The Online Ministry of Lisa Hughes
Weekly in-depth, inductive Bible studies full of application for the strengthening of your faith. These studies are designed for women who want more from the Bible and want to see that reflected in their changed lives.
“Study hard, for the well [of God’s Word] is deep, and our brains shallow.”
“Philip was a searcher after Christ in the place where Christ loves to be—in the pages of Scripture—and you must be the same if you desire to find Jesus!”
Each Monday morning I'll be posting a new Bible study for you to print out and use.

In this lesson we get to start digging into Paul's opening comments about the Thessalonians believers. What a privilege to eavesdrop on those words. We'll be encouraged and motivated by the Thessalonians--even in these opening verses!
The primary goal of this week's lesson is observation. It's amazing how this simple Bible study skill can yield such great results. Taking the time to "observe" the chapter and really see it's structure and contents helps us handle God's Word accurately. It builds a reverence for the Scriptures and gives us confidence as we study. I hope you'll grow to love this process as much as I do! Prayerfully seek the Lord's help as you do!
Every book of the Bible turns out to be our favorite when we dig into God's Word. The first letter to the Thessalonians is no exception. This church was near and dear to Paul's heart and it comes through in every verse. He loved these dear believers! Learn how to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord the way the Thessalonians did. Ask the Lord to help you faithfully complete the whole series. Maybe encourage a friend to do the studies with you.

One of the more well-known verses from this chapter is 2 Corinthians 13:5 where we urged to "examine ourselves." This is always a crucial component in any believer's life, yet it holds pertinent value as we come to this last lesson in this particular study. Examine yourself. How have you been changed, challenged, convicted, or comforted in this study? I'd love to know! Please email and share what the Lord has taught you!
Be sure to check back here next week as I'll have a new study ready and waiting for you! God's richest blessings to you! For now, click on the picture to download or print out this lesson.
Are you content with the difficulties in your life? Can you say, like Paul, that you are well content with weaknesses, insults, and distresses? Paul reveals how we can gain godly contentment--even if the circumstances in our lives remain the same. If you want to hear more on this subject, check out my retreat series on "Unmet Expectations" where I deal with this subject in-depth!

It's never fun to defend yourself, and Paul isn't thrilled about having to do so, but he moves ahead for the good of the Corinthian church. Paul provides us with a great example of speaking truthfully when attacked, yet doing so without boasting. We'll also learn about Paul's most embarrassing moment.

One of the main themes in this lesson is meekness--humility. Oh, to be more like Jesus! Click on the picture to download or print out this lesson. Seek the Lord's help and wisdom as you study His Word.
Nothing reveals our heart faster than the subject of giving. Our attitudes toward giving and our motivations behind our giving reveal so much about what we believe about the Lord, how we feel about His church, and how we can practically love others. The Lord is ready to meet with you today in His Word. Click on the picture and get started!
There's so much application in this lesson! Paul incisively deals with the issues of true repentance and the need for reconciliation. Take some time right now to ask the Lord to deal with any issues in your own heart you may need to repent of. Consider too that you might need to make things right with someone and go to them today.

"For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that One died for all therefore all died, and He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who rose and died on their behalf." This week's lesson contains my life verse, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15. Read the chapter carefully, noting the transitions, and how Paul relates each new concept to what he has already discussed. Blessed thoughts are contained here!
