Life's Healing Choices
Special Situation

We’ve all been hurt by other people, we’ve hurt ourselves, and we’ve hurt others. And as a result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt, hang-up, or habit. But the question we all face is, Where do we go from here? Ten years after the original edition of Life’s Healing Choices, this newly revised edition contains updates to basic teaching principles “based on ten years experience” as well as new and contemporary testimonies. Using the Beatitudes of Jesus as a foundation, Rick Warren and John Baker, pastors at Saddleback Church, developed the eight choices shared in this book. You’ll find real answers, real hope, and a real future “one healing choice” at a time.
NOTE: This class is only open to Women this semester.

Prophecy in the Book of Daniel - Jan 13–Mar 3
If you would like to know God’s program for the future, it is essential that you understand the book of Daniel. By and large, God does not unfold the future to us, and certainly not in detail. But He does show us in the prophetic Scriptures the general trend of events and where it will all end. Anyone who investigates this area thoughtfully, carefully, and scripturally will discover everything that is happening in our world today is working out God’s purposes on earth. The prophecies will all end exactly as God foretold. We can begin to understand what is happening today if we know what His prophetic program is.
The Study of Jonah - Mar 24–Apr 14
God pursued Jonah and brought him to the realization that His way is best. God taught Jonah that he could do nothing by himself. The book of Jonah teaches us to obey God’s call the first time and prepares us to be amazed at what God can accomplish through us.

This infertility support group was created to walk alongside those struggling with the grief of difficulty conceiving whether it's infertility, miscarriage, prolonged “waiting” or those waiting to adopt. There is hope to be found during this season of waiting. Genuine, life-giving help can come from others walking this journey together. Our goal is that this group and our events would be a source of hope, strength, insight, freedom and honest heartfelt encouragement to those walking through what can feel like a very long and rocky path.
Beholding
We want to behold the beauty and mystery of God through Bible study, prayer and worship. We offer a variety of Bible studies throughout the week, as well as on Sunday.
Becoming
As you behold God through the grace and truth of Scripture, you will become the woman He created you to be. You are His masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for the good works God prepared in advance for you. Take our free spiritual gifts assessment to learn how God has uniquely designed you to serve based on your passions, strengths and personality traits.
Join one of our discipleship programs to encourage and be encouraged by other women seeking to grow their relationship with Jesus.
Belonging
Whether you are 18 or 98, or somewhere in between, there’s a place for you in Women’s Ministry. You belong here, and your story matters. Here at Houston’s First, you are part of a sisterhood where we encourage one another in every stage and season of life. We are stronger and better together!
