Women's Bible Studies

As Silver Refined  •  Kay Arthur
Everyone faces disappointments, trials, and struggles.  One of the first questions we ask is, “How could God let this happen?”  But what if God didn’t just “let it happen?”  What if the things we call disappointments are really his appointments—events that God is using in our lives to refine us to be more like Christ?  Readers will learn to embrace disappointment with a faith that recognizes the trials of life as tools that God uses to make us, As Silver Refined, more beautiful and valuable.

A Believer’s Guide to Spiritual Fitness  •  Carol J. Ruvolo
Do you wish you were better fit to handle the challenges of life?  This practical guide draws a vivid analogy between physical and spiritual fitness in order to show how God turns our weakness into strength for life and service. 

Broken Down House  •  Paul David Tripp
Sin has ravaged the house that God created. This world sits slumped, disheveled, and in pain, groaning for the restoration that can only be accomplished by the hands of him who built it in the first place.  The bad news is that you and I are living right in the middle of the restoration process.  The good news is that Emmanuel lives here with us, and he is at work returning his house to its former beauty.   Learn how you can be an active part of the restoration at the heart of God’s plan and live productively in the here and now.

Boundaries  •  Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend
Do you have trouble-saying no?  Can you set limits and still be a loving person?  What are legitimate boundaries?  Discover biblical answers to these tough questions in this video driven study that looks at “ten different laws of boundaries.”  Cloud and Townsend will show you how understanding and setting boundaries can bring new health to your relationships.

Ephesians: Free From Bondage God’s Way  •  Kay Arthur
Stuck in do’s and don’ts?  Trapped in a sin?  There is such freedom in Christ—freedom from hypocrisy, bad motives, habits, and evil.  This short, daily study will guide you to a deeper understanding of who you are in Christ and how you can better live that understanding out in your daily life.  This study was created for those who want to dig deeper into God’s Word in the midst of a busy life.

Everyday Talk  •  John A. Younts
Do the frustrations of parenting sometimes get the better of you?  Do you react or say words you later regret?  Everyday Talk offers practical, creative ways to help you be a better parent to the children God has placed in your care.  Parents are encouraged to use everyday conversations to lead their children into a greater awareness of the presence and glory of God.

A Gospel Centered Life  •  World Harvest Mission
Many Christians have a weak understanding of the gospel, which leads believers to the frustrations of often unknowingly living by their own righteousness.  Learn how the gospel can shape every aspect of a Christian’s life and conduct and why its continual rediscovery and application will help bring about true spiritual growth and freedom from legalism.

Joshua: All God’s Good Promises  •  Kathleen Buswell Nielson
This study brings you face to face with the promise-keeping God of Joshua.  Close attention is given to the shape and development of the narrative—as Joshua leads Israel across the Jordan, through the conquest of the land, and into the inheritance promised them.  Each lesson’s five days of questions will challenge readers to respond in faith and obedience to this same faithful, powerful, covenant-keeping God.

Me Myself & Lies: A Thought Closet Makeover  •  Jennifer Rothschild
Words are powerful.  Especially the words we speak to ourselves.  All too often, what we replay in our minds is not even close to the words and truths God wants us to fill our minds with.  This video Bible study is for women seeking encouragement on practical ways to clean out the junk in their thought closets and replace negative thinking and ruminating on past failures with what God’s word says is true about them. 

1 & 2 Peter: Grace to Stand Firm, Grace to Grow  •  Carol J. Ruvolo
Peter had been truly transformed by the gospel of grace and had come a long way since he was first introduced to Jesus.   He learned to stand firm and grow in the true grace of God. He learned his salvation and sanctification were works of this grace.  Be encouraged today as you observe how Peter helped first-century Christians live out their high calling amidst trials and persecution.

Psalms: Praising God Through Prayer & Worship  •  Kay Arthur & Pete De Lacy
Do you sometimes wonder why God seems to be silent?  Are you ever weighed down with cares that you’d like to give to God?  Most of all, would you like to know Him better and let His praises fill your life?  Then this study, which includes seven short reading assignments per week, is for you.  As you interact with the Psalms you will discover deeper treasures of who God is which will lead your heart to greater praise and worship of Him.
 
What Jesus Demands from the World  •  John Piper
The four gospels are filled with demands straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ.  They’re not the harsh demands of a taskmaster, but Jesus’ way of showing us who he is and what he expects of us.  What Jesus Demands From the World will encourage you to trust and treasure Christ above all.

Colossians & Philemon: Continue to Live in Him  •  Kathleen Buswell Nielson
Colossians and Philemon are beautiful and fascinating letters written by Paul from prison during the first remarkable years of growth in the early church.  In this five day a week study, explore with us how Paul teaches believers about the superiority of who Christ is and addresses false teachings that sound remarkably similar to many ideas of today’s world.
