 WOMEN'S LIFE: Bible Study




JANUARY 2025 BIBLE STUDY

 

JOIN US THIS IN JANUARY 2025 

FOR A 7 WEEK STUDY - HEAVEN: WHEN FAITH BECOMES SIGHT

Come explore the subject of Heaven from a biblical perspective. Jennifer Rothschild will separate what’s true about Heaven from what’s based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. As we walk through the study, we'll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for His children, but also learn how to live with confidence today as we look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don't just wonder about Heaven—embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace.

 What is Women's Life?

Each Thursday morning, we start Women’s Life with a time of coffee, a sweet treat and wonderful fellowship. This is a time to connect with all the women in the study, develop new friendships and reconnect with old friends. A large group study follows where we open the Bible, learn God’s truth for our lives, and come to know Jesus more intimately as a result. We alternate between live lectures and video series by nationally recognized Bible teachers for women. All the teaching in Women’s Life is Biblically based and doctrinally sound. Small group time provides an opportunity for women to share, discuss the Bible teaching, ask questions and connect in a more relational setting. 


Women’s Life is for all women from all faiths and backgrounds. It's a Bible study for any woman who is interested in learning more about God and having a personal relationship with His son, Jesus, from the Bible. 


If you have never participated in a Bible study before, Women’s Life is for you! We will help you feel welcomed and loved without being overwhelmed.  And ... if you’ve been in Bible study for most of your life, this is for you, too! We just want all women to come, learn and grow in their faith in God.

What do Women say about Women's Life?

Jenny says:

"Women’s Life has been such a blessing to me in my journey with Jesus. It’s been a joy to gather as women to develop good christian friendships deepen our faith and grow in our personal relationship with the Lord. There’s nothing like taking time during the week to reflect, reset, and recalibrate with Jesus! 

Please come and join us Thursday mornings and experience the love and goodness of God!" 

Joan says:

"Women’s Life has been a blessing to me. Each week we study God’s Word and learn from His truth for our lives. I can’t imagine going through the trials of this world without the knowledge and guidance that I receive from studying the Bible with these wonderful women. The Bible Study at Women’s Life brings me closer to God, gives me encouragement, hope, and joy in my life!"

Carol says:

"I was a newbie to Women's Life for the Haggai study in January, 2024. While l've been in Bible studies at my church and beyond all my adult life, the book of Haggai and the proximity to my home were an attraction to me. What a joy to go through the 37 verses of Haggai, reading and listening to how Jennifer Rothschild, author of the study, unfolded the meaning of the Scripture so we could apply it to our lives. In addition, I have enjoyed the music, the new people I have met, and our small group discussion time at Women's Life. Looking forward our next study in 1 Corinthians!"

Christiana says:

"Women's Life has been a great way to worship and fellowship with other ladies, especially those who are in my small group! My small group consists of all Moms who encourage and pray for each other through all things. My 4 year old daughter also loves being in the children's program! She talks about the Bible stories she has learned and all the activities she does with the friends she has made. Her teachers are wonderful and so caring. I'm so thankful for this Bible study."

Natercia says:

"It's been a joy to sit under the teaching of remarkably talented women who are genuine and real with their own faith journeys in the Women's Life Bible study. I've enjoyed being part of a small group of women, in different seasons of life, who encourage each other to stay faithful, strong and continue to serve in the midst of challenging life situations. It's a safe place for women to grow and share and laugh together."

Juanita says:

"Women's Life Thursday morning Bible Studies has enriched my spiritual life with the wonderful teachings prior to our small group studies and through the sharing of believers within our small groups. attend a different Christian church but also feel a part of WSBC through Women's Life. It's been a blessing to get to know more women each year, sisters in Christ, who share the love of Jesus Christ!"

Jen says:

"In August 2019, my family and I embarked on a huge adventure, moving from our beloved home country at the southern tip of Africa, to Illinois. I knew that I needed to integrate myself into our new community as soon as possible. Our first local Hinsdalean newspaper provided just such an opportunity – the advertisement for the Women’s Life Fall 2019 session jumped right out at me. I recall still doubting myself on the eve of the introductory meeting and had, in fact, decided to “chicken-out”. The next morning though I felt a definitive, forceful pull to attend. I am so grateful for that urge and have not looked back. Each aspect of  the Women’s Life sessions has been a pure blessing, initiated with the overwhelmingly warm reception on day one and developing into true, rich and Christ-filled relationships with absolutely awesome women. These relationships have been so significant, particularly during the recent tough times of social and physical distancing, with our small group still meeting regularly on Zoom. I am so grateful to have been accepted just  the way I am, while also being challenged to learn and grow in faith and purpose."

Linnzie says:

"When you are blessed with a great family and friends and all the conveniences of our modern world, you never expect to need more. Woman’s Life has fulfilled a piece of my world that I didn’t know was missing. The inspiring stories of God and the strong bonds I have made in our small groups have set a path for my spiritual growth and deep connections to our higher power. Thursday mornings were the highlight of my week always leaving with a full heart and a soul closer to God. There truly is no better place to feel acceptance than at Western Springs Baptist Church."

Aimee says:

"My life has been blessed in so many ways by the ladies in Women's Life. I attend another church but was invited by a friend. I love all the diversity that comes together weekly from all denominations and backgrounds.  We encourage each other, pray for each other and each session we have a different study to learn and discuss. Now I look forward to every Thursday because I always leave here uplifted and refreshed from all these women that pour love and wisdom into my life."

Marie says:

"Women’s Life is run by women who are serious about sharing the gospel, and do it beautifully with dedication and love. 

I first attended in the fall of 2022 to study the gospel of Mark and was warmly welcomed by new friends (and cookies!) and excitedly reconnected with ladies I knew from when my children were in school.  

They started with beautiful praise songs, which helped focus our hearts and minds on God.  Next was the lesson which was given by one of the leaders. I was so impressed by her knowledge and delivery that I thought she was a professional speaker hired to kick off the study! She started with a current relevant story tied to the lesson, and followed with Old Testament references and background. She then explained the chapter we were studying and, most importantly, told us how to apply Jesus’ teaching to our lives. Although I had studied Mark before I learned so much! 

We then broke into small groups where we discussed the lesson and prayed with and for each other. I left there feeling so joyful and uplifted and have attended ever since. 

I always look forward to Thursday morning. 

Janet says:

"Women’s life is such a wonderful opportunity to study God’s word and connect together in small groups. I really appreciate how genuine everyone is—women at all different ages and stages of life come together and everyone is so warm and inviting. I look forward to each study we do."

Lynn says:

"I was invited by a dear friend to attend Woman's Life at a particularly scary time in my life.  My eighteen year old daughter had just been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  I am familiar with bible studies having attended them off and on since my youth, but as soon as I walked into the reception area to meet my friend, I knew this was going to be a truly meaningful experience.  This wonderful, diverse group of women are warm, intelligent and real.  I love that the experience is split into large group worship and small group meetings.  We laugh, pray, sometimes cry (me) in this very supportive safe place where you can embrace God in your heart and lean into the teachings of the Christian life."
