Join us for the next #BlessedBookClub gathering at Art Inn Heaven as we dive into Part 3 & 4 of Pilgrim’s Progress. This week, we’ll reflect on trials, temptations, and God’s guidance, exploring Chapters 4–8, including Christian’s encounters with Mr. Worldly Wiseman, the Slough of Despond, the Hill Difficulty, and the House of the Interpreter. Together, we’ll identify common spiritual obstacles, learn to discern God’s path, and discover practical ways to rely on Scripture and mentorship. Bring your heart, questions, and journal—leave inspired with a plan to lean on God and apply His wisdom in your daily walk.

Welcome to Week One of the #BlessedBookClub as we begin our journey through Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan. This virtual gathering invites you to walk alongside Christian as he leaves the City of Destruction and heads toward the Wicket Gate, reflecting on the burdens we carry, God’s call to faith, and His guidance along the way. Through personal reflection and group discussion, we’ll read, journal, pray, and share insights that deepen our understanding of salvation, perseverance, and spiritual growth. Join us Wednesday, February 11, from 7–9pm, as we take our first steps together on the pilgrim path.

Join us for Week One of our 1 Corinthians study as we dive into Paul’s bold opening words to a gifted yet divided church. Together, we’ll explore what it means to be “called by God,” grounded in grace before correction, and rooted in identity before action. Paul reminds us that the power of the gospel isn’t found in human wisdom, charisma, or comparison—but in the cross of Christ. This session invites honest reflection on pride, division, and spiritual maturity, calling us to rebuild on the true foundation of Christ.
