Sixteen young mums have joined a Bluff Point Bible study to learn how to read, understand and apply God’s Word in their lives
God is using the Bluff Point Anglican Church to bless the women of Geraldton through a Bible study that equips women to read and understand Scripture for themselves.
More than a dozen women from other churches have joined the weekly Bluff Point ladies group led by Laura Hurley, wife of Assistant Minister Brendan Hurley. They are growing in faith in Jesus through Bible study, fellowship and prayer.
Laura is passionate about giving women tools to understand the big picture of God’s plan that unfolds through the Bible, and to apply God’s word to their lives.
“In order to love God better we need to know God better, and the only way to know God better is through his Word,” she said.
One participant, a single mum said. “Growing up I’d been told that the bible was important to read but I’d never been shown how to read it.
“I’ve never studied the Bible and I’ve never read the Bible book by book. I’m excited to learn how to read the Bible so I can make a Christian home for my kids to grow up in.”
Another participant said she was the first Christian in her family and the Bible study was her first experience of reading anything other than a gospel.
For the group, Laura chose a study of Hebrews over 20 weeks which applies a mix of homework, teaching and discussion.
“I wanted a resource that had women doing some hard work in the Word on their own during the week so that they make conclusions themselves.
“During the group discussion, the teaching is able to correct wrong understanding and grow our knowledge and love of God.”
Please pray that each lady will grow in love for God’s Word and obedience to Jesus Christ.
