Henderson Hills Women's Ministry

Do you struggle with fear and worry? Does fear of failure hold you back from being obedient to God’s call in your life? Does worry about loved ones’ safety steal your joy and peace? Do you desire to overcome these enemies and experience the peace, joy and victory that God intends for you? Come be encouraged as Carla shares with you some lessons that God has been teaching her recently: lessons about fear, focus, and faithfulness.

Are these the first words that come to mind when you think of your home? Me neither - but they can be! In this seminar we will explore what God's Word has to say about our homes and learn practical, intentional ways to create a home that is set apart for God and His purposes.

Today's culture devalues the initial Judeo-Christian idea of wives honoring their husbands. "Who me? Encourage him?" Often the initial words of the promise "I Do - I Will" quickly slip into "I Don't - I Won't." Discover with Pam five key promises that must enthrone every wife's core constitution concerning her attitude toward God's gift of marriage. You'll leave this session ready to put fresh vigor back into "The Promise."

On a daily basis we are faced with so many wonderful choices of how to invest our time and resources. Many times we must choose between good things, yet, how do we make these decisions? God teaches us to be women who prioritize according to His Word and His desires. Do you know what those are? Join us as we explore together how to simplify and prioritize to bring honor and glory to God and His Word, bless our families and live healthy lives: body, soul and spirit.

What does it look like to live a life Uncommon? Common, ordinary people can live a passionate life in the servanthood of their Master. What lies within them and from where does it come? What is the purpose? King David, a man after God's own heart, was a child working in the fields; Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a common teenage girl. What made them different than anyone else? What makes you different? Discover the treasure of God's voice calling you to a life Uncommon.

Our Lord and Savior, Jesus, both practiced and taught fasting. Yet today, many believers have not practiced fasting, nor have they been educated on this spiritual discipline, which many Bible scholars consider to be on the same level with prayer and Bible study. In this seminar, we will discuss the purpose of fasting, the different Biblical types of fasts and how to fast and stay focused. We'll walk through Scripture together and learn why fasting is a wonderful tool to help us know God more intimately.

Freedom is a journey not a destination! Galatians 5:1 tells us that it was for freedom that Christ has set us free. In this seminar, you will learn about strongholds, how to break them and how to begin walking out the life of freedom that the Lord designed for you!

The book "Conversation Peace" by Mary Kassian, has helped thousands of women revolutionize their speech habits and improve their relationships. If you have ever struggled with the temptation to share that "choice morsel" of gossip, or to respond sarcastically or impatiently, and if you've ever left a conversation regretting what came out of your mouth, this seminar will be a great help to you!

Prayer is God's gift to us, so why leave it unwrapped and unused? Our Father desires a deep, intimate relationship with us. One of the vital aspects of that relationship is prayer. In this seminar, we will explore different aspects of prayer and gain ideas for unwrapping and using this gift daily.

Broken dreams are overwhelming to anyone and a parent's broken dreams are particularly heartbreaking. In this seminar, we will examine the aches of parents' crushed hopes, but will focus on the sweet faithfulness of our loving God as He works through these events to achieve His purposes.

Each and every day we stand in our closets choosing what to"wear." Did you realize that the New Testament tell us over 30 times what to "put on"? Join us as we explore several passages and learn how to choose wisely what we wear as we live to honor and glorify God.

Life is filled with joys, challenges, difficulties and even sadness. Where do you go when you need the truth, or when you need comfort when life is tough? God's Word contains exactly what we need for every situation we face. However, we have to dig into it to discover what God has to say about our lives. In this seminar, we will look at how we can study God's Word so that we can be the salt that makes others thirst for Christ, and how the sweetness of His truth can soothe our souls.

We live in a sexually charged society. Almost everywhere we look we see sexually enticing images. Turn on the TV, radio or go to the movies and you can hear sex talked about and joked about at every turn. So, why do we struggle so much with it? God gave a husband and wife the gift of sex to be shared and enjoyed. The most private and personal act we can ever experience with our spouse somehow can become the most difficult. This seminar is not for the faint at heart! Find out how God can restore joy, give hope and even BLESS this very important aspect of your marriage.

Augustine of Hippo said "Our hearts are restless, until they rest in thee, O Lord'." We spend so much of our lives in search of something that is worthy of our attention, our allegiance, our affections and loyalty. Why? The Bible teaches us that at the very core of who we are, we understand that we are inadequate, unable to fulfill the basic craving of our soul. We enter this world and come to an understanding that there is something greater than us, with an intellect beyond us and abilities that we can't begin to understand. And we spend the rest of our lives pursuing the fulfillment of this sense of inadequacy. Worship is as natural as breathing. We will worship, it's what we were created to do. The question is, will we worship the only One that can answer and fulfill the deepest longings of our heart?

Undoubtedly, you, along with many of us, have experienced the loss of someone or something. When trouble and trials come our way, we are encouraged by Paul to "Rejoice in the Lord, always." The person of faith can gain strength to endure anything by trusting in God and choosing to give Him the praise and glory. This session will explore what God says about experiencing loss and how He is sufficient for all we need.

You have a sphere of influence. The question is: What are you doing with it? Have you ever considered that no one can impact the people in your circle quite like you? Titus 2:3-5 gives every woman of God a mission: to purposefully impact someone's life. What obstacles and lies do you hear from the enemy that keep you from coming alongside another and enhancing their spiritual growth? Come and learn how you have all you need through Christ to affect a positive change in another.

Are you human? Good. Then admit it: You, too, at some point in your life have wrestled with an unforgiving spirit. What do we do with the deadly triplets of resentment, an unforgiving spirit and bitterness? How can we cut them out of our hearts and move beyond the cancerous infection? Come and learn how to release these toxic tormentors and live in freedom and forgiveness.
