NEHEMIAH STUDY
Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Tuesday Morning Bible Study
“Nehemiah” Tuesday Morning Bible Study with Ann Lee. One of the powerful messages of Nehemiah is how much you can accomplish when you align yourself with the will and plan of God. Nehemiah and his followers do what seems impossible because they are doing what God has called them to do. You don’t have to rebuild a wall to do the will of God! The study meets every Tuesday, starting May 3rd at 9:30 am in Room 202/Main Building. Missed a session, click on the links below to watch.

“Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table” by Louie Giglio
Women’s Study, led by Erin Miles
Wednesday at 7:45 a.m. in room 205/Main Building
Women’s Study, led by Erin Miles
Wednesday at 7:45 a.m. in room 205/Main Building
In Psalm 23, David wrote that God has “prepared a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” It’s important to note that this table is set for two. Our enemy, the devil, is not intended to join us there. Yet, he seizes every opportunity to lie his way into our minds and claim control over our lives. He can cause our minds to spin out of control with thoughts that are unproductive, destructive, and harmful. It is our responsibility to manage whose voices are at that table! Our Good Shepherd invites us to linger at this table and find nourishment, rest, and deep intimacy with the King of the Universe. It’s time to win the battle for your mind.

“THE FULL BLESSING OF PENTECOST” by Andrew Murray
We believe it, we preach it, we strive for it–but still, for many, the kind of free-flowing life in the fullness of the Spirit is more of a dream than a reality.
Andrew Murray skillfully identifies the defects in faith that prevent the life-giving flow, and guides us to the Spirit’s full blessing!
Andrew Murray skillfully identifies the defects in faith that prevent the life-giving flow, and guides us to the Spirit’s full blessing!
“Only as we understand that believing in him means a yielding up of the whole heart and life and will, to let him live and rule within us, can we confidently count upon receiving all that we need of the Holy Spirit’s power and presence,” Murray says. “When Christ becomes to us all that God has made him to be, then the Holy Spirit can flow from him and do his blessed work of leading us back to know him better, and to believe in him more completely.”
Let The Full Blessing of Pentecost lead you to the well of living water you’ve been longing for. Please see series link below.
