    Questions for Group Discussion

    Reflection: What aspect or lesson from last week’s study or lecture most encouraged or challenged you? Why?

    Rahab lived in Jericho, a strategically located fortress city surrounded with a massive wall, representing an overwhelming obstacle to the children of Israel as they entered the land of promise. Rahab’s response of faith is an illustration of how God uses obedient faithfulness to break down obstacles facing His children.

  • Lesson 3: Abraham and Sarah - Hebrews 11:8-18

    Questions for Group Discussion

    Reflection: What aspect or lesson from last week’s study or lecture most encouraged or challenged you? Why?

    Begin your study in prayer and remain faithful in those “long-term” prayers. God’s delays are not denials. Abraham and Sarah demonstrated their faith by following God’s call with patient endurance for more than 100 years. Their heavenly focus revealed confident assurance that their true treasures were in a heavenly city.

    Noah was warned by God about things never before seen. Noah’s obedient faith is recorded, and he is remembered by God as an heir of righteousness. Pray for the Lord to enable you to emulate the faith of Noah in your circumstances this week.

  • Lesson 1: Cain and Abel - Hebrews 11:4

    Questions for Group Discussion

    Reflection: What aspect or lesson from last week’s study or lecture most encouraged or challenged you? Why?

    Begin this lesson by praying for wisdom in your relationships. Cain and Abel provide a dramatic picture of broken relationships and contrasting lives. They illustrate both the blessings of faithful worship and the danger of self-willed worship. Their lives stand as an encouragement and a warning these thousands of years later.

  • Fall Forward in Women's Ministry

    Fall is the perfect time for a change of seasons in Women’s Ministry. A fresh approach may be in order. Let’s not just fill the church calendar with “stuff” and “fluff,” but strategically plan for a meaningful year of ministry. If you have been doing the “same ole, same ole” for years, i.e.…a ladies retreat, fall Bible studies and a Saturday Special, just the status quo -- then STOP! It’s time to re-evaluate the ministry. Ask yourself and your Leadership Team some important questions:

  • Fellowship-Driven Ministry?

    About ten years ago, I was teaching a women’s Bible study in a church where we had ten groups of six to eight women showing up weekly, most of whom had done their homework. It wasn’t an intensive Bible study, but neither was it “Bible Study Lite.” The leadership team was thrilled to see a high percentage of the women in our church sticking to a commitment to study God’s word regularly and benefiting from the personal accountability and mentoring that came from group interaction.

  • Celebrity-Driven Christianity?

    1 Thess 4.11: Aspire to lead a quiet life.

    “It's the seemingly unimportant people who determine the course of history. The greatest forces in the universe are never spectacular. Summer showers do more good than hurricanes but they don't get a lot of publicity. The world would soon die but for the loyalty, creativity and commitment of those whose names are unhonoured and unsung.”

    by James Sizoo (whom no one seems able to identify)
