NEW Leadership for 2024-2025

We're so excited to welcome you back to Bible study!

I’m so excited to start our Bible Study year with these 62 amazing ladies 🥰. We just completed two days of training and we’re ready for you to join us for an amazing year studying the Book of Acts!

This year we’ll learn how to be empowered by and use the gifts the Holy Spirit. We will also learn how to persevere in times of persecution, and how we as a church are called to fulfill the great commission. The story of Acts is still being written through us, the modern day church. Now is the time for us to move into action!!!

Above Our Circumstances

We are called to live above our circumstances!

“We’re never called to be underneath the circumstances. There’s nothing good underneath the circumstances; it stinks down there. So, rise about the circumstances. Give it to God. No matter who betrayed you and who hurt you, no matter what you did. Just know that He looks right at you.”

— Merrily Hagerman

We’re so grateful to have Merrily from Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel join us for last week’s Women’s Bible Study, May 2 + 3. If you missed Merrily’s teaching through Mark 14:28-72, Then He Looked At Me, click here or download our app Calvary South OC.

God Bless You!

Trust in God's Good Plan

Choose to trust in the Lord every single day!

Trust in God’s Good Plan!

God doesn’t call us to understand Him, he calls us to trust Him. I have needed to hold on to him so tight in this season. After losing our husbands, we must choose our response and how we will continue on. He gives us opportunity to choose how to live everyday - are we going to fear or trust Him, and I knew I wanted to live a life that would honor Him. He tells us there will be suffering in this world - as he suffered and died for us. But, He uses it for His glory and for His good. In your pain, forge on ahead, knowing that He will help you carry it.

“But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10

Whatever state you find yourself in, there are others who have gone before you. He puts us in each others lives to support each other. The comfort and encouragement of others will help us move forward in the calling God has for us. He created us for as such a time as this. He is creating a new woman though your loss and it is going to be an amazing journey.

“…that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” 2 Corinthians 1:4

On Time God

The Lord Is Always On Time!

The Lord Is Always On Time!

Have you ever struggled with God’s timing? Perhaps you think He’s late in answering a request? Or He’s forgotten you? The devil would love for you to believe that! But it’s just not true! God holds time in His hand. He’s never a moment early or a second late!

I was reminded this morning, reading the triumphal entry in Mark 11, how perfectly on-time the Lord always is. Zechariah prophesied 500 years before Palm Sunday what would take place: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is Just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey” Zechariah 9:9. Daniel also prophesied of this day in Daniel 9:24-27, saying there would be 69 weeks (translated 490 years) that would determine the coming of the Messiah and the future tribulation. He also predicted the date that Jerusalem would be rebuilt and restored, which was fulfilled by Artaxerxes in 445 B.C. And that 69 weeks (years) later the Messiah would come. This translates to 173,880 days. And guess what? 173,880 days from the declaration of Artaxerxes calculates to April 6, AD 32, which is the exact day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Coincidence? I don’t think so! God’s timing is always perfect! Hang in there — He’s got you and the things that concern you in His hand. Be patient with His timing, trusting that it will happen, and it will be perfect.
