Women's Bible Studies

We are excited to kick off another set of Women's Bible Studies. Join other women and experience powerful lessons in your journey of faith.

See details below to get connected.

Jesus and Women

Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth - braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, “Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you.”

Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you.

Over 7 sessions, we will examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel your worship of Him today.

Dates:  September 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th; October 6th and 13th
Time:  10:00-11:30 a.m.
Location:  Carmel Presbyterian Church

Jesus Over Everything

In Jesus Over Everything, Bible teacher Lisa Whittle gives practical language for our universal difficulties, offering hope and direction for the future.

We all want to live simpler lives and to put Jesus first – and we struggle with both. While we are busy strategizing new ways to streamline our calendars and clean out our closets of the clutter, what really needs attention is what will give us long-term clarity and peace — the priority order of Jesus over everything in our lives.

In Jesus Over Everything, Lisa shares eight statements of choice to help us grow in our understanding of what it means to put Jesus first amid the craziness of our days. Discover the joy of choosing:
 

• Commitment over mood • Real over pretty • Steady over hype • Holiness over freedom • Service over spotlight • and more

Woman of Valor​

​

Did you know that the famed Proverbs 31 woman was more than just a "virtuous woman"? In Hebrew, she is called a woman of valor. And if you think the Bible paints women as "less than," better look again.

There are powerful portrayals of women right in the pages of Scripture - courageous women who fought wars, foiled genocidal plots, and raised world-changing kids.

Like these women, you were designed by God to bravely and faithfully give life to the world around you. More than just a virtuous woman, you were created to be a woman of valor.

I Know His Name​

​

•  Realize their infinite worth as they explore the nature of the God who created and formed them.

•  Live with bold assurance that their God is a personal God who sees them, hears them, and knows them by name.

•  Walk confidently in knowing both who they are and Whose they are.

•  Arm themselves with seven tools to pray more confidently and effectively in any situation or circumstance.

•  Transform their walk with Jesus as they discover how He fulfills the Old Testament names of God.
