  • Summary

  • Joshua & Peter: The Sufficiency of God “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”~1 Peter 5.10 Joshua 1.9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” This is your personal invitation to the women of CEPC for a 20-week Bible study focused on the sufficiency of God. We will examine how God continually restored, confirmed, strengthened, and established two very different men: Joshua and Peter. We will see how perfectly He provided for their greatest needs as they faced many challenges in life and in service to Him. Again and again, God proves to Joshua and to Peter that He is an All-Sufficient God. As we study the books bearing their names ~ Joshua, 1 Peter, and 2 Peter ~ we will meet the same All-Sufficient God. God alone is able to still our fearful hearts, quiet our anxious thoughts, mend our broken spirits, and comfort us in our times of suffering. Indeed, He alone faithfully provides all we need. Spend time with the God of all grace, Who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ. He Himself will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you! Weekly lessons are posted on the website cepc.org (Christ Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Houston Texas), and weekly lectures are presented live on Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings. The podcast is posted on Tuesdays and the lecture videos are posted on the Christ Evangelical Presbyterian Church (cepc.org) website on Wednesday afternoons.
