Discover what it means to live with unshakeable purpose and hope! In our study of 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:10, we explore how Paul encouraged believers facing real persecution—teaching us how the Gospel calls us to be "co-workers with God" and find our identity in His mission, not in worldly comfort. Whether you're navigating challenges or seeking deeper purpose, this study offers practical truth about living by faith and love that withstands any storm. Join a community that grows together and discovers the joy of hearts anchored in Gospel truth.

In our study of 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16, we discovered that Paul's ministry in Thessalonica demonstrates that God is the source of our faith, love, and hope. Despite facing shameful treatment in Philippi, Paul and his companions became even bolder in sharing the Gospel - showing us that suffering can produce courageous faith rather than fear. Paul defended his pure motives before false accusers, living for an "audience of one" - God alone. He modeled ministry that flows from God's heart, caring for the Thessalonians like both a gentle nursing mother and an encouraging father. Most importantly, we learned that our manner of walking carries kingdom weight - our lives are always preaching, and people are watching to see if our conduct matches our claims about God.

Join us for this powerful study as we explore how God uses even our suffering to strengthen our faith and make us bold witnesses for His kingdom.

Join us as we dive into 1 Thessalonians chapter 1, exploring how "the Gospel is the power of God at work in and through His church to make all things new." We'll explore what it means to be a church marked by faith, love, and hope—despite persecution. Through verse-by-verse study, we examine how God transforms lives through the Gospel that comes in word, power, and the Holy Spirit. This study challenges us to turn from our modern idols, imitate Christ in affliction, and actively spread the Gospel while waiting for Jesus' return. If the resurrection is true, everything is going to be all right.

Join us as we explore the profound message of Galatians in our Women's Bible study. In our final session, we'll unpack Paul's passionate conclusion in Galatians 6:11-18, where he writes "with large letters" to emphasize his heartfelt plea. Discover what it means to live a cross-centered life that seeks to please Jesus rather than people, boasts only in Christ instead of ourselves, treasures Jesus above worldly things, and walks faithfully with Him daily. Come experience the transformative power of God's grace as we learn together what it means to truly say, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."

Join us as we explore Galatians 6:6-10, where Demara unpacks Paul's powerful agricultural metaphor — what we sow, we will reap — and addresses the universal challenge of trying to earn salvation through our own righteousness rather than relying on God's grace. This study examines the warning against "sowing to the flesh," the promise of "sowing to the Spirit" and reaping eternal life, finding strength when we grow weary in doing good, and practical ways to care for our community of faith, all while discovering how the Gospel frees us from the burden of self-justification and empowers us to live in genuine community where God's strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Join us as we explore Galatians 6:-15, where we discover what it means to live in authentic Christian community. Through Paul's beautiful instruction to "bear one another's burdens," we'll learn how the Spirit empowers us to walk alongside each other with gentleness, humility, and love. Whether you're struggling with your own burdens or seeking to support others in theirs, this study reveals how our heavenly Father designed us to journey together as a family. Come experience the freedom and joy that comes when we fulfill the law of Christ by carrying each other's loads on our path toward our eternal home.

Join us for part two of "Walking in the Spirit" with a focus on "Cultivating the Fruit." Exploring Galatians 5:22-26, we'll discover how the fruit of the Spirit isn't a checklist but a transformative journey that happens over time through our connection with Christ. You'll learn how love forms the foundation for all spiritual growth, why unity matters in our community, and practical ways to keep in step with the Spirit daily. Come explore how being led by the Spirit can heal relationships, transform character, and help us grow in ways we might not even notice until we look back and see how far we've come.
