Welcome to Empowered Bible Studies

Bible study is essential to our Christian walk. As we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives. This is what has inspired me to do an online Bible study.

Many years ago my husband introduced me to a commentary on the book of Colossians and I was so blessed as the Scripture came to life before my very eyes. Since that day we have developed an extensive library and enjoy studying God's Word.

I have prepared some Bible studies that I would like to share with you. My prayer is that they will bless you as much as they have blessed me in preparing them. I pray your life is touched and that it would inspire you to live every moment of every day for Christ.

Trusting God When it Hurts!

When we are in the bad times, we need to get our mind off of the circumstances we are going through and look to what God is doing in our lives as He uses them to shape us into what He wants us to be. We are to give thanks in everything as it says in
1 Thessalonians 5:18; that means the good and the bad because we know that in all things God is at work for our good!  Romans 8:28 'And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.'

When we look at the end result of what God is doing in our lives, rather than the pain or discomfort we are feeling, it helps to endure and seek to glorify God.  Trusting God becomes very evident in our lives when we thank God in the good times as well as the bad because we are showing that we are trusting in the bigger picture that God knows what is best for us.  God is in control.

    I remember i the Past I use to study the Bible hard and think I knew the answer ans someone would always Throw Virses at me that would contradict what I was saying. I hate sword fights they kill.
