Join us for a new six week Bible study exploring more powerful, honest, and hope filled relationships from scripture and sacred partnerships- Part 2 we will look at couples and partnerships marked by love, loss, courage, faith, failure, and redemption- and discover how God works through real, imperfect people to explore his purposes. We will look at Jacob and Rachel, Hannah and Elkana, David and Bathsheba, Hosea and Gomer, Esther and King Xerxes, and Paul and Lydia. Whether you are married, single, widowed, or simply seeking to grow in faith, this study is for you. These stories remind us that God's grace is bigger than our failures and that faithful relationships of many kinds can become part of his redemptive work.
