Why do we pray? How do we pray? Does it really matter what we say? As believers, we know we should pray—but many of us still wrestle with how to make it personal and powerful. The good news? Jesus not only teaches us to pray—He shows us how. Join us for “The Lord’s Prayer,” a women’s Bible study hosted by Hope Coffee Ministry as we dive into the heart of prayer through Jesus’ own words. Together, we’ll explore the purpose and power of prayer; how prayer can flow from love, not obligation; and, how to deepen your devotion to God through daily conversation with Him. This study starts on Thursday, August 14th, 9 am at Hope Coffee. Contact Janet Linden at office@thehope.live to purchase the study or if you have questions. Come grow in your relationship with God as we learn to pray the way Jesus taught us; authentically, intimately, and faithfully. 

"Fighting with Faith" is an in-depth study through the book of Philippians. From beginning to end, the book of Philippians speaks to the blessings believers receive from their union with Christ. Paul encourages believers to live lives worthy of the gospel by examining themes of joy, endurance, fellowship, and contentment. This study will fix your eyes on the grace and glory of Christ, and will teach you what it truly means to fight with faith. This study starts on Thursday, September 4th, 9 am at Hope Coffee. Contact Janet at office@thehope.live to purchase the study or if you have questions.
