Let go of feeling like you are not a "good enough" Christian and find freedom in Christ by studying Paul's letter to the Galatians in Breakthrough by Barb Roose. Have you ever felt that being a good Christian means you've got to follow a bunch of rules and measure up? If so, you aren't alone! In this six-week Bible study of Galatians, Barb Roose shows us that even the believers in the early church struggled to let go of rule-keeping and performance in order to embrace God's free gift of grace. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul pours out his heart and faith to set them straight, addressing so many of the same questions and problems we still face today, such as… - Who has led you to believe you have to follow rules to be right with God? - Why do you think you have to try to be perfect for God? - How do we stay free in Christ? If you've ever struggled with these questions or felt trapped by rules or religion, this study will provide a path to discover your freedom in Christ. Through this study women will learn to: - Stop trying to measure up and embrace God's grace - Distinguish between lies and truth - Embrace God's promise of freedom

In this faith-building study, you'll discover how Elijah's obedience to God kept him anchored, sharpened his faith, broadened his impact, and invited heaven's fire to fall. God is also working in your life today to fashion a fiery, bold faith that will empower you to share the hope of Christ with your family, friends, co-workers, and community.

Find help and hope for times when it's hard to wait on God Do you ever feel like God is taking too long to answer your prayers? Have you ever taken matters into your own hands, only to discover that you've made the situation worse? Waiting on God challenges our faith when the bills are stacking up, our families are falling apart, or our dreams feel like they won't come true. We know that God hears our prayers, but it's hard when the clock is ticking yet He hasn't shown us the answer. In this four-week Bible study, Barb Roose invites us to explore the stories of women in the Bible who had to wait on God— women such as Hannah, Ruth, Martha, and the unnamed woman who suffered for over a decade with a painful medical condition. If you've felt anxious, angry, discouraged or depressed because God isn't giving you what you want, their stories will breathe fresh hope and practical next steps in your life. As a reforming control lover, Barb mixes in her personal stories of learning how to wait for God during long seasons of unanswered prayers, family difficulties, and challenging times in ministry. Together we will discover that there is goodness and blessing to be found in times of waiting, including a closer relationship with God than we've ever dared to dream.

Please join me in journeying through this 6-week Bible study (Sept. 16-Oct. 21, no study Sept. 30). You will learn how to let go by exploring Jesus' time of testing in the wilderness. As you look to His example, you'll discover six principles that will equip you to let God lead you to victory as you deal with the problems and pain you are facing. Along the way, you will compare Jesus' responses to the Israelites, who also faced a wilderness season centuries earlier. This study will equip you to give up control, reach for God, let go of fear, and experience the blessings of the surrendered life.

Empowered and Free taught by Rala Moore- In Empowered and Free we focus on our identity in Christ, the healing of our own heart and how we can walk this freedom out in our daily life. We are daughters of the King, the bride of Christ, set apart, empowered by the Holy Spirit, free and seated in the heavenly realms in Jesus Christ. I, Rala, asked the Lord to teach me to pray so that my prayers made a bigger difference in the spiritual realm. His answer was intimacy. Intimacy is when we begin to truly pray His will and live by the Spirit rather than the flesh. Prayer and worship linger together, our soul (mind, will & emotions) knowing how intertwined our spirit is with His. Come join Empowered and Free, Sept. 16th - Nov. 18th from 9:45-11:30 as we purposefully seek intimacy with our Savior through the book 'Secrets of the Secret Place' by Bob Sorge (purchase here). Each lesson is accompanied by a worship song and a short video. The last 30 minutes of class will be devoted to prayer.

Join us, Saturday, October 2 at Panera Bread from 9-10 AM where we will discuss our first book, "Singing in Babylon." This exceptionally timely book explores what it looks like to live with second choices-events and circumstances that they would not choose, some trivial, some tragic. Daniel was a man whose life was filled with second choices, but he did more than just survive; he stayed faithful to God and thrived. So what is there to learn from his story in Scripture? Pastor and author Jeff Lucas challenges readers to ask, "How can we, like Daniel, be faithful in the 'Babylon' of second choices?" Down-to-earth but inspirational, Singing in Babylon explores how the reader, like Daniel, can find purpose and meaning in life's second choices. Buy your copy of "Singing in Babylon" at the Timberline Cafe.

Join us Tuesdays 9/14-11/9 630-830 pm for this Beth Moore study: Beloved Disciple, the life and ministry of John

You Are Christ's Beloved

John the apostle must have thought he had seen everything. Having been with Jesus all the years of His ministry, John witnessed more miracles than he could count, saw more displays of power than he could comprehend, and experienced more love than he could fathom. John was there when Jesus turned the water to wine, offered living Water to the woman at the well, yielded to His Father's will in the garden of Gethsemane, and gave His life on a Roman cross. And one unforgettable morning young John outran Peter to his Savior's empty tomb.

Yet God had more in store for the Son of Thunder. As the other disciples were martyred one by one, John remained to write his sublime Gospel proclaiming Jesus' identity as the eternal Word of God. In his three letters John left a legacy of divine love to ignite the passion of future believers. And while exiled on Patmos, John recorded His risen Lord's glorious revelation of victory and hope.

John referred to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." Just as Christ took John on a lifelong journey into the depths of His love, He will do the same for you. The Bridegroom's love is unmatched and inexhaustible, and He is waiting to lavish it on you, His beloved.
