FROM THE DEEPEST OF PAIN COME THE PUREST OF JOYS: A BOOK STUDY ON 1 PETER 1

Is that possible? How could one say that there is joy in pain; much more for the purest of joy? The apostle Peter exhorts us that as believers, we can rejoice even if we are tested by persecution and suffering while in this world! Is that even livable in reality? How are we to do that?

Furthermore, we are called to live holy lives and compelled to ready our mind for action always while being in this world. What propels a Christian to believe these seemingly far-fetched claims?

Ask questions and wrestle with us as we think these things through on Saturday, August 7, 2021 (9:00 am Dubai time and 1:00 pm Philippine time). Join our study on 1 Peter Chapter 1 and engage with us, as we delve into this counter- cultural truth claims that a believer’s status and identity in Christ produces a living hope that empowers one to face trials with inexpressible joy and confidence.

RESTORING INTEGRITY: SEX, INTIMACY, AND RELATIONSHIPS

Deepening our conversation on Restoring Integrity Part I (Foundations for a Life that Works: https://fb.watch/v/HedD2CDC/) we got WHAT integrity is from a Judeo-Christian perspective and WHY we need to restore it. In Part II of the series, (Training in Righteousness: https://fb.watch/v/4Ve4pFIB0/) we presented a Scriptural framework on HOW to restore integrity that will result in individual transformation, taking us from being a child of God to becoming who we ought to be.

Now, in our commitment to train in righteousness, let us practice restoring integrity inside the area of sex and intimacy, which remains a sensitive and controversial topic in our contemporary culture. Whether your relationship status is single, married or “everything in between”, let us consider questions that get to the heart of the matter, such as: What is our current view of sex? What should it be? How has it shaped our behavior and decisions? And in turn, how has that impacted how we relate to our spouses and others? What are the barriers of being made fully known with others? What cultivates and what kills intimacy? How are we to face the reality of the haunting past that affects our current relationships?

Join us on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at 3:00pm for A Woman’s Forum, as we continue our series on “Restoring Integrity in Sex, Intimacy & Relationships.” Let us persevere to discover together real-time answers to our present-day questions on this deeply personal and complex topic of sex and intimacy so that we can experience new freedom, joy and satisfaction in our most significant human connections.

RESTORING INTEGRITY: TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

In our last forum Restoring Integrity I: Foundation for a Life that Works (https://fb.watch/5Dfd6e3E8L/) we considered the thoughts that drive our human behavior and keep us from living the free and fulfilled life we are called to in Christ.

Now what? We may have new awareness and understanding of what drives us, but how are we to operate in our day-to-day life? How do we correct our mistakes, close the gap of our inconsistencies, curb our passions and align our character with our identity in Christ, so that we can fully become who we are meant to be?

Join us on Saturday, June 5, 2021 at 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM (PH time) for A Woman’s Forum as we engage Part II of our series on “Restoring Integrity: Training in Righteousness.” Together, we will tackle your real-time questions as we continue to deepen our understanding and practice of what it means to live a life of integrity from a Biblical perspective.
