By Carey Helmink I am in the process of reading Timothy Keller’s book, King’s Cross, a study of the life of Jesus through the eyes of Mark as told in his gospel. A few nights ago, I read the story of Jesus calming the storm and have not been able to get it out of my …
The Window of Friendship
They call themselves the Berean Babes and on Tuesday Morning they shared their story. Here's a sampling of what they had to say. Laura: Two years ago, an Equip Her class leader put five women together at a table and assigned them a table leader. That was how it all started . . . As …
Art: A Window to the Soul
As Shereen mentioned last week, we will be having the opportunity this semester to meet some of our women and learn how God speaks to them through a window in their souls. This week we had the privilege of meeting Jan Faris. Here are a few highlights of her interview with Shereen. Shereen: When did you begin …
Our Immutable God
By Carey Helmink As I began thinking and praying about our time together and what characteristic of God’s character I wanted to focus on, the word that kept coming to my mind was immutable. It’s possible that living with a seminary-trained pastor influenced that, but more likely it is the Lord’s sense of humor. He …
A Sure and Steadfast Hope
By Stacey Kuszak I talked with several women last week at the brunch and asked them how their Christmas was. The overwhelming response was "Iʼm glad itʼs over." Carey alluded to this last week, but we arrive in the New Year exhausted, donʼt we? What is it about the end of December that leaves us …
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff?
It's always good to be back to routine . . . especially when that routine includes Tuesday Morning Equip Her. The first Tuesday back is always very special, not only because of the beautiful decorations and the delicious food, but also the sweet chance to worship with all of you. I'm so thankful for Carey …
Four More Days!
Four more days until the winter semester of Equip Her Bible Studies begins again! Are you ready to come out of hibernation and join us? Granted, there's not much that will get me out of the house on these cold January days, but Tuesday Mornings at Berean is one of them. And though we can't promise …
Jesus Is King
By Renee Meyer Traditionally, on the fourth Sunday of Advent we consider that Jesus is King. Hark! the herald angels sing, 'Glory to the newborn King!' . . . Joy to The world! the Lord has come; Let earth receive her King . . . This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and …
A Savior is Born
A cross forms the backdrop for my nativity scene downstairs. There’s a reason for that. I don’t know about you, but I need a visual reminder—not just once, but many times during the holiday season—for the real reason we celebrate. Don’t get me wrong. I love Christmas. I love how the season starts with "thanks …
Winter Preview
Doesn't take much to get us thinking about winter these days. Simply step outside and you're there. But before we get distracted by the millions of things that will occupy our time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, let's take a moment and look at what's ahead for us on Tuesday Mornings next January. Unless you are already …
