NEW LADIES BREAKOUT SESSION – COMING NEXT WEEK 1/8/23Introducing a new Breakout Session for Ladies coming NEXT WEEK: Living a Life of True Worship.
Study Description:How does one worship a Holy God? Is there a longing within you to worship God in spirit and in truth? To know that you have approached a holy God through your reasonable service of worship?We all worship someone, something–and our worship takes many forms. But according to God, if your worship is to be true worship it must be His way. God said, “By those who come near Me, I will be treated as holy, and before all the people I will be honored.”
How…when…where does man worship God in spirit and in truth? This is what you will discover for yourself as we study and discuss together what God says about all those who would come near to Him.In this 40 minute-per-session Bible study we will investigate powerful Biblical truth on the important issue of worshiping a holy God. Each lesson is designed to draw you into God’s Word through basic inductive Bible study. No homework is required, so everyone in the group can work through the lesson together at the same time. Join one of the worlds’ most respected Bible teachers, Kay Arthur, in a study that will revolutionize your thinking –and your life.When and Where:
