A Taste of Freedom is your totally relevant six-week Bible series that will help you develop relationships with other women as you grow in your relationship with God.

This series is all about developing the spiritual fruit of self-control in our lives. And when we grow in this area, we experience freedom in a new way. Trust us! You’re going to taste freedom like never before!

This flavor-themed Bible series also gives women who aren’t quite convinced about coming to a church activity that extra little nudge to come. Paul’s words, “I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22) have never tasted so delicious. Reach out and find that common ground!

Each week, you’ll taste a different aspect of God’s goodness and learn how to develop the fruit of self-control in your life. You’ll savor the sweetness of God’s love, experience the richness of being resolute, explore how to make better (rather than bitter) choices, learn how to follow God’s will when candy (or something else) tempts you, and nourish your dreams for a happy and healthy life of freedom!

Whew! That’s a long list, so we’ve given you bite-sized portions to digest to deepen and enrich your learning in a way you can really understand.

Our other goal is to provide a place where women can really grow in relationships with each other. Each week, we’ll start with snacks, mingling, and a short prayer. This is key: We’ll take time to share and grow together. Women at any place in their faith journeys can feel right at home with this Bible series. The discussion questions can be understood and applied by women who don’t know Jesus yet or women who are long-time friends with him.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.

— Psalm 34:8-10
