Winter-Spring 2019 Wednesday Morning Classes Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free By Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Ask yourself “What lies have I believed?” Are you believing that God is not really enough for your life? That you aren’t worth anything? Are you banking on physical beauty or do you feel you can’t help being the way you are? Do you ever find yourself saying you can’t control your emotions or blaming it all on your circumstances? These are just a few of the 40 lies this class will read and discuss at length as well as the Biblical truth to refute each and every lie the Deceiver sows. DeMoss writes, “The essence of true salvation is not a matter of profession or performance; rather it is a transformation: ‘If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!’” Teachers: Brittany Rowan & Heather Bettis Wednesday mornings 9:15-11:50 January 9 – May 8 Book and Companion Guide: $15

The Book of James Cole Ministries Study The Book of James is filled with practical wisdom for Christians, calling us to live out genuine faith through good works. In our own ability, we cannot stand in the face of adversity. Without faith we could never find the strength to trust God. We would never be able to see above the trials we meet and to keep our eyes focused on the King while counting our trials as joy. This is the essence of James. We don’t work to be saved; we work because we are saved. Like Jesus’ teachings, the Book of James is a source of both exhortation and comfort, reproof and encouragement. James is known for being extremely practical, yet it contains some of the most profound theological truths in the New Testament. “He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.” James 1:18 NLT Teacher: Gina Riffel Wednesday mornings 9:15-11:50 January 9 – May 8 Book: $15 Childcare available

Genesis: God’s Creative Call By Charles and Anne Hummel This 26 week study opens with Creation: Our special Place in the World and takes you through the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, concluding with Joseph’s Final Years: Forgiveness, Love and Hope. Genesis shows us that even these giants of faith struggled to obey their Creator. It also reveals the amazing truth that the God who called a world and nations into being also calls each of us to serve Him. “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” – Revelation 4:11 Teacher: Carol Haines Wednesday mornings 9:15-11:50 January 9 – May 8 (continued from the fall session but new women encouraged to join) Book: $10 Childcare Available

Thursday Evening Class

Twelve More Women of the Bible Beautifully honest! That is what the Bible is. From the creation of the first man and woman in the opening chapters of Genesis to the glorious consummation of all things in the closing pages of Revelation, the Bible paints pictures of people as they really were—with all their human struggles, doubts, and failings. This includes the portrayals of women who followed God and lived by faith. The women you meet in the Bible, including those you will learn about in this twelve-session DVD study, will impress, surprise, and inspire you. Their lives were not perfect— and your life will not be perfect either. But their lessons and journeys of faith are recorded in the pages of God’s Word to help you find your way forward as you follow God’s leading in every possible situation. In every account, you meet women filled with the presence and power of the living God. Their appearance in the Bible, be it brief or expansive, is divinely ordained. Their lessons are eternal. Their lives matter to God, and they should matter to each of us as well. May God anoint your study of these unique and beautiful women, deepen your faith, and grow your passion to follow Jesus. Teacher: Vickie Burns Thursday evenings 6:30-8:30 pm January 10 – March 28 Book: $10 Room C6 (on upper level) Sorry, childcare is NOT Available
