With Jesus is a 5 week study that begins with the gospel of John, but has us trafficking all over the Bible. We see how when Jesus comes to earth, He brings grace and truth to humanity. We learn from Jesus, our master teacher, the reality of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives, and we gain a clear picture of our truest identity in Jesus. Marjie has published several studies available through Amazon and other online retailers; Inheritance (1 Peter), Sustenance (2nd Peter), Dare to believe (James), Your Story Matters (Habakkuk), Choose Joy (Philippians), I believe in the Name of Jesus (the 7 I am statements of Jesus).Marjie and her husband, Steve, live in the Seattle area and have four grown children and two grandchildren.

Our trajectory as believers is forward and not backward.  In other words, the Lord intends for us to flourish. The goal of this study is to dig deep into God's Word and to curate or organize, select, and present the truth we have personally studied. From our curating, we are better equipped to flourish in our spiritual journey with Jesus. Someoe has said that we become what we behold.  There is simply no escaping the fact that we're conformed to what we focus on. What are you focusing on? Is it your personal desire to flourish spiritually? If that is your goal, if you want to know joy and peace and to be a fruitful disciple of Jesus, it is important that you are a woman of the Word.The word flourish conveys what life in Christ is meant to be - enjoying the Lord and living for Him; it's serving with gladness and knowing Christ as our greatest delight. Is this the testimony oif your life? Would you say that you have a flourishing lifestyle? Come join us for this 6-week journey of deeper discovery of Jesus as we unpack the story of the woman at the well, and from there move on to Biblical identity and personal growth as we tackle the issues of life that try to weigh us down.

God's Word and people are the two things that will last forever.Each of us will have a last day on earth, and we have no idea when that will be. Doesn't it make sense then, as a believer of Jesus, to give your life and time to people that will last forever?This study is all about that very thing! We will study Scriptures that encourage and equip us to build our lives into people with eternity in mind.The study will not only equip us to pass on the truth of Scriptures to others, but we will be receiving a deeper sense of our own worth and value to God as we study. There will be practical exercises and assignments given over the course of six weeks that will challenge us to get outside of our comfort zones and "call out the gold" we see in others.We will take a look at both Old and New Testament people who went before us and paved the way to greater understanding of what life-upon-life truly means.This study will help us to build a solid foundation of disciple-making - the very thing Jesus called us to as He ascended from the earth after his resurrection.

Does the thought of living happy sound shallow to you?Would you be surprised to learn that living happy is actually a Biblical concept? Psalm 144:15 reminds us, "Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!" Even the Founding Fathers of America saw the importance of living a happy life when they declared that 'all men are created equal and are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'In this book we will discover in a deeper and fresh way how: Jesus surpasses all others in greatness, excellence and distinction making Him preeminent. This is an awesome thought, but how does this apply to our daily lives? Digging in to this letter will unlock this unique treasure. Jesus has taken away everything that shames and condemns us. Jesus has made it possible for us to put on and put off attitudes and actions. Jesus renewws our minds, enabling us to think happy and therefore live happy. Jesus actually lives inside of us, giving us daily hope and power.The study of Colossians will equip us and change the lens through which we view everything familiar.
