In honor of all the faithful women who have been an encouragement to mothers in LCMS pews: past, present, and future. May the Word of God and the compassion of these women inspire us to serve our sisters in Christ who are raising little ones in the faith.
Whether you are a seasoned mother with wisdom to share, or have no children of your own, God uses women in all walks of life to be mentors. In this study, we will focus particularly on mentoring new moms. We will also consider three different ways to encourage new moms physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

“If you can remain calm while all others are panicking, you probably don’t understand the situation.” This is an old saying that brings a chuckle and a nod of agreement from many, especially in the weeks before Christmas. There are so many preparations to be made – presents to buy and wrap, cards to address and mail, food to purchase and prepare – how could anyone be calm! Yet, God invites us, even commands us, to be still – to fully comprehend and embrace the meaning of what He has done for us through the birth of His Son.

This Bible study looks at Luke 17:11–19, the account of the 10 lepers. This is a text often associated with Thanksgiving, since appreciation for the gifts of life are a prominent theme. However, it can also be used as we move into the New Year and reflect on our lives and our response to God's grace.

“Where” is the Father’s field and “how” does the Father sow, nourish, and reap His harvest of believers? The following study of God’s Word will attempt to answer those questions as we look at “where,” in the four arenas (i.e. mission fields) given to us by Jesus from Acts 1:8, and the “how,” with seven mission responses. This is a result of showing our faith by what we do from James 2:17–18.

Don't you just love those tests that are labeled PASS/FAIL? The written driver's test is a good example. What happened to grading on the curve, best three out of four or even doing "extra credit" projects to make up the difference?
We have seen that God's requirement for our test is strict law and its result is PASS/FAIL. "Keep my commandments and live." The law is there to convict us of our wrong doing.
God in His supreme love for us has given us the "extra credit" to pass His requirement. We don't have to perform any task, present a report, or write an essay to get this extra credit.

It seems like it is so easy to fall into sin. Often it is justified by telling yourself, “No one is looking. What will it hurt if I …” Or, we may try to cover one sin by quickly committing another. Who is going to know? Does God really care when we act like this?
This Bible study looks at David's story in 2 Samuel 11–12.

A Bible Study on Luke 9:22–43 — The Transfiguration of Jesus.
Mountaintop adventures are those exhilarating moments in life when we have felt uplifted and closer to God. Such moments recharge us with new enthusiasm for life and make us feel good about ourselves, other people, and God. These mountaintop adventures are times of great inspiration in our life. We all need these inspiring interludes from time to time to recharge our spiritual batteries and to prevent our faith and life from going flat and stale.
