Welcome

Women's Summer Online Bible Study

Let me start by confessing I am not a bible scholar.  I have grown to love spending time with God in His word, but this wasn't always the case.  As a new Christ follower, I found reading the bible to be very difficult and would often walk away from my attempts more discouraged than when I started.  I soon realized I needed help.

There are two most important gifts God has given me that have been crucial in my journey through the bible: the Holy Spirit and my MacArthur Study Bible.  That being said I have two bits of encouragement for you as you get started.  First pray before you open your bible and attempt to read or study it.  Invite the Holy Spirit to give you understading so that the words you read will come to life in you and not only penetrate your head but also your heart.  Lastly, if you have not already, be sure to invest in a good study bible.  I like to study from the New King James Version and New International Version but there are other versions to choose from as well.  Do a little investigating and find the one that works best for you.  Thank you for taking this journey with me.  I can't wait to see what's in store for us!

How It Works...

Are you looking to find a way to stay in the word through the summer?  Do you often find yourself setting out to read a book of the bible only to find yourself off track before you know it?  Would you like to join a group of people looking for the same thing, but just can't commit to another weekly night out of the house?  Or have so many plans through out the summer that it would be nearly impossible to stay on task?  Well then we have the answer for you... Welcome to Get Into The Word daily summer online bible study. 

We are officially launching Monday, June 6th and continuing through Friday, August 26th.  During this study, we are going to read the books of Philippians and Colossians.  Each day (Monday-Friday) there will be a short scripture followed up by two study questions.  We encourage you to answer these questions in the comments segment of each post and partcipate in commenting back and forth with eachother to create community with one another.  You can also join as a follower or enter your email address into the field on the right to receive daily updates and reminders.

I hope that this is a great and useful tool for us to stay connected to God and to each other through out the hustle and bustle of the summer!  Should you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly at tiffanyantoun [at] gmail.com.

I look forward to hanging out with each of you here on this blog this summer!
