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.

Putting God First in our Busy Lives

This time of year our lives seem to get busier and busier. Besides our normal routine, we start to plan for family and friends coming together to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the pressure begins as we think of the menu we are going to serve, decorating the house, and finding that perfect gift for each of our loved ones.

But my friend, I encourage you to stop for a second and remember the reason for the holiday season - Jesus Christ. 

John 3:17 'For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved' NKJV
 
In our home, Thanksgiving is not about eating Turkey - it is about Thanking God for sending His only Son; Jesus Christ to the world so that we can spend eternity with Him.  It is a time to reflect on all the blessings we have received and Thank the Lord for our lives.  It is a time to Thank God for the greatest gift - the Gift of His Son rather than the material gifts that will one day fade away. 

Don't allow the busyness of life to rob you of this special moment where you can Stop for a second and recognize that God is the 'I AM'; He is our creator, our savior, our provider, and He deserves all our love and respect.  Live each day for the Lord, trusting Him for every aspect of your life!
