BIBLE STUDY IDEAS


Fall 2007  The Widow to Widow Bible study took place at Harvest Bible Chapel in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.

The group met each Saturday and participated in the following sessions:


Session I.  Creating Purpose/Discovering Meaning in our new life

God wants us to embrace life, this life.  He does not hide His personal purpose for us, though we may not see it clearly in the fog of change.  Let’s study together how to see His purposes and discover meaning in our new circumstance.


Session II.  Meet our panel.

These women do not want to be called experts.  But they have walked our journey and will give input on our questions and topics.


Session III.  Am I crazy?

Our emotions:  intense, numb, and sometimes “normal.”  You’d feel crazy too!  Moving through grief, anger, and loneliness is harder work than managing our living spaces, budget, and time.  Let’s study together God’s guidelines on these powerful emotions.


Session IV.  When God is invisible

Unanswered questions, unsolved problems, and promises not fulfilled. We’ll dare to look at the tougher side of life.  Photo gallery from Africa and lessons we can learn.


Session V.  God Hears Your Hearts Cry. 

When life is tough there are 10 facts that give us more than strength.  We have the courage to live boldly.
