In this eight-lesson Bible study, dive into the story of Hosea, A story of difficulty, rejection, and time that will give you a new perspective of the relentless love story of God for His people. The Old Testament book of Hosea cannot be defined as predictable. This complex and confounding account of a prophet and a prostitute comes alive in God's Relentless Love. Hosea and Gomer's unusual love story will guide you to the truth of God's unfailing love for you.

The concept of "having enough" is one that is not often experienced. If I only had more money . . . more success . . . more time . . . then I would be fulfilled. Yet even when more is attained, it rarely satisfies. It is not "enough."An eight-lesson women's Bible study, Enough for Now explores the idea of "enough" through the study of Scripture-specifically the parable of the rich fool, personal stories, and practical exercises. Over the course of the lessons, women will discover how to escape the insatiable quest for more by finding their "enough" in God.

Waiting can be agony. In our culture where almost everything is instant, we are accustomed to getting what we want now. So when our lives are put in a holding pattern, we squirm. But what if the waiting rooms of life are God's best classrooms? What if the Holy Spirit changes us through the uncomfortable delays of life? Waiting: A Bible Study on Patience, Hope, and Trust focuses on the lives of eight biblical women who waited and yearned and ached. The study highlights principles that make these times more bearable, and maybe more meaningful, even if it feels like God isn't present or there's nothing we can do. Learn how to surrender your worries to God, handle the daily-ness of waiting, and draw closer to Jesus. Discussion questions are included, as are Bible study exercises for group studies or individual reflection.

How does God measure success?In the Bible, you'll find no lack of sinfulness, shortcomings, rejections, and broken people. People like Joseph, Rahab, David, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, The Samaritan Woman, Peter, and Paul. Yet, we don't think of these people as failures. Rather, we see them as people God transformed, turning their lack into faithfulness for His good.Study these eight biblical figures to see that God does the same for you. He takes what you or society perceives as failure and transforms you for His plan. God does not judge based on earthly standards. No blunder is too big for him. No mess-up is beyond repair. His goodness goes beyond and turns your missteps into miracles.
