Equip Women to Teach the Word
|
There is no greater gift to place into the hands of women than the life-giving truth of God’s Word. In a world filled with shifting opinions and unreliable voices, believers cling to what God has spoken, trusting Scripture as the one sure source of truth.
|
That conviction is what makes Equip Women to Teach the Word such a valuable resource. It is not only for women who teach, but for women who want to grow—women who long to know what Scripture says, stand firmly on its truth, and discern what matters most.
|
|
We are eager to share glimpses of its rich, faith-strengthening content, beginning with the greatest story ever told—God’s redeeming love for sinners given through Jesus Christ. You’re going to love this quick peek of Lesson One!

Lesson One - Standing Secure in Grace and Truth
|
|
|
|
“We love because he first loved us.”
1 John 4:19
|
|
|
|
God’s great love story is centered on his saving love revealed in Jesus Christ. The heart of Lesson One is the conviction that the Bible must be read with the “big picture” in view. That big picture is God’s loving plan of salvation in Christ. Every passage, doctrine, and detail of Scripture fits into that larger story. Like examining trees within a forest, readers may study individual verses, commands, or teachings, but they must never lose sight of God’s free grace. Without Christ at the center, Scripture is easily misunderstood, reduced to moralism, or twisted into human opinion. When read rightly, it reveals Christ and his redeeming love.
|
“When you come to the Scriptures, what you are looking for is a seeking God who wants to reach people and bring them into his kingdom forever. . . . We’re looking for a love story where God comes to us and presents himself to us.”
|
God is found most clearly at the cross—in Christ—bearing sin and suffering judgment and death for the world’s salvation. This is where God’s love is most fully seen: in the crucified Savior who redeems sinners with his holy, precious blood.
|
Get to know God better. Meet him where he comes to reveal himself to us.
