Join us as we  journey through the Book of First Samuel, which is an epic story about a fight for control. Despite God’s warnings through the prophet Samuel, the nation of Israel was determined to take control by having their own king. As we dig into the saga of King Saul and David, who would become the next anointed king of Israel, we will discover that no plan or purpose of God can be thwarted by human beings. Even the worst of circumstances can be used by God to accomplish His purposes in our lives.

Sign Up Today for our Women's Facebook Online Study Begins February 1 

God can turn your messy life into a masterpiece! Every life gets messy at times. Whether it's a messy house or a messy situation, God can restore and use you. In this 6-week study of some messy biblical people, you will learn that God uses broken people, restores broken hearts, and helps us deal with the hard moments of life. Each week focuses on a different character.  

Our study will be based on Jennifer Cowart's DVD study called: "Messy People: Life Lessons from Imperfect Biblical Heroes." 

No book or materials need to be purchased. All you need is a Bible and access to Facebook. This study provides a wonderful opportunity to invite Facebook friends near and far to join, too! We've had friends, sisters, mothers, and daughters connect and study together. Our studies provide daily encouragement, positive connections with other women, and awesome discussion.  

To learn more how our Facebook study works or to join, please email Katherine Richards.
