter (con t) facing today, Christ will meet you in that storm and gently carry you to His safe shores. First Peter will show you how precious you are to Christ and how precious your proven faith is in the midst of suffering. The Delighting in the Lord Bible Study Series allows participants to work through each chapter of study by answering inductive, deductive and personal application questions. Study questions take about an hour to complete. There is a live teaching each week taught by Stacy Davis, Brenda Harris or Hedy Negron.
