Such as a grain of sand that is formed to a precious pearl, so much more are you in God's hands. Precious and of great value, tragic past events in your life (rape, abuse, and kind of addiction).

Violet_Macias_1.jpg

How to obtain the perfect husband without changing the one you have led by Violet Maciasis a class for Christian married women that want to learn how to see their mates with God’s eyes. These four weeks’ workshop will talk about the desires that rules our hearts and how to transform them into God’s original design for our marriages. We will practice how to stand for battle against Satan with the armor of God. The virtuous woman is a warrior woman; she takes her hand against God’s enemy Satan, and refuses to back down until she sees total victory. I pray that the Holy Spirit will illuminate your hearts, open your eyes of your understanding so you can see God’s divine plan for which he has called you. This workshop will be based on the book titled “Fashioned for intimacy” written by Jane Hansen, but purchasing the book it’s not a requirement. However, If you like to read it, you can find it at www.Amazon.com for $3.99 dollars. Bring a pen and a journal.

CLauren_Morris_1.jpgrazy Love led by Lauren Morris. Crazy Love is a book that will challenge you to plunge deeper into a love relationship with Jesus in your daily living. Francis Chan will inspire you to live your life for God and fall madly in love with our creator. He takes you through a journey of developing a deeper relationship and truly living for Him. Christianity is not only about going to church, singing songs, reading your bible, and praying. It is about falling madly in love with our creator and living a life that is unexplainable to others. It is about filling that place in your heart with Jesus and being so in love with Him that you don't need anything from the world to substitute what he can give you. There will be two books, $8 each sold in class.

Sacred Marriage led by Megan Guillen-Diaz “Your marriage is more than a sacred covenant with another person. It is a spiritual discipline designed to help you know God better, trust him more fully, and love him more deeply. Scores of books have been written that offer guidance for building the marriage of your dreams. But what if God's primary intent foMegan_Barsness_1.jpgr your marriage isn't to make you happy. . . but holy? And what if your relationship isn't as much about you and your spouse as it is about you and God?

Everything about your marriage--everything--is filled with prophetic potential, with the capacity for discovering and revealing Christ's character. The respect you accord your partner; the forgiveness you humbly seek and graciously extend; the ecstasy, awe, and sheer fun of lovemaking; the history you and your spouse build with one another--in these and other facets of your marriage, Sacred Marriage uncovers the mystery of God's overarching purpose. This book may very well alter profoundly the contours of your marriage. It will most certainly change you.

Because whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God, and to a spiritual integrity that, like salt, seasons the world around you with the savor of Christ.”

We will be using the book “Sacred Marriage” by Gary Thomas. This book can be purchased through the Rockpile bookstore, or online at http://www.garythomas.com/sacred-marriage. Please bring your bible and an open heart. The book will be sold in class for $10

Made to Crave led by Myrna Harrison Are you tired of trying and failing at your "Get Healthy" resolutions? This year can Myrna_1.jpgbe different! Has food become more about frustration than fulfillment? Are you looking for the "want to" in how to make healthy lifestyle changes? Do you have a desire to be healthy and an even deeper desire to have the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen? Do you long to satisfy your deepest desires with God not food? If you answered yes - then join us on this journey as we learn together how to...

*Break the cycle of “I’ll start again on Monday,” and feel good about yourself today.
*Stop agonizing over numbers on the scale and make peace with your body.
*Replace rationalization that leads to diet failure with wisdom that leads to victory.
*Reach your healthy goals and grow closer to God through the process.

This approach is not a how-to manual or the latest, greatest dieting plan. Made to Crave is a helpful companion to use alongside whatever healthy eating approach you choose — a book and DV Bible study to help you find the “want to” in how to make healthy lifestyle change.

Materials: You will need the Made to Crave book AND Participants Guide by author Lysa Terkeurst (available for purchase in class) totaling $18 for both.

Loving God and loving others: The Heart of True Faith led by Heidi Sturch Have you ever asked yourself, What does God really want from me?

Those who truly want to please God can easily get confused. One Bible teacher details a long list of all of the commands you Heidi_K_1.jpgshould be keeping. The next teacher says you are not under law at all; all that matters is grace. Does that mean you don't have to keep any commands? Who is right?

What does it take to live a God-pleasing life?

Centuries ago, the experts in Jewish law took the Ten Commandments and multiplied them into 613 laws. Talk about confusing. Jesus, however, took the Ten Commandments and divided them into two: love God and love people.

In the next six lessons we'll look at these two great commands that define the very heart of Christian faith-and learn how following them can transform not only your life but the lives of those around you.

The book we will use for this class is called: Loving God and Others: The Heart of True Faith by Kay Arthur, David Lawson, and B.J. Lawson and can be purchased online at Amazon or Christianbook.com. This book will be sold in class.
