![]() ![]() But let’s pray first as we ask God to speak to us through the message this morning. This morning I want us to look at the practices of prayer, Bible study and fellowship and how important they are to your personal spiritual growth and to our growth as a church. ![]() With God’s help I commit to do the following this year:ġ) Worship one day weekly with my church family Ģ) Serve in one ministry capacity in my church family ģ) Cultivate one friendship with a non-believer for Christ Ĥ) Give one regular portion of my income for the work of the church ĥ) Participate in one regular small group setting for prayer, growth and fellowship. Let’s review the five commitments once more briefly: Remember, these five commitments are commitments for the year and hopefully will become lifelong habits for many of us after that. So today marks the end of the message series, but I pray that it’s just the beginning for these five commitments. Usually you get the application for a sermon after the sermon, but we got the application for this whole message series before the series ever began! We have been focusing on five commitments we can make that will strengthen us as a church. INTRODUCTION: Today’s message is the last one in our series on the Challenge and Power of One.

It is a six-session Bible study designed especially for single women. Patrice is excited about her new book release, Living My Best Life: Embracing God’s Gift of Living Full and Single. You can connect with Patrice on her blog, Warrior Woman Blog, on social media in her Facebook community, Warrior Women, and on Facebook and Instagram. When not serving at her local church with the small groups and singles' ministries, Patrice enjoys visiting local Orlando attractions, reading books while sitting along the beach, and finding unique ways to explore her writing creativity. As a Bible teacher and preacher, she exhorts women to remember their true identity is defined in Christ, not culture. She is an author, life coach, and worship leader who loves practicing the presence of God through a lifestyle anchored in spiritual disciplines.

It compels us to look with fresh eyes, drawing strength and inspiration from Scripture so we may remain in a grateful posture even when turmoil is present within or around us.īeing cognizant of God’s presence in every season of life inevitably results in thanksgiving, praise, and gratitude not impeded by the hardness and difficulty of life. This study causes us to introspectively reflect on how we live with gratitude. Who would have known there is so much to be thankful for and so many ways to express gratitude? This study is a great resource for women wanting to understand what it really means to belong.Īnn’s five-session study is remarkable and refreshing. Over six sessions, we are equipped to process hurt, deal with insecurities, and overcome loneliness that all stem from the sting of rejection. Lysa is transparent in speaking truth to women regarding the realities of rejection and how to live beyond them. One universal subject all women have or will face at one time or another in their life is rejection. We will understand the choice to accept unexpected plans as part of God’s divine purpose and God’s grace on display through us, as we yield to His will. Our view of interruptions is deconstructed and reconstructed in order to better recognize the sovereignty of God at work all around and within us. In her seven-session study, Priscilla narrates Jonah’s experience and builds an undeniable case of how it correlates with each of our lives today. Over the course of six sessions, ladies are empowered through the deliberate act of releasing what we cannot control in exchange for God’s power and peace, just as Jesus did when tempted by the devil.ĭespite the test and trials that are sure to come our way, Barb reminds us to take our cues from Jesus as we decide how to respond to the wilderness-like experiences of this world through our daily surrender to God. Relatable and relevant, this study draws upon wisdom principles from Jesus’ 40-day encounter in the wilderness. ![]()
