Women's Bible Study

As you may have read in the email, Lindsey Crawford will be leading a Bible study for women on Sunday nights beginning March 4th at 5:30pm. If you did not receive the email, please let me know at calvarywomen@gmail.com so I can add you to the list! We don't want you to miss a thing!! Below are the details of the Bible study:


Sister Friends,
I am so excited about the possibility of spending time with you in a couple of weeks.  The purpose of our coming together will be to learn more about prayer and to actually put into practice the things in which we learn.  I wanted to personally invite you to join with me on this journey.  Below, you will find a tentative format of what our four weeks will look like.  Start praying about your involvement now.  And be prepared for the enemy to pull out his "big guns."  He hates prayer more than anything because he knows it is our biggest and strongest weapon against him.  Don't you find it interesting that some of us so quickly turn our noses up at the thought of doing a study on prayer, me included?  We assume it will be boring.  And honestly, what more could we learn on the subject?!  How strategic our enemy is!  Try your best to join us as we come together in the name of Jesus.  He has much for us to learn, but most importantly, He delights in sharing His presence with us as we pray for and encourage one another as sisters in Christ.  I sure hope to see you there.  We start Sunday, March 4, at 5:30 p.m.
Learning To Be The Light,
Lindsey Crawford
 
Initially, we will discuss what the Bible says about the following:
1.  Why pray?
2.  What is prayer?
3.  What is prayerlessness?
4.  Why Don't We Get Our Prayers Answered?

While learning about prayer and through the actual act of praying, we will focus on the following areas: 
Week 1 - Confession, Praise, Waiting
Week 2 - The Word, Intercession/Supplication, Petition
Week 3 - Thanksgiving, Singing, Meditation
Week 4 - Listening, Psalms, Praise
