The world has never been more distracting—joy has never been more possible!

It’s easy to drift off-course but in this study we will discover how to get back on track and live life with real purpose and joy. We can be identifying our own distractions and then move toward either eliminating them or decreasing them. Instead of drifting aimlessly from one season to the next we will fix our eyes of Jesus and find joy in our circumstances. Having the book is encouraged but not required

Five strong-willed women from Genesis show us how abundantly God loves his daughters, flaws and all. These women were far from evil but hardly perfect. Mostly good, yet slightly bad.

"What the Women Saw", Thursdays 10-11:30am, Braselton, led by Jessica Jones, WOMEN'S Group
Do women matter to the kingdom of God? Jesus was surrounded by both men and women during his ministry on earth. He saw, valued, and cared for women, and he still does today. Each one of us has a significant role. Through this six-session study, you will discover who Jesus is through the unique perspective of women in the Bible. As you study the lives of Mary, Martha, Mary Magdalene and others, you will learn from their faith and failures and be reminded that Jesus cared for and valued the women he was surrounded by. He equipped them, listened to them, walked with them, healed them, and empowered them. And he does the same for you now.

Together, with Matt Chandler, we will walk through the words of King David who experienced similar seasons of life. Serving as the anchor for the study, Psalm 119 demonstrates the power of God's Word in the lives of believers and its ability to provide a warm blanket for the soul.
