Women's Retreat Messages

Our 2019 Women’s Retreat went off successfully last weekend. To the ladies who attended, we’re grateful we could send you and are very glad to have you back.

For those who couldn’t make it—and for those who went but need a refresher—we have recordings of the three main sessions with a summary and quotes below.

A big thank you to Kirsi Turbedsky for all her work serving the ladies by preparing and teaching at the retreat. May our church be filled with women of faith in Christ, hope in God’s glory, and love for God and their neighbors.

  • We believe God says we are perfect and we believe He provides perfect grace.

  • “The essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.” -Tim Keller, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness

  • “Do you realize that it is only in the gospel of Jesus Christ that you get the verdict before the performance?  The verdict is in. And now I perform on the basis of the verdict.” -Tim Keller, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness

  • If we hope in the glory of God, we will never be disappointed.

  • “Many of us struggle with questions of God’s goodness, faithfulness, and love, not because he has been unfaithful to any promise in any way, but because we simply are not on his agenda page...God is not working to deliver to you your personal definition of happiness.” -Paul Tripp, New Morning Mercies

  • We love because God has loved us freely and His love transforms us.

  • Love is a transformation, not a transaction.
