The loss of a loved one puts us on an unwelcome journey of heartache which often leads us in directions we never imagined. If you’re a woman looking for hope; looking for understanding and support, please join us in a small group of sharing, praying, and encouraging each other. Encouragement comes from truth in God’s Word. There’s no better source than God Himself, the Comforter. And it’s to Him that we’ll direct our prayers for each other. If you just want to come and say hardly anything at all, that’s OK. Together we will work through “The Quest” a study by Beth Moore

Psalm 34:18 says, 

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
    He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

• In the Middle of the Mess Video Study is a six-session DVD Bible Study for women facing trials of every kind.In her long-awaited new book, Sheila Walsh equips women with a practical method for connecting with God’s strength in the midst of struggle. From daily frustrations that can feel like overwhelming obstacles to hard challenges that turn into rock-bottom crises, women will find the means to equip themselves for standing strong with God. Using the spiritual applications of confession, prayer, and meditation on Scripture to form a daily connection to Jesus, women will learn how to experience new joy as a child of God who is fully known, fully loved, and fully accepted.In In the Middle of the Mess, Walsh reveals the hardened defenses that kept her from allowing God into her deepest hurts and shares how entering into a safe place with God and practicing this daily connection with him have saved her from the devil’s prowling attacks. Though we will never be completely “fixed” on earth, we are continually held by Jesus, whatever our circumstances.

The crooked punctuation mark at the end of a sentence speaks of curiosity, interest, and  perhaps doubt. A question is an invitation to vulnerability, to intimacy. The Bible does not shy away from such an invite. Over and over we see the people of God asking questions of their    Creator. We also see the God of the universe  asking questions of His creation. The Quest is a challenge to accept the invitation. In this excursion with Jesus, Beth Moore uses questions from Scripture to lead you into intimacy with the One who knows you best. Learn to dig into the Word, to respond to the questions of God, and to bring your questions before Him. Let the crooked punctuation mark be the map that points you into a closer relationship with the Father.

• Learn to pray to promote intimacy with God.
• Explore questions and responses from the Bible.
• Track your quest by journaling along the way.
• Learn to read and respond to Scripture.

No Other Gods: The Unrivaled Pursuit of Christ includes fresh content, activities, recipes, and eight video teaching sessions. This study will challenge women to evaluate the modern-day idols in our culture and embrace a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus.

Often, idols are obvious—money, power, fame. But subtler idols can sometimes take the form of loved ones, Instagrammable interiors, and busy seasons of work, motherhood, or ministry. But if your heart is prioritizing any of those pursuits before God, they are taking up space meant for Him alone, you’re missing the unrivaled joy and adventure of Jesus being your heart’s ultimate treasure.

In this 8-session study, learn to identify the functional gods you are serving daily and the lies they tell. Only when you learn to dethrone modern-day idols can you pursue a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus.

Benefits:

• Stop wasting time on the temporal, false gods, and invest in the eternal, one true God.
• Recognize the lies behind false gods, and learn to identify the Truth.
• Dethrone your modern-day idols, and experience the abundant life in Christ.

Features:

• Interactive teaching videos approximately 20-25 minutes in length per session
• Leader helps to guide questions and discussions within small groups
• Personal study segments with homework to complete between 8 weeks of group sessions
• Recipes to help grow friendship and community within your small group
