Fall 2023 Amos- An Invitation to the Good Life
by Jennifer Rothschild

Wednesdays 6:30 - 8pm Event Center
Schedule

Often, God will use ordinary people to fulfill His extraordinary purpose. God chose Amos to stand against the materialism, injustices, and idolatry that characterized the Samaria of his day. On the surface, his prophecy doesn’t sound like a happy formula for the good life. However, every condemnation he gives serves as an invitation, a cry for us to “seek God and live” (Amos 5:4). You’re invited to live assured, faithful, chosen, humble, justly, prayerful, and hopeful.

Amos is promoting the God life, and the God life is the good life!

Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray. 

In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

STUDY DESCRIPTION
Objective: Encouraging women to daily read or listen to the chapter of the week and meditate on it.

Plan to talk with friends about what you read…text, phone, on a walk, in the car, in person, on social media, whatever will work for you!   

Why? Because we want to encourage you in personal Bible reading, meditation time and learn skills that give you Bible reading confidence. These skills can enrich learning in your Bible study classes, small group time, and looking up verses Pastor and other Bible teachers use in their messages.
