ABOUT OUR BIBLE STUDIES
Over the years, our women’s leadership team has chosen to write some of our own Bible studies. During the school year, we normally do a longer, more in-depth study; during the summer, we write shorter, topical studies. Often these summer studies are accompanied by short skits that are available as free downloads on this website.

IN-DEPTH VERSE-BY-VERSE STUDIES
These studies take women on a journey verse-by-verse through an entire book, chapter or passage of the Bible. Most of the in-depth studies have lessons consisting of 12-16 questions (three pages). The questions are geared to those who are new to Bible study, as well as those more experienced. To see a sample lesson, go here.

Cost $10
Psalm 119, with 176 verses, is the longest chapter in the Bible. It has been described as “everything we need to know about God’s Word from A to Z.” The 10-lesson spiral-bound study looks at the themes presented in this psalm and then each “stanza” is studied verse-by-verse.

A Few Good Men
A Study of the Good Kings of Judah
Cost $12
After King Solomon’s death, there was a civil war resulting in a divided kingdom. The two tribes of Judah and Benjamin formed the southern kingdom of Judah, while the remaining ten tribes formed the northern kingdom of Israel. None of Israel’s kings were good; however, eight of Judah’s 19 kings were classified as “good” kings, who, for at least part of their reign, “did what was right in the sight of the Lord.” Those kings were Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah/Jotham, Hezekiah, Josiah. The reign of each of those eight kings is the subject of this 7-week in-depth study.
