Bible Studies for MOPS @ Crossroads

Ladies, we have some ongoing Bible studies as well as upcoming ones. I just wanted to highlight them here.

  • New Beginnings is a 7-week study designed for people who have just recently committed their lives to Christ, Christians who want to grow in their faith, or people who are just curious about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and want to know more. It takes a straightforward look at the foundational topics of Salvation, Assurance, Lordship, the Bible, Prayer, the Holy Spirit's Indwelling, and Witness. This study will help you understand what it means to commit your life to Christ, have a real relationship with Him, and be sure of spending eternity in heaven with Him. This meets at Kristen Cronin's house currently.
  • Tuesday morning Bible Study - Genie Gore. We have free child care and it goes from 9:00-10:30 every Tuesday. We meet in the youth building at Crossroads, refreshments, too! We need people to sign up so we can have the child care provided- it is limited. Currently studying the book entitled,” Anxious for Nothing”, by John MacArthur. It is a powerful little book that focuses our heart and mind on God and His word, not the circumstances around us. In this day and time, it is a study that can help us not be anxious and fearful about the events in the world around us or even the events in our own family. One quote about the book that I really like is: ” Grounded in the scriptures, John MacArthur reminds us that God understands our struggles and has equipped us with resources to not only face, but also to truly triumph over our anxieties.”
If you have questions, let us know! If you have suggestions, too, let us know!
