Learn what Scripture says about our stewardship responsibilities, and learn how to be a better steward of what God has entrusted with you!

We'll cover all of the world's major religions and the cults and we'll do it in a way that's both fun and educational. The class will cover the range from Islam to Buddism, from Mormonism to Jehovah Witness and Unitarianism. Through developing a good understanding of the other faiths and religious cults we become better equipped to understand the lost around us and develop non-confrontational approaches to reaching them for Christ.

Participants come away understanding their own faith and doctrine better and are more comfortable sharing their faith with the lost, regardless of their religious affiliations. Given the times we're living in today knowing more about the other religious groups and those who say they follow God or Christ but do not will prove very valuable as we continue to take the gospel into world.

Join Beth in an in-depth and very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance. She peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to our lives. If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, it's tough today. This portion of God's Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives.

There will be nine weeks of personal interactive study five days a week plus viewer guides for the group video sessions.

Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate by Jerry Bridges

Have Christians become so preoccupied with the 'major sins' of our society that we have lost sight of our need to deal with our more subtle sins? Have we created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably exist within the church? In short, some sins have simply become acceptable. Jerry Bridges returns to his trademark theme of holiness and addresses a dozen clusters of these 'acceptable' sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves – such as jealousy, anger, pride, unthankfulness, and judgmentalism. Bridges writes not from a sense of achievement, but from the trenches of his own personal battles. Drawing from scriptural truth, he sheds light on subtle behaviors that can derail our spiritual growth. Throughout, Jerry encourages a victory over personal sin through the gospel's transforming power, the perfect release for those who desire to thoughtfully examine their lives and discover a deeper walk with God.

The paperback book and study guide can be ordered from Christianbook.com for $16.99. The book and study guide provides 8-weeks of study into this challenging topic. We meet each Tuesday at Thea Kane’s house, 2749 Quincy Adams Drive. For more information, contact Edith Yarbrough at 703-709-5777 or edithyarb@gmail.com.
