Women's Fellowship

Women's Fellowship is a teaching series in which the women learn from God's Word and enjoy biblical fellowship with one another. This year, we will be going through lessons centered around the theme, “Faith: Heart and Eyes Fixed on God.”

These lessons are meant to help women understand how to have a steadfast faith that is grounded in God. When we understand what faith is and where it comes from, we can have consistent hope and joy in our daily lives, grow in having faith in difficult circumstances, and treasure it for the precious gift that it is. Faith plays a vital role in our spiritual walk, so how can we become women who live confidently by faith?

Come join us once a month on Sundays at 11 AM after worship service for a sweet time learning together from God’s Word about having faith that is fully fixed on God!

For the Women’s Fellowship lesson “Faith Becomes Sight,” Jenn taught from Hebrews 11:13-15 where the women were encouraged to be futuristic people, foreign pilgrims, and faith-filled possessors.

The women were first exhorted to be “futuristic people,” that is, people who look forward eagerly to the future fulfillment of God’s promises. Jenn encouraged us to keep our minds centered on the promises of God throughout our day-to-day lives, meditating on them and being excited to see them fulfilled. She also pointed out that we can’t be confident in God’s promises if we don’t even know what they are! So, reading and knowing His Word is a necessary component of this step!

Then we were reminded of our heavenly citizenship as we learned about how to be “foreign pilgrims” in this world. There is no dual citizenship in the spiritual realm, so if we have been made citizens of God’s Kingdom by His grace, then that means we have chosen Christ over the comforts and pleasures of this world and need to be on guard against becoming too attached to this world. Our main focus on earth should be the few things that will continue into eternity—namely, our service rendered unto the Lord and the investment in the souls that we encounter.

Lastly, we were encouraged to be “faith-filled possessors,” akin to the saints of the Old Testament; they placed their trust in God’s promises despite never seeing them come to fruition in their lifetime. Now we are called to do the same—even when we cannot see the end in sight, we are to trust wholly that God will fulfill all His promises in His perfect timing, knowing that He will be true to all that He has said.

Praise God for a sweet and encouraging time in His Word! And as we traverse this world as foreign pilgrims, may we never stop looking ahead to the day when, by faith, we will be welcomed into the Kingdom of God as daughters of the Most High King.

How do we have faith during trials and tribulations? James 1:2-4 encourages us to have steadfast joy because the faith we have produces endurance and sanctification in trials. God uses trials to reveal the strength of our faith and our hope in Him. Join us at our next Women’s Fellowship lesson on “Tested and Proven” to have a right view of trials by having faith in Him!

The lesson will be streamed live on Sunday, May 12, 2024 at 11 AM PDT.
