Spring Bible Study Coming Up Via Zoom or In Person

Spring Bible Study Coming Up Via Zoom or In Person
Do you have a way to prepare your heart for Holy Week and Easter (Easter is April 20 this year)?  There are certainly a plethora of resources available these days.

I personally have used Lent reading plans in The Bible App in the past.  Another resource I used when my children were at home was Preparing for Easter by James L. Evans.  Being raised Southern Baptist where Lent is not observed, this book was one of my first introductions to the idea of preparation for Easter.  I have also benefited from Nancy Guthrie's Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross: Experiencing the Passion and Power of Easter.

In the fall as we were finishing our study of Ephesians 4-6, I asked our Women's Bible study group for suggestions for the Spring 2025 study.  The seven I am statements of Jesus leading up to Easter was one of the results and after praying for direction, I felt this would be a powerful study for this time.

We're meeting on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, March 6-April 17.  We'd love to have you!

Praying Paul’s Prayers from Ephesians 1

Praying Paul’s Prayers from Ephesians 1
Have you used Scripture to guide your prayers before, aside from the Model Prayer Jesus taught? Perhaps you are used to praying scripture for others. So let me ask you—do you pray for yourself? Praying for ourselves is one of the hardest things to do, isn't it? Yet if we think that praying these verses for others can make a profound difference in their lives, why would we not want to ask the Lord to do the same for us?
