Fearless Love
Do you know almost every time we make an irrational decision,
nag our husbands and children, or make a complete fool of ourselves
through jealousy or gossip, it is all tied to the same thing.....
FEAR? We are fear driven people. God says perfect love drives out
all fear. He also tells us that He has not given us the spirit of
fear but power, love and a sound mind. This is a topic every woman
can relate to. We will face fear head on and leave knowing how to
truly love with a sound mind!
Unveiled Brides
This exciting new topic goes
great with wedding decorations and pictures of each of your ladies
actual wedding days. We will talk about being an unveiled face
before God. When our groom comes for us, will we be marked by the
world, by shame and sin, or will we be a beautiful reflection of His
glory? We will learn how to be filled with His presence and Word,
forgive and move forward and even Stay pure and beautiful until His
return for us. It will be a beautiful and life changing event!
(3 main sessions as well as small group or break out sessions
required)
The Trouble a Woman's Heart Brings
"You should follow your heart. Do what feels right. You can't help
the way you feel." What do all of these statements have in common?
They are all lies from Satan, your enemy who wants to steal, kill
and destroy you.
As women, we have been told all
of our lives to follow our hearts but God's Word say's, "The heart
is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked." Because we
tend to follow our hearts and emotions, we get caught in a trap of
lies. We spend our lives fighting depression, feelings of
inadequacy, hypocrisy, complacency, addictions, jealousy
etc.... all the while trying to figure out what in the world
happened to bring us to this place of defeat. We search after that
one thing that is going to fill the emptiness inside and growing
more desperate with every failed attempt. Mere religion will not fix
it.
This study will teach us how to overcome our feelings and live in
the freedom Christ died for. We will find out how to fill the
emptiness God's way and make our emotions and heart bow down to the
Word of God!
This is a life changing study
that requires at least 2 Sessions and can run up to four with break
outs. It will be based on I Kings 11 and Jeremiah 17:9.
The WORD is Alive
Lies, lies, lies, they are everywhere! Lies from our
childhood, from our past, our present and even our churches! Lies
that have made us believe we cannot change our behavior or our
lives. Or, Lies that tell us we are just fine and don't need to
change.
This topic is the most intense,
time consuming and challenging topic but it is also the one that has
changed more lives than I can keep up with, including my own. We
will learn how to do true spiritual warfare. We will laugh,
cry and leave changed.
This will require more on the
part of your women's team. I will need your team's help and we will
also have to set a few things up ahead of time. It usually requires
at least three sessions and can include break outs.
This is my favorite
because I love seeing captives set free!
(it is based on too many verses to reference but I assure you, it is
drenched in the Word!)
Getting Women off The Pews
Having problems getting your women off the pews and
out there fulfilling their destinies? This will be the topic for
you! This is about being called and accountable for doing what God
has called us to do. "That's not my gift" will not fly
standing in the face of God when He has asked us why we didn't reach
out to His children.
We will talk about the
difference between Gifts and callings. We will address ages and
callings of women with babies as well as women in retirement.
The main scriptures will be found in Isaiah 58 but there are many
more.
This topic can be done in one session or can be extended to two if
we want to get more specific to the needs of the women in our
church.
Friendships with Purpose
Do you want to see the women in your church take off
the masks and be real with one another? Do you want to see them grow
spiritually and have friendships that last a lifetime? Well, this is
the study for you. We will learn how to build true, intimate and
accountable friendships. Accountability will be the main focus and
goal.
We will teach how in scripture,
God used others to encourage, strengthen and rebuke the ones they
loved. We will learn to hold each other to a higher standard of
living in Christ and grow ourselves in the process.
We will be looking throughout the Old and New Testament to see how
God uses friends to fulfill His plan.
1 session of 45 minutes
The Power of the Tongue
Gossip, backbiting, petty arguments are common place
in women's ministry. It is sad yes, but not hopeless. We are
accountable for every word uttered out of our mouths and the ladies
in your church need to know that. Do you know that most women don't
even recognize when they are gossiping. Well, that cannot be an
excuse after this topic! Just be prepared that it might be quiet
around your church for a while until they find other things to talk
about!
Most of these scriptures
will be in James 2.
1 session in 30 to 45 minutes.
Embracing Trials / Bring it On
This topic is about going through the trials with a
new found attitude and hope. We will be talking about the refiner's
fire, and our three friends in Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego. We will discover that when our faith is tested through the
fire, we can come out stronger, wiser, and closer to God without
even smelling like smoke! The main
Scriptures are in Daniel
3:12-27.
1 session of 30 to 45 minutes.
Practical Application of the Word
This is a basic class learning how to apply what God is saying to us
in our lives to day. We will discuss journaling and memorizing
scripture as well as literally show them how to spend time with God.
Obviously, it was meant for new
Christians but women of all ages and maturity have found this topic
very helpful. It will transform your time with God and give you
helpful tips on how to remember what He has taught us.
1 session of 30 minutes.
