Bible studies – Life in Grace Ministries

Are Your Ducks in a Row?

Is your life organized, disorganized, or someplace in-between? Does the Bible address our organization? Does our ability to carry out a plan affect us and the people around us? Are you too lax or too controlling and panicky? This workshop address all this and more. Line up your ducks and enjoy this fun workshop!

Your Identity in Christ

Who are you? You are a child of the Most High, Precious in his sight, Redeemed. What does this mean to you? What does it mean in your daily activities?

"So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation..." 2 Corinthians 5:17 You are special, and you are in the world but not of the world. God has called you out to be his own. Rejoice that your name is written in the book of the Lamb.

Glitter, Glam & the Great I AM

Step out of your everyday routine and rediscover the beauty of being made in God's image and reflecting that image! Have you considered the spiritual accessories of the wardrobe of Christianity or meditated on how we clothe ourselves in humility, salvation, peace and loveliness? This workshop looks at theChristian closets of our souls and considers, not only what needs to go (because it is SO last year!), but what new wardrobe and accessories we can add to our spiritual closets.

"Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us." Psalm 90:17

Treasure in Clay Jars

We are earthen vessels. We are fragile but the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the treasure inside of us that strengthens us and empowers us. "But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us." 2 Corinthians 4:7

This workshop talks about our being fragile earthen vessels. Weak though we may be, there is a wonderful treasure, the very gospel of Jesus Christ that resides in each one of us. That gift, that treasure, is empowering! Recognize and be strengthened by the power of the gospel in you!

Renew Your Strength!

"Run and not grow weary...walk and not be faint." ( Isaiah 40:31)
"Come to me all you are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

Are you tired of being tired? Are you weary from the economy and politics and bad news? Jesus says, "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:30)

Do you find rest in Jesus Christ? Enjoy this peaceful, uplifting workshop. Learn to find rest and have renewed strength in the Lord!!

Love God, Love Neighbor, Love Self

Matthew 22:37-39 "He said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself'."

How can we love our neighbor if we don't first love ourselves? How can we love ourselves if we don't first love God? How can we show love to our neighbor? What does it mean to love self? Explore the possibilities of living in love and loving outward.

Get Your Colors Out of the Box

This Bible study is designed to help us find gifts that God has given us in the form of our talents. It's based around crayons and is really a fun workshop. Sometimes we have trouble seeing our talents; sometimes we have trouble using our talents. A box full on crayons can't express a child's joy unless those colors are taken out of the box and used. It is the same with our gifts and talents. If we don't take them out and use them, we can't express the joy and abilities of God. God has blessed each of us in unique ways so that we can be a blessing to others. So be ready to Get Your Colors Out of the Box and Color the Sky!

De-Stress

What does God say about stress? Can you change how you handle stressful situations?

In this workshop you will find useful tools to deal more effectively with the stress in your life. Let the Word help sooth your soul and rekindle your spirit of peace. This gathering may consist of only a Bible Study or may also include a worship service, and activities to help you let go of your stressors

Waiting on God

We all have times of Waiting on God. How we wait may be just as important as the actual waiting. This study will focus on the benefits of waiting of God and what we can do while we wait. Living in limbo is difficult, especially if you're a planner or a control freak. Learn how to wait productively and receive the benefits of waiting. You might even find that you can enjoy your time of waiting instead of dreading it and fretting about it. Wouldn't that be a blessing? How can we love our neighbor if we don't first love ourselves? How can we love ourselves if we don't first love God? How can we show love to our neighbor? What does it mean to love self? Explore the possibilities of living in love and loving outward.

In Progress

The smallest move of a kaleidoscope completely changes the view. And, once changed an image can not be recaptured. Like a kaleidoscope, our growth in Christ is a dynamic experience. Even if we revert back to our old selves, we are not the some person we were before our hearts were touched and shaped by Jesus Christ. We can remain stagnant in our Spiritual maturity or we can leap out in faith and enjoy the ride. Developing a closer relationship with Christ takes time and effort. We are all "IP," works IN PROGRESS! Enjoy this Bible study of encouragement and examine what God has called us to be, why we haven't yet arrived and why we can press forward to what lies ahead in our ever-changing lives.

Experiencing God While You're on the Run

Busy? Are you making time for God? How can you make more time for God during your day? Learn how to steal quiet moments with the Lord and appreciate the life changing relationship that Christ wants to have with you.

SIMPLICITY

What is ONE thing that can simplify your life? Keeping the ONE thing the ONE thing! Keep It Simple, Sister (or Brother!) This workshop focuses on Keeping the important thing important, what the important thing (IT) is, and how to keep it simple.

Super Woman, Superior God

How are your super powers? Are you keeping up? Getting it all done? Sometimes we all need to stop and remember that we are NOT God. We are NOT supposed to be God. God is God. He is Superior in every way. It's okay for us to be human. We don't even have to be a super-human. God is God and he made us, we are creatures, and we are flawed and far from perfect. You don't have to be so super, when your Lord is Superior! Shew!

More Than Conquerors!

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:37 Nothing can separate us from God's love. Life comes against us, God is there. Satan attacks us, God is there. Nothing separates us from God or from his love. Therefore we are MORE than Conquerors!
