The Book of Daniel
MONDAY EVENINGS OR THURSDAY MORNINGS
Have you ever wondered how to make sense of the numerous, often-confusing prophetic passages in God’s Word? Did you know that the best place to start is the book of Daniel? Therein, God reveals the timeline on which all other bible prophecy rests, providing clarity and understanding of the entirety of God’s prophetic Word: past, present, and future?
Women, if this describes you, plan to join the study of Daniel, developed from commentaries by Dr. John Walvoord, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. David Jeremiah, and Dr Renald Showers, with Shower’s book “The Most High God” as the main text.

CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS
Steadfast: A Devotional Bible Study on the book of James By Courtney Doctor
TUESDAY AFTERNOONS
Faithfulness regardless of our circumstances. That’s what it means to be steadfast. However, in a world where so much can undermine our faith, steadfastness is often a rare and elusive trait. James longs for his readers to be steadfast. His letter meets us in our suffering and sickness, our trials and temptations, our wealth and poverty, our ups and downs. He confronts our sin, our speech, and our pride. He encourages believers to have a more resilient and concrete faith: not just to hear the word, but to do it. He calls us to persevere in truth in a world of lies, to see that God’s steadfast love is ultimately the source of our steadfast faith. This 8–week study of James provides 5 days of study each week—observing, interpreting, and applying the text plus teaching videos from the Gospel Coalition’s 2020 Women’s Conference.
Led by Donna Osenga
8 weeks, beginning March 19, 2:30 – 4:30 PM
Location: Gale Tomlinson’s house, Crista Ann Court, Bloomington
