Tuesday Bible Study
Spirit of Life Training
Tuesday nights at 7:00PM we will dig into Andrew Wommack’s study, “God Wants You Well.” Challenge: Jesus told US to HEAL the sick (Matt. 10:1,8; Luke 9:1, and 10:9). Is that a command or a request? Scripture asks, is there any sick among us? Well are there? Why are there people sick around us? Are you appalled at what was just asked? Jesus used miracles like a dinner bell. He used them to prove He could forgive sin (Mark 2:10-12). God used them to authenticate Jesus and His message (Heb. 2:3-4). Jesus told His followers that they would do the same works He had done (John 14:12). He said that the preaching of His Word would be confirmed by signs and wonders (Mark 16:20). Study book is $14.

Women's Sunday Night Bible Study
Breaking Free: Updated Edition
Breaking Free: The Journey, The Stories - by Beth Moore leads you through a study of the Scriptures to discover the transforming power of freedom in Jesus Christ. Themes for this study come from Isaiah, a book about the captivity of God's children, the faithfulness of God, and the road to freedom. This in-depth women's Bible study draws parallels between the captive Israelites of the Old Testament and New Testament believers in Jesus as the Promised Messiah. Beth looks at the Book of Isaiah through the lives of the kings who ruled during the prophet's ministry. These kings exemplify many of the obstacles to freedom with which we must deal. Using Scripture to help identify spiritual strongholds in your life, no matter how big or small, Beth explains that anything that hinders us from the benefits of knowing God is bondage. Join Beth Moore on a Bible journey unlike any other. God intends for you to know and believe Him, glorify Him, experience His peace, and enjoy His presence. Breaking Free is Beth's life message that she wants to share with you. Taped live at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans, this study includes testimonies of how women like you have found freedom and have been delivered from personal captivity.
We will meet in the Fireside room from 6-8pm Sunday evenings for discussion and then a video lesson. Bring a light snack. Beverage will be provided. Workbooks are $20.00. We hope you will join us!!
