This encouragement from the lips of Jesus surely comforted a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago. And it offers a similar gospel hope to you today too. Kristi McLelland takes you back to Jesus’ first-century world, explaining the historical and cultural climate of His day to help you know Him more dearly. This 8-week study is a thoughtful look at several of Jesus’ interactions with women in the Bible that will fuel your worship of the Living God.

We live in soul-scorching times. The mad pace of life, the number of demands on our time and energy, and the overwhelming torrent of information coming at us 24-7 have left us all ragged, wrung-out, and emptied. This isn’t the life we want, but how do we get off the roller coaster?
Join us for this book discussion group and receive a practical, simple, and refreshing guide to taking your life back. God wants to strengthen and renew your soul, and Jesus longs to give you more of himself. The world may be harsh, but God is gentle; he knows what your daily life is like. Together, let’s put ourselves in places that allow us to receive his help. Your soul will thank you for it.
