Embracing Grace: A Study in Romans
Led by Jean Helm, this class is offered Wednesdays at 9 AM and 7 PM starting September 17.
Are you trying hard to be “good enough” for God? Have you gotten there yet? If not, then “Embracing Grace” is for you! Join other women as we study the book of Romans and discover God’s plan to get you “right” with Him. This study will answer questions such as: What does it mean to have “faith” in God? If I am a Christian, then why do I still sin? Will God stop loving me? If we are God’s children, then why do we suffer? And more! God has many wonderful things to say to you; will you receive them? Embrace God’s grace as you turn the pages of Scripture and encounter what Martin Luther describes as the “Most Important Letter in the New Testament” that should be read “every day” and known “word for word”.
Lord, Give Me a Heart for You: A devotional study on having a passion for God - 2 Corinthians
