2024/2025 Women’s Bible Study on Psalm 119:113-176
“I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure.”
Psalm 119:162
In the evil times, we have to fight hard for divine truth. Every doctrine costs us a battle. But when we gain a full understanding of eternal truth by personal struggles, it becomes doubly precious to us. If we have uncommon battling for the Word of God, may we have for our spoil a firmer hold upon the priceless Word!
Perhaps the passage means that the psalmist rejoiced like someone who comes upon hidden treasure for which he has not fought. In this case, we find the analogy in the man of God who, while reading the Bible, makes grand and blessed discoveries of the grace of God stored up for him – discoveries which surprise him, for he had not looked to find such a prize. Whether we come by the truth as finders or as warriors fighting for it, the heavenly treasure should be equally dear to us. With quiet joy the plowman slips home with his golden find! How victors shout as they share the plunder! How glad that person should be who has discovered his portion in the promises of Holy Scripture and is able to enjoy that portion for himself, knowing by the witness of the Holy Spirit that it is all his own!
“The Golden Alphabet” by Charles H. Spurgeon pages 251-252
We invite ladies, Jr. High age and older, to attend the Women’s Bible Study. We are sorry, but no childcare will be provided and children are not permitted to attend with the exception of infants not yet crawling whose Moms will only be able to attend the Moms’ Group in the Nursery Hallway. The Studies are held once-a-month on Tuesday evenings from September to May (no April Study). You can see the dates below. On those dates, we will have speakers who will be teaching on Psalm 119. You can click on the Women’s Bible Study brochure to read their bios. After the teaching, we will have optional Small Discussion Groups that meet in various locations to discuss our homework and the 8 verses we studied that month and to pray together. The homework is listed below. You will need to register to be in a Small Discussion Group when you come to the Study.
There will be NO Introduction Night this year in September.
The Study and the Small Discussion Groups will begin on September 24th. If you come to the Study that night and would like to register to be in a Small Discussion Group, be sure to do your homework prior to the first Study. We will be discussing the first 8 verses– Psalm 119:113-120.

- New Way to Register: In the fall when the Study first starts up, there are many ladies wanting to register to be in a Small Discussion Group. To make registering easier, from 6:45-7:10pm we will be doing registration at tables in the front foyer from September-November only. From 8:20-8:25pm we will also be doing registration from September-November at tables in the front foyer and from December-May at the center kiosk.
- Once you register to be in a group: The registration ladies will give you a name tag with that group # on it so when you go to the group, the Leaders will know that you have registered for their group.
- Registration at the Study only: In order to register, you must come to the Study and register in person. You will not be able to email or call us to register.
- Once a group is full: When a group is filled up, that group will be full and no one else can register to join that group.
- If you are no longer able to attend the Bible Study: If you registered to be in a group and you are no longer able to attend the Bible Study, please contact Women’s Ministry and let us know so we can remove you from the group and we can register someone else to be in that group.
