"Twelve Extraordinary Women"
by John MacArthur

The women chosen for the book Twelve Extraordinary Women were genuinely ordinary when it came to their human backgrounds and innate talents. In some cases, they were shockingly low-caste women or women without any particular distinction. But they were made extraordinary through memorable, life-changing encounters with the God of the universe. God used these women for His divine purposes. He refined them like silver and because of the gracious work of God, they stand as reminders to us of both our fallenness and our potential. Speaking together as one, they point us to Christ and exemplify God's Word: "God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His Presence. (I Cor. 1:27-29.)

The message of the series is to be this: If you imitate the faithfulness of these women and learn to love the Savior whose work made them extraordinary, your life also can be extraordinary.

"Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent"
by Beth Moore

"Traveling pilgrims sang these psalms both on the way to the great festivals of the LORD and as key elements of the worship at those festivals. Just as a song or poem can express feelings of fear, doubt, hope, and joy, these 15 psalms model how we can voice our own petitions and praises to our God, who is always available and ready to hear us."

"Explore the major feasts of Israel and journey with Beth through this 7-session study. Themes of unity, joy, gratitude, redemption, repentance, the power of blessings, facing ridicule, and more are explored in detail. Modern-day believers in Jesus Christ can learn much from these treasured Psalms in their journey toward greater intimacy with God."
 

Thursday Evenings Bi-Weekly 7:00 - 8:45pm - Beginning January 12th
Room A-100, Lebanon Baptist Church
Facilitator: Brenda Nunnally

Women's Ministry Overview

Lebanon Baptist's Women's Ministry is a dynamic ministry for women of all ages. Through Bible studies, retreats, banquets, and Ladies Friendship Brunches, we seek to encourage women to become devoted followers of Jesus Christ who bring glory to God. Our desire is for women to grow spiritually, reach out to those who do not know Christ, encourage and serve each other, pray for one another and enjoy fellowship together. Our role model is the woman described in Proverbs 31.

Our regularly scheduled activities include a Ladies Morning Bible Study (Thursdays 9:30 - 11:00 am during the school year), a Ladies Evening Bible Study (usually every other Thursday evening 7-8:30 pm during the school year), quarterly Friendship Brunches, a Fall Retreat (a weekend away with a guest speaker), a Spring Conference (a weekend in March at our church with a special speaker and "breakout sessions") and a King's Daughters Banquet (in May).  We also have a weekly "Power Connection" on Wednesdays before the adult Bible Study.  This is a special time of praise and prayer with other ladies.

Our theme for the year is "Our Lives....An Instrument of Righteousness" Rom. 6:13. What a privilege to be a part of the Lord's work, to minister to and alongside the women of Lebanon, to share what God has done in our lives! Ministry is our responsibility. God calls each of us to serve Him as "instruments of righteousness."
