FALL 2017 Wednesday Morning Classes The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts Military Edition by Gary Chapman and Jocelyn Green

Marriage is hard enough for the everyday civilian. But imagine marriage when you’re separated by thousands of miles . . . when one of you daily faces the dangers of serving our country . . . while the other shoulders all the burden of home-front duties. Add to that unpredictable schedules, frequent moves, and the challenge of reintegration, and it’s no wonder military marriages are under stress. Oh wait…some of you don’t have to imagine it, you are living it. This is YOUR class. Guided by input from dozens of military couples in all stages of their careers, authors Gary Chapman and former military wife Jocelyn Green offer you an unparalleled tool for navigating these challenges. Adapted from #1 New York Time bestseller The 5 Love Languages, this military edition helps heal broken relationships and strengthen healthy ones. The challenges of military marriages are unique, but they don’t have to hinder love. Learn how to keep yours healthy and flourishing.

Expecting to See Jesus: A Wake-up Call for God’s People By Anne Graham Lotz Expecting to See Jesus is the result of Anne Graham Lotz’s life lived in the hope of Jesus’ return. As you journey with her through the pages of the Bible, you’ll come to realize why she lives her life expecting to see Jesus at any minute. And, she wants to make sure you and all other Christians are ready for that moment when your faith becomes sight. Anne knows from personal experience that it’s in the busyness of our days, as we’re drifting in comfortable complacency, that we most need a wake-up call—a jolt that pushes us to seek out a revival of our passion for Jesus that began as a blazing fire but somehow has died down to an ineffective glow. In Expecting to See Jesus, Anne points out the biblical signs she sees in the world all around us and shows how you can experience an authentic, deeper, richer relationship with God in a life-changing, fire-blazing revival. Anne Graham Lotz is a bestselling and award-winning author of eleven books, including Wounded by God’s People. Called "the best preacher in the family" by her father, Billy Graham, Anne speaks around the globe with the wisdom and authority of years spent studying God's Word. The New York Times named Anne one of the five most influential evangelists of her generation.

Believing God By Beth Moore Believing God: Experiencing a Fresh Explosion of Faith - in-depth women's Bible study based on Isaiah 43:10 that explores what it means not only "to believe in God" but "to believe Him." The bride of Jesus Christ in our generation is nearly paralyzed by unbelief. God is calling His bride to a fresh and lavish anointing of faith. Through studying the lives of Abraham, Moses, and others as examples of persons who believed God, Beth encourages women to deepen their own trust in God and receive a fresh word from Him. A Note from Beth Moore: "God confronted me with the truth that though I had believed in Him for many years, I had hardly begun to believe Him. He made something clear to me that He has sent me forth to say to you: God is so much more than we have yet acknowledged and experienced. He is capable of tremendously more than we have witnessed. I have become utterly convinced that we see so little primarily because we believe Him for so little. Here's the great news: God wants to change all that!"

II Timothy A Cole Ministries Study While facing execution at the hand of Nero, Paul writes this final letter, a farewell letter to young Timothy. What were the thoughts of Paul as he faced death? What was Timothy’s responsibility as he saw his culture, government and church departing from faith and truth? What is ours? How was Timothy to live in the hostile atmosphere of unbelief in which he found himself? How are we? Not only will we find answers to these questions in II Timothy; but we shall acquire study skills “handling accurately the word of truth.” (II Timothy 2:15) Christians are called to share in suffering as they hold fast to Scripture and to truth while pursuing godliness and encouraging others to do the same. These three themes— suffering, truth, and godliness—are the themes to which Paul returns throughout this letter.
