Mars Hill Women's Teaching

Women's Theology
~ Part 1: What is Theology and Why Should I Care?
~ Amy Lockman - Proverbs tells us that insight and wisdom has its foundation in the fear of the Lord and knowledge of the Holy One. In Luke 10:42, Jesus says that Mary has chosen the good portion in response to her sitting at his feet and listening to his teaching. This leads us to ask ourselves how much time do we really spend getting to know God on a deep level? In this session we will unpack the words “theology” and “doctrine” and look at the importance of studying God’s word.

~ Part 2: Faith versus Worry
~ Amy Lockman - Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God. It is important for us to understand what faith is, what scripture says about it and what Jesus says about it. Many times we believe more in the realities of our problems than in the reality of our God, his character and his truth. In this session we will look at what the Bible says about unfaithfulness and faithfulness and will examine the connection between our worries and anxieties and our faith.
