Tuesday Morning Ladies’ Bible Study -
Fervent
by Priscilla Shirer
Begins on August 22 at 9:45am in W108 Leader: Claire Nix
You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in
Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t general or generic, not a one-size-fits-
all. It’s specific. Personalized. Targeted.
So this book is your chance to strike back. With prayer. With a weapon that really works. Each chapter will guide you in
crafting prayer strategies that hit the enemy where it hurts, letting him know you’re on to him and that you won’t back down.
Because with every new strategy you build, you’re turning the fiercest battles of life into precise strikes against him and his
handiwork, each one infused with the power of God’s Spirit.
Each chapter exposes the enemy’s cruel, crafty intentions in all kinds of areas. If then equips and encourages you to write out
your own personalized prayer strategies on tear-out sheets which you can then post and pray over yourself and your loved
ones on a regular basis.
Fervent
is a hands-on, knees-down, don’t-give-up action guide to practical, purposeful praying!

Wednesday Evening Ladies’ Book Club - Philippians by Kim Gibson/Sarah Lewis
Begins on August 23 at 6pm in W110 Leader: Debbie Henry
Philippians brims over with often quoted passages: “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus”
(Philippians 1:6), “To live is Christ and to die is gain” (1:21), and “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (4:13) are
just a few. But the portrait of Jesus Christ as a humble servant serves as the core of Paul’s teaching in this letter (2:5–11).
Paul’s joy at the mere thought of the Philippian church is undeniable in the letter, and it’s that same joy that he wanted the recip-
ients to possess as well. To lead the Philippians to this truth, Paul took them directly to Jesus, teaching them that a community of
believers living in harmony with one another comes only through mutual humility modeled after the Savior. Paul wrote that he
poured out his life as an offering for the sake of Christ, leading Paul to find great joy and contentment in Christ’s service. His letter
to the Philippians showed them that by centering their lives on Christ, they, too, might live in true joy.
