2019 Women in the Word Conference Details

Sitting, Standing, and Swapping Seats
Trusting in the Sovereignty of God

As women faced with the temptation to be perfect, we often find ourselves striving to gain a sense of control. It’s easy to say that we trust God but live like it’s all up to us. Together, let’s behold the magnitude of who God is from eternity past to His everlasting kingdom. We’ll unpack God’s word and take a creative look at Revelation 21:5-7 through the use of the potter’s wheel and spoken word poetry. Stop striving! Rest in the knowledge that He is completely and infinitely sovereign, and not just sovereign, but abundantly good. He invites thirsty people to take a seat at His table, drink from the water of life without cost, and enjoy Him now and forever.

A Little History

More than twenty-five years ago, godly women of vision in the Dubuque area established an annual conference designed to encourage and challenge women through God-honoring, Bible-focused ministry along with inspiring music and great fellowship. Emmaus Bible College is honored to continue this legacy, serving new generations of women who love God’s Word and thirst to know it more.

 

Women in the Word Ministries claims Luke 8:15 as its theme verse. In the Parable of the Sower, Christ himself explains that those who receive the seed in good soil “are the ones who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience” (Luke 8:15, ESV). Our objectives for the conference are:

 

  • To challenge and encourage women with in-depth study of the Bible and practical application to life.
  • To enhance fellowship among old friends and new around the person of Christ and love for God's Word.
  • To encourage a spirit of praise, thanksgiving, and joy through inspiring music and testimony.
