Do you need a study with no homework and the flexibility of “come as you can?” Are you new to Women’s Bible Study? We welcome you, no matter what your age or life stage. Each week features a stand-alone DVD Bible study taught by well-known Lifeway Bible teachers and dynamic speakers like…Beth Moore, Priscilla Schirer, Anne Graham Lotz, Lisa Welchel, Angela Thomas, Mary Kassian, and others. While we welcome drop-ins and new people to the class throughout the semester, we will work hard to deepen our relationships with God and each other. If your schedule prevents you from a weekly commitment, if you are unable to join us until after the semester begins, or if you want to plug in but don’t know where then this study is perfect for you.
Here and Now, There and Then Revelation Study

Teachers: Nancy Makowski, Cyndi Alioth & Gail Homburger
Level: All

How do we live in a world turned upside down? How do we survive and face the daily onslaught of life’s challenges? The answers are found in God’s Word. In this study, Beth will teach us who God is and who He is not. She’ll also help us to understand the figurative language and symbolism contained within the book of Revelation. Although Revelation is the final book of the Bible, we can’t look at it as a separate piece. Picture it as a long, long rope with 66 knots in it... all telling the same redemptive story. We’ll discover that Revelation is the sparkling, stunning, and astonishing finish to what began in Genesis.

In this study of Proverbs, Beth teaches about wisdom that comes from God alone—a wisdom that doesn’t reside in our heads, but in our hearts.
