You will need to be willing to do some personal study prior to meeting, to prepare you to participate in our discussion. Our goal is to learn together how to study God’s Word in a meaningful way. The only way is to dig in yourself! You will have a study guide to help with this.
Read, Comprehend, Interpret, Apply
Together we will dig into the Word of God in a systematic way, discovering who He is and what that means for me.
“Study this book of instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed and in all you do.”
Joshua 1:8
What to Expect
Personal Study
Discussion
A leader will facilitate discussion questions. This is a time of active engagement and participation from everyone. Do not be afraid to jump in and ask the hard questions. Together we want to unpack God’s Word so that we can get to know who God is and what the implications for our faith walk is.
Prayer
Prayer is a cornerstone of our faith walk. Start to cover your life in prayer – as you study God’s Word, as you serve and love your family and others, as you engage in discussion when we meet. Every week we will make time to pray together.
Teaching
Every week there will be a teaching or exhortation on the current topic of study. This will be presented by one of our Women’s Ministry leaders, or sometimes one of our Pastors. In some cases we will use the teaching DVD from the writer of the curriculum itself.

“Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered you.” —Exodus 18:10
With that introduction, we enter into the story of the Hebrew people in the Book of Exodus. No longer under the protection of their forefather Joseph, the children of Israel became slaves to the Egyptians. But God was raising up a deliverer in Moses, to lead His people from bondage to freedom so they could worship Him. The exodus of the Israelites shapes our understanding of the whole Bible, its themes reverberating all the way to Revelation. Exodus is the birth narrative of a nation unmistakably guided by the Great Deliverer.
In this 10-session verse-by-verse study of Exodus 1–18, Jen Wilkin shows us that Israel’s story is our story: the same God who delivered Israel also delivers all those He loves from slavery to sin and from service to the pharaohs of this world. He lifts our eyes to the promised land He has prepared where we dwell with I AM and worship Him as the one true God.
