Women In Scripture Starts New Fall Study

In 2000, CBC founded Women In Scripture (WIS), a weekly Bible study with the purpose of offering women a secure place to study God’s Word, laugh, cry, talk, share and grow in the Lord. Since then, dozens of women from the Lilburn community and surrounding areas have benefited from this insightful, in-depth study.


The 2011-12 Women in Scripture Study: The Minor Prophets

WIS logo
The Minor Prophets tell the story of discipline, an approach that is carried on with individuals as well as kingdoms, but which often results in human pain and disappointment. The undercurrent in these books, however, is always one of hope. Behind the near-term failures and disasters lies God's ultimate purpose for Israel, Judah, and the human race. In the end, God will accomplish His goal not just to make us happy, but to vindicate His character in the process. The universe will leap for joy. Its Creator will be freely and sincerely adored, His creatures will be bonded to Him by their choice as well as His, and no threats will exist. The Minor Prophets (and their colleagues) are irrepressibly optimistic, for their God is sovereign. He will make it happen, and it will be worth the wait.

Study Notebook: At the beginning of each semester, students will receive a notebook containing each semester’s questions and commentaries. This allows for greater flexibility in self-study.

Students may join the WIS study at any time during the year. Whether you are an experienced Bible student or just getting started, you will thoroughly enjoy this study!
