Description
Sometimes our spiritual eyes could use a double shot of espresso. For women who refuse to sleepwalk through their faith, this Bible study equips you to live awake, alert, and confident in the hope of Christ’s return. It’s easy to live under the spell of the world—a world that competes for our affections, preys on insecurities, lulls us into comfortability, or keeps us spinning with busyness. Our gaze is constantly getting pulled from Jesus. In this six-week study, trusted Bible teacher Erin Davis walks women through 1 Thessalonians chapter by chapter, a little epistle waking us up to the reality of Jesus’ return. The apostle Paul understood our temptation to get spiritually sleepy. Five times in Paul’s short letter, he implores believers to stay awake. It’s a call to live alert to the beautiful hope and promise of Jesus’ return for His beloved Bride. And it’s a call to live ready by pursuing holy lives and actively sharing the gospel with others. In this study, women: • Discover the context for the book of 1 Thessalonians • Examine the main message of 1 Thessalonians • Explore the ways we get distracted, defeated, or discouraged • Uncover how to live with joy and purpose while waiting • Find courage to “stand fast” in a godless culture • Learn to pray like first century Christians • Discover the antidote to discouragement • Gain insight on how to face the return of Christ with wonder, not fear This study is for women who want to resist the temptation to be spiritually sleepy and stay awake to God’s kingdom plan. In this wonderful resource for individuals or small groups, women will discover a fresh longing for Christ’s return and clear insights on how to live well as we wait for that moment. Join Erin and discover how your days can be filled with anticipation, hope, and kingdom awareness.
