The 7 Rings of Marriage helps couples see the big picture and allows you to begin with the end in mind–“until death do us part.” When you know the end result you want, you can begin to take steps to get there.

This Bible study not only outlines The 7 Rings of Marriage, but provides practical biblical insight and activities to equip you in all stages of marriage.
Discover the pathway to a fulfilling and lasting marriage. Revisit the covenant you made and live out your calling as a couple, believing that God’s best for your marriage is yet to come.

No matter where you are in your marriage your marriage will benefit as you…

Rediscover the covenant you made and live out your calling as a couple.
Invest in your relationship with your spouse while growing in your relationship with Christ.
Equip your marriage to thrive in each new stage of marriage.
Dig deeper into Scripture and your marriage relationship alongside other couples—encouraging, supporting, and learning together as a community.

The 7 Rings of Marriage Bible Study was created to encourage you to apply what you’re learning. Opportunities for discussion, practical steps to take, and even date night ideas are covered.

JONAH: NAVIGATING A LIFE INTERRUPTED
January 16 – February 27
6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
Northpark, Room 101
Facilitated by Robyn Scroggins
Jonah [DVD Bible Study] by Priscilla Shirer
Interruptions. They’re aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. But how we handle interruptions actually tell us more about ourselves. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.

10:00 am, Northpark Room 101

Facilitated by Margarita Navarrette
Ladies, you are invited to join us for Bible study and prayer time. Bring your Bible and invite a friend!
‘Jesus: Experiencing His Touch’ by Kay Arthur & David Arthur
A touch from Jesus can change everything; A Study of Mark 1-6 – by Kay Arthur and David Arthur – The first six chapters of Mark’s Gospel overflow with stories of people drawing near to Jesus, longing to experience firsthand the touch of the Savior. Over and over, Jesus responded with compassion, interacting on a personal level with individuals who had been cast aside by society, their circumstances deemed beyond hope.
As you delve into their stories in this powerful study–the first in a three-part study of the Gospel of Mark, you’ll discover for yourself the difference it makes when you engage with Jesus personally and experience His touch in your life.
Books will be available on the first day.
For more information, contact the church office, 559-322-7200 or info@northparkcc.org.
