Isn’t it a comfort that God seeks after proud people? That was one of the main points from last Sunday’s sermon. If we’re honest, we are all proud people, yet God doesn’t always give us what we deserve. He is merciful to those who humble themselves. God is definitely able to humble us, but it is far better to humble ourselves rather than have him do it for us. But even so, God pursues us even in our pridefulness, just as he did King Nebuchadnezzar. One day God will humble every proud person, but we have the assurance that God is kind and gentle with those who know they need to be humbled because of their sin. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. That is a promise we can hold onto.

GOSPEL LIFE GROUPS

Gospel Life Groups (GLGs) are primary way of getting to know one another at a relational level. GLG’s consist of a group of people getting together for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. With COVID-19 restrictions, it is increasingly difficult to stay connected to people. To help facilitate connectivity, we have GLGs that meet in person and online. Each group meets in homes and decides how to best go about precautions. However, we do have GLGs that meet via Zoom for those who want to remain connected to people but are uncomfortable meeting in person. If you would like to meet in a GLG in person, just click on one of the top two buttons below. The bottom link is the actual Zoom address link for the online GLG that meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month @ 7pm.

RE:GARDING HIM WOMEN’S CONFERENCE
MARCH 19 or 20

Every woman wants to feel fulfilled. Yet the things we pursue to give our lives meaning often leave us feeling empty instead. At re:garding HIM you will explore how living according to God‘s design gives us true and joyful purpose.

Friday, March 19, 7:00-9:30pm
Saturday, March 20, 9:00-11:30am

Both events are held at Christ The Word Church (3100 Murd Rd, Sylvania, OH). For more information about the event, contact Chelsea Andres or click on one of the buttons below.

WOMEN’S STUDY

Women’s Study starts back up soon. They will meet every Tuesday @ 7pm at the Commons and on Zoom for 6-7 weeks straight beginning in March. They will be doing a study on Hebrews 11 by Trillia Newbell called, “A Great Cloud of Witnesses.” Throughout Scripture we find countless stories of God’s faithfulness—we also find countless stories of the people who remained faithful to Him. To strengthen and deepen your own faith, enter the stories of God’s imperfect yet faithful people, such as Rahab, Enoch, Gideon, Sarah, and many more whose faiths withstood the tests of their days. For more information, contact Chelsea Andres.
