Finding Hope When Life Seems Dark

Description:   In the years between Solomon’s reign as King of Israel and the Babylonian captivity, Israel was living in spiritual and moral squalor.  Would the people listen to false prophets, whose promises of security had dulled the nation’s sensibilities, or would they turn instead to God’s holy prophets, who would faithfully give them His word of truth?  When life seemed dark, would the people choose truth to find hope?  God sent prophets to warn His people to flee from idolatry.  Join us in an exciting study of 5 minor prophets: Hosea, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah!  Learn how to discover hope in a dark world.

Joshua and the Promised Land ~ (Joshua chapters 1-6) Women Only

Description:  Joshua as a youth lived through the bitter realities of slavery in Egypt, supernatural plagues, miracles of Israel's escape from the armies of the Egyptians and the waters of the sea opening before them. Joshua alone was allowed to accompany Moses up the holy mountain where the tablets of the law were received. He was a brilliant military leader and a strong spiritual leader. Joshua was chosen to be Moses' successor and lead the people of God to finish their march. The nation miraculously crosses the Jordan River to begin the conquest of the promised land. We are going on a journey with Joshua, Rahab & the scarlet rope, spies, and the fall of Jericho. This will be an exciting in-depth verse by verse contextual study using the Holy Bible and commentaries. Women of all ages are welcome to join us!
