GOD OF DELIVERANCE - A Study of Exodus 1-18 by Jen Wilkin
Mondays, beginning Jan 10 | 7:30 pm | Virtual
Thursdays, beginning Jan 13 | 6:30am | Virtual
“Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.” Exodus 1:8
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.

HE'S WHERE THE JOY IS by Tara-Leigh Cobble
Wednesdays, beginning Jan 12 | 9:30-11:30am | Bldg B
Wednesdays, beginning Jan 12 | 7-9pm | Bldg B
It's hard to know a God we don't understand, and it's hard to love a God we don't know. But our God wants to be known and loved, and He’s told us a lot about Himself in the pages of His Word.
This 7-session study breaks down the intimidating doctrine of the Trinity. You'll discover a beautiful, foundational view of our Triune God that will transform how you relate to Him. Understanding God's three-in-oneness and each of the Persons of God individually—Father, Son, and Spirit—will lead you to deeper intimacy with God and greater joy in knowing Him!

ANXIOUS by Scarlet Hiltibidal
Wednesdays, beginning Jan 12 | 9:30-11:30am | Bldg B
Wednesdays, beginning Jan 12 | 7-9pm | Bldg B
We live in a broken, sad, scary place. We don’t need to watch the natural disasters and political unrest in the news to know what our bodies already know. Our bodies get sick. Our minds are fragile. The mortality rate for humans is astonishingly high. There’s plenty to worry about, and the world is full of faulty solutions for our anxieties.
But true peace comes when we learn to hold God’s Word up to what worries us. There, we learn we can’t fix ourselves; we can’t protect ourselves. Instead, the Bible tells us we can rest, knowing that Jesus walked into the broken, sad, scary places to rescue us and love us. He is the One who fixes. His is the only protection that matters.
In this 8-session study we'll learn how we can practically take hold of the perfect peace that is only available through God as we dive deeply into His Word, embrace the practice of prayer, and live authentically in the support of our communities of faith.

ISAIAH, PART 2 – Precept

Join us as we look at the second half of Isaiah, chapters 40-66. The Lord told Isaiah to speak kind words to Israel. He wanted to comfort His people with His words. After their punishment for sins, there will be great restoration for them. This study will give you a taste of the world's future. No Bible study experience is needed.

2 THESSALONIANS – Precept
Thursdays, beginning May 5; 10-11:30am | B-211
Don't be confused about "the Day of the Lord." The Thessalonians were interested in the end times, just as we are today. But they were confused until they received this letter from Paul. Include this book in your study of prophecy to fully understand what God says about the last days. No Bible study experience is needed.

DISCIPLE-MAKING GROUPS (D-GROUPS)
If you want to go deeper in your faith, consider that the way to grow is to “go.” “Go and make disciples” (Matthew 28: 18-20). We believe that every Christ-follower has the potential to do this!
What Does it Look Like?
Disciple-making groups (D-Groups) train and equip followers of Jesus to multiply their life and make a spiritual difference. Women’s D-Groups are small on purpose (4-6 women) and designed to be relational and practical. The curriculum integrates the study of God’s Word and theology to help you live out what you believe. It will deepen your understanding of who God is and what following Him looks like.
Level of Commitment
Disciple-making groups provide a unique environment for spiritual growth at Austin Ridge. These groups require a high level of commitment as your group meets consistently for 9 to 12 months. If you’re interested, you can sign up HERE. If you have questions, email us at swwomen@austinridge.org.
