4. We are Daughters of the King

5. His Word 3 Sessions: 1st Session:Entitled “Ordinary People/Women” This encourages the women to see themselves as ordinary people in the hands of an extraordinary GOD. Using; 1st Corinthians 6:19-20. Women will be encouraged to recognize that they have worth; a purpose and those they belong to the family of God. 2nd Session: “Called to be Ambassadors” this will explore how to have a life of vision, joy and fulfillment. Using Corinthians 5:17-21, we note that our call to be an ambassador is based on two things, (1) we are new creations in Christ and (2) we are called to be ministers of reconciliation. 3rd Session: called “Power to LIVE Like a Princess”, this uses a number of different verses to help the women discover ways to live as daughters of the King even when they struggle. 4th Session: Look at the Woman in the Mirror: before analyzing others short coming, look at the woman in the mirror and see what changes can be made to enhance me to be a better Christian/woman of God.
