A different leader each week will cover one of Jesus' "I Am" statements where Jesus reveals his divine identity and purpose, each signifying His unique role in providing spiritual sustenance, guidance, salvation and eternal life to believers.
- Women's Midweek Study of 1 John... Learn what the life of a true believer looks like. Many of us may think that the disciples were somehow superhuman, which enabled them to live the life of faith we only read about in the bible. But a true believer is not superhuman. A true believer may not always be likable, attractive, specifically talented, or really stand out at all. A true believer rather, is marked by repentance, speaking truth, obedience to the word of God, long suffering, faith and trust in the object of our faith rather than the circumstance. Knowing the evidence of faith based on scripture exposes the beauty and authenticity of true faith. Come be challenged and encouraged no matter where you are in your walk with Jesus. The Women's Ministry Room is #300 on the third floor. There is no cost or book needed for the Bible Study.
