Women's Bible Studies

Mondays

Beloved Early Birds • 5:30am • Two Locations: Westerville (Contact Gretchen Tishler, 614.560.7560), Sunbury (Contact Erica Maxeiner, 614-403.4756)
You will get as much out of this group as you are putting into it. You want accountability? Ask for it. You want to get deep into God's word? It’s up to you. In your quiet times with God what is he telling your heart? In this short 1 hour, weekly study we get right to the heart of it. The passion from this group comes from these verses:
“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” Mark 1:35.
“The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary."
"He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears, and I have not been rebellious; I have not drawn back.” Isaiah 50:4-5
"Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well."
