Women's Old Testament Bible Study: Ruth/Esther

Ladies, join us on Wednesday mornings, beginning September 16th, for an in-depth study of Ruth/Esther. Kathie Stocker leads this incredible study designed to help you grow in your personal faith in Jesus Christ by seeing God's loving faithfulness, acts of redemption, and reasons to celebrate through the eyes and lives of Ruth and Esther. The discussions are always engaging, and the dive into Scripture will increase your understanding of the Word and your own relationship with the One Who Loves and Redeems You. We cannot wait to have you join us!

Text Message of Encouragement

Lord, I pray that you remind each woman that she is loved, chosen, redeemed, forgiven, accepted, and a precious child of our Living God. May she embrace and live out those words and her love for you through her thoughts and actions. May she tell other women the same--and shine Your Light where she lives, works, and plays. Lord, may all your daughters love you so much they go out and disciple others and share the great news of your gifts of mercy and grace. Lord, may it be so!

Want to discover more? Are you having a rough day? Has your sparkled dimmed? Is your walk less joy-filled? Reach out to a loving Christian sister and let her speak His love and truth into you. Then, grab a cup of tea and look up these verses and remember what He says about you. Jeremiah 31:3, 1 Peter 2:9, Galatians 3:13, 1 John 1:9, Isaiah 43:4, Isaiah 40:31, Romans 15:7, and John 1:12. You are so loved and precious, sweet sisters!
