A Heart After God: A Study of Biblical Women to Cultivate God's Character

Tuesdays, Jan 23–Mar 5 @ 10–11:30a (FSC)

God's word is full of stories of amazing women. By examining their example and character, we will see both their strength in personal successes and their frailty through the mistakes they made along the way. We will study topics such as prayer, worship, patience in waiting, forgiveness, and surrender to grow in the Lord and deepen our walk with Him. We'll discuss practical ways to learn to depend entirely upon Jesus, so that our hearts will rest in and focus on God alone.
