Breaking Free is Beth Moore’s life message about freedom in Christ in this newly updated interactive study. Through Scripture you will discover the transforming power of Christian freedom. God intends for you to know and believe Him, glorify Him, experience His peace, and enjoy His presence.
Grace is at the very heart of the lifechanging and worldchanging gospel of Jesus Christ. And yet for many of us, grace seems remote, disembodied, and overly sentimental. In his book What’s So Amazing About Grace, award-winning author Philip Yancey uses biblical and contemporary stories to present grace as something that is less tame and more radical and world-changing than we typically think of it. Bring your Bible and a bag lunch, and join with other women of faith to delve more deeply into God’s amazing grace with study leaders Carter Smith and Beth Neidenbach.
Words from the prophets of ancient Israel are a familiar part of the Advent and Christmas seasons. But how much do we really know about the prophets whose lives and writings make up more than a third of the content of the Old Testament? What do they say to us as 21st century Christians? Tom and Nan McDaniel will facilitate this study.
