We can’t believe it’s already almost May! Can you? Warmer, summer days are just ahead, and it’s time for us to announce—you guessed it—our next online Bible study! This summer, we’ll be studying TruthFilled by Ruth Chou Simons starting June 10, 2021!
Many of us want God’s Word to dwell richly in us, but life can get in the way.
We’d never intentionally write chapters of confusion, failure, loss, pain, conflict, or suffering into our stories. No one plans to wrestle with her identity in Christ, to struggle to love her husband, to feel lonely in ministry, or to feel helpless in motherhood. Yet we often find ourselves in these seasons, struggling to embrace the gospel hope we need to fill our discouraged souls.
Join Ruth Chou Simons in this 7-session study of the Book of Colossians as she leads us through a practice of preaching gospel truth to ourselves by studying Paul’s example. In every changing season of life, we can rest in God’s character, rehearse our identity in Christ, respond in faith, and remember God’s provision for us. In today’s culture, there’s no shortage of self help, easy fixes, and worldly advice, but only the truth of God’s Word was meant to fill you up and satisfy you fully.

We’ll study together on our online Bible study website: onlinestudy.lifeway.com.

And, you’ll be the first one to know about future online Bible studies.
