WOMEN'S EVENING BIBLE STUDY STARTS 1/30!
|
*starting Tuesday, January 30, 2018!
A 6-week study of Ruth with the book,
A Woman Who Doesn't Quit: 5 Habits from the Book of Ruth by Nicki Koziarz.
OVERVIEW
:
Have you ever gotten to the place where you just couldn’t take it anymore? Dreams. Programs. Jobs. Relationships. There are so many different areas where we feel like calling it quits. It’s time for an honest conversation on how not to give in to the temptation to give up. Nicki Koziarz is a woman who has thrown in the towel a time or two. In fact, she’s quit just about everything in her life. But with God’s help, she’s discovered a few habits that have helped her and others conquer the choice to quit. Then there is Ruth. She is much more tha
n
a Bible
story a
nd through her life we uncover five life-giving habits that help us to persevere when things get hard, complicated, and messy. But these habits do more than just motivate, they help us to fight when resistance arises. They teach us to pursue discipline and the desire to determine our daily direction. These habits show how success is not achieved by pursuing temporary desires. The direction of our lives needs to be far less about to-do lists and accomplishments. And instead focus on becoming the people God can count on.
5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn’t Quit
will enable you to:
- Evaluate the internal personal struggles that make you want to quit.
- Cultivate consistent habits to help you progress toward your goals.
- Receive a fresh dose of perspective from the Bible that will help you develop perseverance.
You are not made to quit! Join Nicki as she identifies five habits to help you keep going no matter what struggles may come your way.
TIME
: 7:00PM every other Tuesday evening
WHERE
: Kimm Ebersole's house (email her for address or check the church directory if you don't have it already!)
DATES
: TUESDAYS 1/30, 2/13, 2/27, 3/13, 4/3, 4/17
