Join with our community of ladies as we seek to grow closer to the Lord, through the study of His Word.
Current Study
We are commencing our studies with the subject of "The Fruit of the Spirit". This subject encompasses so much of how we ought to behave, think and grow on a daily basis. Each of the individual elements of this "fruit" will be studied. Our prayer should be that this study will enable us to grow in our relationship with the Lord - "....by their fruits ye shall know them" Matthew 7:20.
There are 9 characteristics listed for us, namely - love, joy peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. Now, some of these may be more obvious and evident in your life already. Some, you may only have a simple understanding of, and may not have thought of them in a deeper sense. But, one thing is for certain, we OUGHT to know and outlive them all! They should be the outworking of that work which the Holy Spirit HAS performed and IS performing in us
Read the main study post - then, after you have done you own studying, feel free to share what you have found in the "comments" section for that post. To do this you need to have a GOOGLE identity. Either you can create one (easily done), or send your comments to me to post for you. Please share your thoughts though, in whatever way suits - what you find may be a blessing and encouragement to someone else, and that is the aim of what we are doing!
Also, we have the facility to be able to have live chat! Apologies for the advertising, but that MAKES it free! Initially, may I suggest between 8pm and 9pm (BST) on Wednesday evenings? Any further times are open to suggestion - e-mail them to me and we can see what can be done. I understand the difficulty of the US being behind us, but we can make other arrangements for you?
My desire is that this "on-line" Bible study may be used to encourage each other as Christian ladies. I had thought it would be a lovely way to share the study of God's Word as family and friends. We will have the opportunity to comment on each Bible Study and this will be like a "discussion time" for us. Often others think of things that we may not have considered before, and this is such a nice way to share these thoughts.
This will be an area where we can share prayer items. If you e-mail them to me, I can post them on the Blog. I can up-date the post with the above title, whenever they are received.
Pray for me as I seek to bring this study to you all - pray that God will guide me and use this study for His glory alone.
