Welcome to the Women’s Ministry at Living Hope
We’re so glad you’re here! Our Women’s Ministry exists to equip women to deepen their faith, walk in unity, and shine with His love in every part of life. Whether you’re just starting your journey with Christ or have been walking with Him for years, you’ll find a community ready to support, encourage, and grow alongside you.
Currently, our Bible studies and events are on break until May, but we’re continuing to send out weekly devotions to encourage and inspire you in your walk with Christ.
Through these devotions, prayer, and our other seasonal gatherings, we remain committed to helping women connect, grow, and reflect Jesus’ love in every part of life. Stay connected through our app or website, and join us as we grow together in His likeness.

Weekly Devotional
Stay Connected
John 15:4–5 (NASB)
“Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who abides in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”
| Time To Savor |
Have you ever reached into the fridge, excited for some grapes, only to find they’ve been sitting there too long? Instead of being plump and juicy, they’re shriveled, soft, maybe even a little sour. They’re still grapes—but they’ve lost the life and freshness they once had.
Nothing dramatic happened. No one crushed them. They simply sat… disconnected from their source of life for too long.
Jesus uses this same picture in John 15. He tells us He is the vine and we are the branches. Life, strength, and fruitfulness only flow when we stay connected to Him. When we drift—too busy to pray, too distracted to listen, too tired to open His Word—we may not notice it right away. But slowly, like grapes in the fridge, our joy fades, our patience shrinks, and our spiritual flavor changes.
Abiding isn’t about doing more; it’s about staying close. It’s choosing daily connection over slow separation.
| Reflect on |
Where have I been “disconnected and stored away” instead of staying connected to Jesus?
What helps me abide (remain) in Jesus— prayer, Scripture, worship, quiet moments?
What kind of fruit is my life producing right now?
Jesus doesn’t just want us to survive; He wants us to stay fresh, full, and fruitful through a relationship with Him. He offers peace, joy, redemption and restoration regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in this season.
| Clearing The Table- Prayer |
Lord Jesus,
You are the true Vine, and I want to stay connected to You.
Forgive me for the ways I drift, grow distracted, or try to live on yesterday’s faith.
Refresh my heart today.
Teach me how to abide — to remain close, dependent, and joyful in You.
Let my life produce fruit that reflects Your love to others.
In Your name,
Amen.
