Summer Bible Study
“Stepping Up by Beth Moore”
JoEllen Axthelm
A seven session bible study by Beth Moore will be starting Wednesday, June 28th at 6:30pm in the Parlor. Everyone is welcome.
“Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent – Bible Study Book by Beth Moore provides a personal study experience five days a week plus viewer guides for the group video sessions of this in-depth women’s Bible study of Psalms 120-134. Traveling pilgrims sang these psalms both on the way to the great festivals of the LORD and as key elements of the worship at those festivals. Just as a song or poem can express feelings of fear, doubt, hope, and joy, these 15 psalms model how we can voice our own petitions and praises to our God, who is always available and ready to hear us.”
“Explore the major feasts of Israel and journey with Beth through this 7-session study. Themes of unity, joy, gratitude, redemption, repentance, the power of blessings, facing ridicule, and more are explored in detail. Modern-day believers in Jesus Christ can learn much from these treasured Psalms in their journey toward greater intimacy with God.” — from Amazon
