Women’s Bible Study
We are excited to gather on Zoom for a brand new study, Elijah, by Priscilla Shirer, this winter! On Monday Evenings, beginning January 11 – February 22, at 7pm, we will study the Word and break into small groups for discussion and connection each week.
Old Testament heroes are known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah – calling down fire on Mount Carmel.
Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget that each had a backstory – months and years of development which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable.
Serious believers long to summon up boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel, and pray down heaven into impossible situations, yet few are willing to go through the process required to get there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, courage emblazoned, and confident belief in Him set afire.
