How’s Your Prayer Life?

 

Prayers and Promises. Sometimes it feels like our prayer life is stuck, or we are unable to pray.

But when the emergencies come, do you stand in fear or stand on the promises of God?

Prayer changes everything—and it is an important spiritual discipline. In this online Bible study, we’ll explore how the people of the Bible prayed. And what promises God made to them- and us too!

Because we live in a generation where prayer is essential to everyday life.

Prayers and Promises of the Bible

Learn how to talk with God, and to see His promises at work in your life.

INTRODUCING…

PRAYERS AND PROMISES ONLINE BIBLE STUDY

 

10-week study

Starts Jan. 9, 2023

CHANGE YOUR PRAYER LIFE.

God’s promises and our prayers make up the lifelong conversation between a believer and God. This study looks closely at about two hundred prayers and promises found in the Bible. You’ll learn what was going on and why when each prayer or promise was spoken.

You’ll also find a personal application for each prayer and promise, a way of making it relevant to the life you live.

Whether you’re new to the Bible, a long-time student of Scripture, or somewhere in between, you’ll appreciate the many ways this study goes far beyond your typical Bible study tool. The practical, relevant help on each page leads you to get the most out of God’s word.

Because you might need to let go of some things!

Course Description
Bible Cafe™ Study on the Book of Romans. Join the Bible Cafe™University in a posture of listening and learning. As we approach this powerful book packed with good news we discover solid truth. Let’s ask God to do a mighty work in us so we might be inspired with a spiritual renewal that spreads to those around us!

Find the good news that brings hope and spiritual renewal.

We live in a world full of bad news. The media recounts stories of natural disasters, violence, and conflict. In the midst of all this heartbreak, we can’t lose sight of the fact that God has given us good news. We call it the gospel. It reminds us that God loves us and longs to redeem our suffering. He stepped out of eternity and into time to send us His one and only Son. The gospel truths shared with the early church at Rome echo into our day, reminding us that we still have good news to embrace personally and to share with others. In this six-week study of the Book of Romans, we will be highlighting significant concepts regarding the good news about faith, grace, daily life, God’s plan, relationships, and eternity. Whatever bad news we may receive, in Romans we will find good news to encourage and transform us.

Fitting Room Bible Study by Kelly Minter

Fitting Room

When we let the Master Designer do the fitting, we learn to wear His virtues. Give yourself a character makeover and put on the virtues of His heart.

START COURSE

The Fitting Room: Putting on the Character of Christ

7 Week Online Bible Study

Get Course Access Today!

Online Bible study based on Biblical virtues. During this 7-week Bible Cafe study you will put on a new wardrobe: peace, kindness, forgiveness, humility, compassion, patience, and joy! When life challenges your virtues, learn to stand on solid ground.

There’s no daily homework. If you have time to read two chapters a week- this Bible study is just perfect for YOU.

Kelly Minter Bible Studies are rich with storytelling and application. She doesn’t spoon feed her readers. Kelly encourages us to dig deeper as she lays a foundation. In this study she delivers a strong message of forgiveness- something you don’t want to miss.

When you read books by Minter, you’ll feel like Kelly is sitting across the table from you. She’s well-known for her “Living Room” series which incorporates studying the Bible, practicing hospitality and cultivating friendships. At the Bible Cafe™ we carry a similar concept of togetherness. This book is lighter than other studies we’ve led, intentionally selected for your summer enjoyment.

We’ll have conversations around the character of the world and the virtues of Christ. You’ll agree- these are vastly different virtues!

Based on Colossians 3:12 we want to understand how to “clothe” ourselves in Christian virtues like forgiveness, joy, patience, compassion. For many this is a renewal of how we see ourselves in the reflection of Christ. Can we really “dress up” in His character?

Each week we’ll read two chapters from Kelly’s book and discuss these virtues. We’ll have additional content and Scripture verses to enhance your learning. You could curl up in a comfy chair with your iced coffee or sweet tea and enjoy the lessons here. It’s perfect for summer.

You don’t need a theology degree to understand this teaching material. It’s written for every woman, not seminary students. You might read a chapter a day, or two chapters a week, or the entire book on a weekend at the beach.

Kelly Minter says if we let the Master Designer do the fitting, we learn to wear His virtues. Kelly also shares simple, down-to-earth explanations of tricky concepts such as justification and sanctification—stitching it all together with humor and honesty. There are no gimmicks, no guilt trips.

As a result this is irresistible invitation for women to enjoy a spiritual makeover. Put on a life that’s personally tailored by the One who knows and loves you best.

For this Bible Cafe Study you will read and discuss two chapters each a week. These are easy and comfortable. Not complicated lessons. We want to help you to grow in faith and learn the character of Christ.

Required Workbook

The Fitting Room by Kelly Minter

Where to Find the Study Book

You’ll need a copy of the book “The Fitting Room: Putting on the Character of Christ” by Kelly Minter. Look for this at your local library or favorite bookstore. 

The book cover has changed since it was originally published. Either book is fine.

In The Fitting Room by Kelly Minter, you will find a balance between storytelling and Scripture. The author presents a message on virtues using personal application and experience. As a reader, you’ll then examine your own virtues. Finish the study with a new wardrobe: peace, kindness, forgiveness, humility, compassion, patience, and joy!
