Becoming Heart Sisters

 

I am so excited to announce our newest Bible study at Heart to Heart, Becoming Heart Sisters, by Natalie Chambers Snapp, beginning May 1, 2017. This is going to be awesome!

 

 

God created us to be relational beings with an innate need for human connections. We grow spiritually and develop Christ-like character through our interactions within the body of Christ. In our busy lives, however, we often sacrifice quality friendships and settle for nothing more than a surface level substitute through social media or withdraw into a proverbial shell. This leaves many of us lonely and unfulfilled, and we fall short of God’s best for us.

“Heart sisters truly are a ‘good and perfect gift … from the Father’ (James 1:17 NIV), and He wants to bless each and every one of us with this gift. Whether you are longing to have authentic friendships of your own, struggling to balance friendship with everyday life, navigating a hurt or conflict with a friend, or simply wanting to enrich or deepen existing relationships with other women, this study will lead you in a deep exploration of timeless truths in the Old and New Testaments that will help you to develop the kind of enriching and satisfying friendships that build up the body of Christ and bring honor to God.” ~Natalie Chambers Snapp

This will be a six-week study exploring these topics:

  1. Why Do We Need Girlfriends and Where Do We Find Them? Understanding Our Need for Friendship with Other Women (Lessons from Genesis, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 2 Samuel, Proverbs, Matthew, Luke, John)
  2. Getting Right with God: Addressing Spiritual Issues that Affect Friendship (Lessons from Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Joshua, 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Obadiah, John, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, 2 Timothy, James, 1 Peter, 1 John)
  3. Clash of the Titans: Honoring God Through Relational Conflict (Lessons from Genesis, Leviticus, 2 Chronicles, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, 2 Timothy, James, 1 Peter, 1 John)
  4. The Forgiveness Business: Letting Go and Being Free (Lessons from Genesis, Lamentations, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, Psalms, Isaiah, Matthew, Luke, John, Romans, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 1 John, Revelation)
  5. Blurred Lines: Establishing Healthy Boundaries (Lessons from 2 Samuel, Psalms, Proverbs, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, 2 Timothy, James)
  6. Heart Sisters Do’s and Don’ts: Putting It All into Practice (Lessons from Deuteronomy, Joshua, 1 Samuel, 2 Kings, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Matthew, Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, Hebrews, James)
