Katie Kafka, one of our teachers, shared this meaningful message with us at our Women's Christmas event on December 6th. We hope it sparks joy for you as it did for all of us in the room. Oftentimes, we celebrate Christmas with moments of merriment: with holly-jolly and oh-what-fun. I can hear the Charlie Brown …

Prepare Him Room
In our Bible studies this Fall we looked at the bigger story that all of scripture is telling. It’s an epic tale of God’s plan to redeem his people who have been held captive by sin. God prepared a place and a time for His own Son to enter the story, to be our Redeemer. …
What is God’s Kingdom?
Throughout our study this session - From Beginning to Forever: A Study of the Grand Narrative of Scripture - we have been completing a chart on the Status of the Kingdom. The definition of God’s Kingdom is God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule and blessing. We saw that in the beginning God created …
Jesus with Women
How Jesus interacted with women during his time here on earth tells us a lot about God’s view of women. Actually, woman’s role in God’s salvation story was set way back in the Garden of Eden when God told Eve her offspring would someday crush the head of the serpent. The Son of God would …
Image Bearers of God
This week in the Biblical Portrait of Women class, we looked at three women created to be image bearers of God. None of them were perfect, but each, through their determination to put their trust in God, taught us something about the nature of our Creator. After the fall of mankind in the garden, God …

When my church congregation would sing the old hymn Come Thou Fount when I was a kid, I was always puzzled by the line "Here I raise my Ebenezer." What in the world was an Ebenezer? My only form of reference was Ebenezer Scrooge and somehow it didn't seem right to be raising up a …
Feet Like a Deer
What does it look like to wait quietly for something? Not just wait, but wait quietly? Is that our go-to activity when faced with disaster? I know how to wait NOT quietly. I’m really good at that. But what does a quiet wait look like? Habakkuk begins his vow to wait quietly on God with …
Divine Deliverer
By Katie Kafka This week in our lesson, through the prayers of a prophet, our focus was turned toward God as the Divine Deliverer. We are in the middle of Habakkuk‘s third and final prayer of the book. Along the way we have come to see the prophet as a man of prayer, and, my, …
Remember God’s Faithfulness
By Ashley Synowicki Habakkuk continued his prayerful response of praise to God this week as we continued on in Chapter 3. However, he shifted his focus just slightly. In verses 8-11 he is no longer talking about God, but talking directly to Him. Habakkuk is recounting, both to God and himself, the miraculous ways in …
