Ready to Reset

Marsha MathewsEvent Updates, Women's MinistryNovember 21, 2014 Leave a comment0

ReadyToReset_blogWhat do you get when you mix fellowship, food, fun, and a teaching with 150 women?  Why, a girls’ night out, of course!  And that is exactly what happened this past Monday evening at the Ready to Reset women’s event at RBC. Even the bitter cold weather could not keep the women away from this special evening. The night began with fellowship, ice breakers, and a great selection of hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and delicious flavored coffees and teas.

​Our ​speaker, Cheryl Ryan, shared from her own life, and the lives of Leah in the Old Testament, and Paul in the New Testament. She explained how God uses ​H​is ordained resets in all of our lives to bring us to ​Him. Those resets can be slow or fast, gentle or painful, surprising or even shocking​, but one truth is constant -​ ​in the resets God always remind​s​ us of ​His great love and grace in our broken lives. Yes, we still live in a broken world​,​ yes, we ourselves are broken, and yes, our hearts are constantly wandering away, but God is redeeming and rescuing us right in the midst of the difficulty, pain, brokenness and confusion.

With ​Leah​ we saw how she​ was “working” for her husband’s love by giving him son after son after son.  ​For Paul​, it was how he​ was “working” by proudly boasting of his own righteousness​. And ​for ​Cheryl​ she​​ shared with us her own personal story of believing that to be good Christian ​meant she had to “work” at being strong​ in the Lord​. In all these cases ​God ​broke through their circumstances and ​showed that the “work” had already been done​ and that the good news is – it Is finished! The love and approval each desperately needed was only to be found in God, and they discovered they didn’t have to work for it.  They actually found His wonderful love and grace was already theirs not by working for it, but by seeing and admitting their own weakness through​ His appointed​ reset​​.

If you enjoyed the event and would like some follow up, we encourage you to please visit the Women’s Ministry of Reston Bible Church Facebook page. There we will be offering some follow up resources, including the references to ​t​he quotes you all have been asking ​for from the event​. ​If you weren’t able to make it to Ready to Reset, in the next few days we will be posting the audio to Cheryl’s message there on the page as well. Then watch for more information on how you can ask follow up questions regarding the teaching. ​You will also find more frequent quotes and resources to encourage you as you follow the page. So let’s get the conversation started by “liking” the Women’s Ministry of Reston Bible Church Facebook page and we’ll meet you there!
