Women's spring bible studies
Fellowship Women's Bible Studies are selected to meet you where you are in your spiritual journey. We have provided categories to help you choose the studies that are right for you. Remember to start everything with the destination in mind. Our collective purpose is to go and make disciples. Just as with the original twelve, growing in intimacy with Christ is meant for our good but his glory. As you review study options, consider this pathway for growing in your knowledge of the Word, deepening your relationship with the Lord, and walking out the path of discipleship. Registration opens March 10. Spring studies will meet Tuesday April 2nd – Thursday, May 22nd. All Studies are $20 with the exception of Discipleship Phase I and Weary/ Psalm 23.

You don't have to be a new believer to start here. Understanding the gospel and the greater narrative of scripture is foundational for every believer. We never move past the gospel because it is the lens through which we understand a compelling relationship with God.

In Rediscovering Israel, you will experience the living God and His Word as never before! Bestselling author and professor Kristi McLelland invites you to explore the biblical narrative in the historical, cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts in which it was written. As you do so, you will:
- experience Scripture as a timeless, transformational Story demonstrating God’s love and faithfulness
- string the biblical pearls to encounter the Bible as one cohesive storyline, rather than a book of stand-alone accounts
- celebrate the richness of Scripture while discovering unique cultural idioms and customs
- share in the joys, curiosities, and insights gained through Kristi’s adventures in Israel
Study
Being a follower of Christ means growing in gospel literacy. Take time to study individual books and/or concepts and always seek to learn more about the heart of God. What you learn will clarify his redemptive story.
Oracles of God - Community-based Bible Study
Tuesday AM - 9:00AM - 10:15AM (Debbie Currie)
Northside Church - 2571 N Highland Ave, Jackson, TN 38305
Oracles of God is a chronological study of God’s Word led by Debbie Currie for the last 34 years. This community-based Bible study will help you to understand the story of God’s Word as Debbie walks through scripture verse by verse. This study meets weekly throughout the year at Northside Church.
Armor of God - Priscilla Shirer
Wednesday AM - 9:30AM - 11:00AM (Michelle Just)
Wednesday PM – 6:30-8:00 PM (Kim Mayer and Lolly Eldridge)
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny.
But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.
The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
John - Life in His Name - Kyle Idleman
Wednesday AM - 9:30AM - 11:00AM (Kalee Stedman and Emily Kalinowski) OFF-SITE
Wednesday PM – 6:30PM – 8:00 PM (Kim Wuestefeld and Sara Sherer)
WHERE DO YOU PUT YOUR TRUST? We all believe in something. We all put our faith in what we trust will sustain us and help us move ahead. For some of us, that might be a relationship or a job. For others, it could be an education, a financial portfolio, or a political platform. But the disciple John, in his Gospel, invites us to put our belief in something much more secure. As he states, “These things [in my Gospel] are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31).
In this six-session video Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman reveals that John didn’t write his Gospel just to tell us about a profound teacher or a powerful miracle worker. Rather, his purpose was to tell us about the very Son of God who came to this earth so that we “may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). John challenges us to trust in Christ—and to demonstrate our faith in him through the way we live and love others.
The 40 Days Through the Book series helps you actively engage with God’s Word. Each study encourages you to read through a book of the Bible at least once during the course of the study. As you do, you will gain an understanding of the background and culture of the book, insights into key passages that you might have overlooked before, and clear takeaways that you can apply today to your life.
Rest for Weary Souls: An Inductive Study on Psalm 23 by Sophron Studies
Wednesday AM - 9:30AM - 11:30AM (Pam Ramsey & Tina Elacqua)
What keeps us from finding rest for our restless souls? We live in a broken world filled with loss, fractured relationships, dashed dreams, sin, and daily hardship. Trials, testing and temptations will be plentiful in this life. What keeps us from finding the rest we crave? We have all we need for the rest and peace we crave as we journey our paths, which begin and end with Jesus. In Christ alone, our weary souls can find their rest and satisfaction.
Psalm 23 is a 5-week comprehensive study and it beautifully illustrates the Christian life as a journey led by the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls. God promises us that we will lack nothing for this journey because He promises us Himself. He is present and active in our lives even when we are called to walk through deep dark valleys. Though filled with danger, our journeys can be filled with hope. God works redemptively in the lives of His children.
This 5-week inductive Bible study of the 23rd Psalm is intended to focus your gaze upon the beauty of the Lord along with His tender care and mercy towards those He loves and leads. God is writing your story and Jesus Christ is your Chief Shepherd. Come and get to know your Shepherd more intimately as you trust in His promises to walk alongside of you.
All Things New - Kelly Minter
Wednesday PM - 6:30PM - 8:00PM (Leigh Smith and Abby Kartzinel)
The city of ancient Corinth was much like our own modern-day cities: a melting pot of electrifying cultural experiences to be had, along with the myriad pitfalls of spiritual depravity. Still, Paul wrote to the church of God in Corinth. Meaning God’s church is meant to thrive in any city and every circumstance in which we find ourselves. Paul’s letter is as timely as ever.
Over 8 sessions, Kelly Minter will lead you through the Letter of 2 Corinthians, exploring the anchoring truths of bearing treasures in jars of clay, meeting Christ through a pressing thorn, opening wide your heart in the midst of hurtful relationships, and what it means to embrace the lost and lonely as ministers of the new covenant. Each of us has a message to proclaim and live by: Because of Jesus the old has gone, the new has come.

REFINE
Jesus transforms our lives through a personal relationship with him. Change happens when we allow more of our lives to model his. Look for studies that help you grow and refine spiritual disciplines, like prayer, sabbath, and story work.

Ashamed - Scarlet Hiltibidal
Tuesday PM - 6:30PM - 8:00PM (Keaghlan Sheridan and Annabeth Williams)
This semester, we are offering a Young Adult Study geared towards ladies 20-30. Join Keaghlan and Annabeth as we all tackle the topic of shame.
When Isaiah stepped into the throne room of God, he was “undone” by his sinfulness in view of God’s holiness. When an angel touched his mouth with a coal and told him his sin was forgiven, Isaiah essentially said, “Here I am. Send me. I don’t care where. I’m yours! I’ll do whatever!” He moved from being undone by shame to a hopeful humility and an eagerness to serve the Lord.
In this 6-session study from Scarlet Hiltibidal, discover the deep, freeing truth that being undone is the right place to start. Move beyond your shame to the joy-inducing, peace-producing thrill that comes from a relationship with Jesus. We were made to live in the light—confessing and repenting and renouncing our shame—because Jesus experienced shame in our place.

pRACTICE
The Kingdom of God is communal. The greatest commandments show us that the church is to operate as an outpost of heaven. Part of growing as believers is practicing what we are learning independently with other believers while building one another up in love.

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus - Nabeel Quershi
Wednesday PM - 6:30pm - 8:00PM (Amy Ragon)
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus is more than the memoir of a man's pursuit of answers to the most important issues of life and faith. Ultimately, it's the story about the transformative grace and mercy of the one true God.
Providing an intimate view into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi struggled with an inner turmoil that will challenge Christians, Muslims, and all those who are interested in two of the world's greatest religions and the quest for truth.
Qureshi--with great courage and intimacy--wrote this book with three major purposes in mind:

Qureshi--with great courage and intimacy--wrote this book with three major purposes in mind:
- To tear down walls between two of the world's major religions by giving non-Muslim readers an insider's perspective into a Muslim's heart and mind.
- To equip the reader with facts and knowledge, showing the strength of the case for the gospel contrasted with the case for Islam.
- To portray the immense inner struggle of Muslims grappling with the gospel, including all the sacrifices and doubts that rise up along the way.
