The first week of our Virtue Summer Series Bible study was quite a success. For those of you who missed it, we had a time of fellowship, a lovely time of worship, and a message I gave on the subject of Discovering Your Design, which I hope was encouraging. Then we broke up into groups and had a brief time together for discussion and getting to know each other.
The children had a great time with their teachers, enjoying the music, crafts, Bible lessons, and snacks too!
We are diligently praying for all of you and look forward to seeing you next week!

Hi there! I’m really enjoying our Virtue Bible study and the first 2 weeks have been a real blessing. I’m looking forward to the next 2 weeks (I can’t believe it’s almost done!). :) Blessings!
I LOVE IT! I am so grateful and blessed for this ministry. I wish I could make it out to the OC for this study, but I am over-joyed that I can still partake in the blessings via web cast. This is the perfect hors d’ oeuvre until Thursdays Womens Bible Study starts back up. I am delighted that you are teaching on the Proverbs 31 woman. I first heard of “her” in a christian book for women and it mentioned this chapter in the Bible. I sadly had never heard of this before. I thank God that you are responding to the call set by God to teach us about being a real women of God! Peace, Blessings, and Prayer for you.
Cathe,
I’m so glad to see the site up and I can’t wait to get started on reading the bible study! What a tremendous blessing from the Lord this site is going to be to so many women.
Dear Cathe,
I recently just moved to Pennsylvania and I had no church to go to. I was so discouraged and disappointed. I can’t drive yet and my mom is always working so she has no time to take me to church. I was in prayer asking God to find a church for me to go to. I started to listen to the bible studies from Calvary Chapel online and they’ve been such a blessing. I wake up in the morning and I’m so hungry for the word of God. It’s such a blessing to be able to go on the computer and listen to such wonderful messages and testimonies. I’m so blessed by them. God has been speaking to my heart a lot through them. I hope that one day I will become a virtuous woman for Jesus. Thank you and I pray God will continue to bless this ministry. With much love, Kathy.
Dear Cathe, I can truly see the Lord’s hand in Pastor Greg’s life by blessing him with such a Wonderful wife, Mother, Sister, Friend & now an Awesome Speaker! I am a Harvest Partner but due to my work schedule can’t always make it out to Riverside. What a blessing to be able to watch Church and yourself online. Everyday I am trying to be a Virtuous woman, such as yourself. It’s wonderful the way you speak to us from a Woman’s perspective. I appreciate your wisdom & hunger for more. I hope you have more programs for Women @ Harvest. Thank you, Your Sister in Christ. God’s blessings. Debra
I love this series and the new website! I will be back often.
I so thank God for His faithfulness to us. I’m so excited to see this website!!! I’ve been checking in from time to time to see what’s happening. It gives me a way to plug in when I am not able to physically be apart of bible studies and fellowship. Harvest is like going the one of the best hospitals available for our spiritual and emotional healing and health. A safe place you can trust is faithful to the things of God. I went through sessions of ‘prayer & share’ that help me keep on track with God and continue to trust Him in hard times. I so wanted to go through the ‘prayer & share’ classes held recently but didn’t have the freedom or means to do so. I feed on different pastors websites to help and encourage me. I look forward to this site to help strengthen and encourage me. For those who can’t be apart of a study physically this is perfect, at what ever time of the day that works for them. Thank you! May God continue to bless you as you continue to bless others. Enjoy today always. Love & Smiles
Thank you for the beautiful stories and your time. I would like to thank God for his daughter of God. He always knows who to send to his children.
Great study. I think what I like the most is how God is using your knowledge of his word and warm presentation style to impact the lives of women (girls). I particularly like how God is allowing you to start at ground zero – “the fear of the Lord is the being of wisdom” when exploring Proverbs 31. I thank God for seeing the need and providing this study. My prayers are with you and your family.
P.S. Great color scheme for series – soft, cheerful and feminine.
Hi Cathie!
I just wanted to say thank you for providing us with this awesome website filled with so many amazing resources. It’s so hard to find an online environment that actually reflects you as a Christian woman that you
enjoy returning to. Your warmth and wisdom also comes across so clearly – we are so blessed to hear what God has been teaching you.
I can’t wait to see more!
Blessings,
Anna Marie
Dear Cathe
We had a teaching this year in our women’s bible group and Calvary Brea of the women of the bible… I have to say your teaching was the cherry on top of what I have learned this past year. I cannot wait to share your teaching with all the women at my church.
Keep up the good work.
P.S.- Tell Greg to stop complaining about women drivers, LOL… that always cracks me up.
God Bless you and your house and this ministry! I am looking forward to more.
Take care,
Michelle
Really enjoyed all of the messages. Wished that the last one had a video. Very good words! God is so good. Will return for further studies. Thanks for this site. May God continue to bless you and Greg.
Oh Cathe, how I wish I was part of your family… Thank you for sharing your heart and making me apart of your family for just a short time.

I’m so glad to have found this study! I’ve been working my way through understanding this scripture for several years as I spin & weave & knit & sew for my family. I even have my very own small vineyard.
Is there a way to download the audio to an MP3 player? I’d love to be able to listen to this away from my computer.
Thank you so much for sharing yourself & Greg with us!
Great idea! We’ve created a Virtue podcast you can subscribe to on iTunes, or you can get the mp3 files from an RSS feed.

Hello,
I am looking for a Proverbs 31 Bible study to complete this summer. Could you please recommend one? There are many out there, but I want to grow this summer so I would like one that will help me explore this Chapter to the fullest.
Thank you for your help,
Rebecca Lopez
I recently discovered the series of podcasts on iTunes.
I have begun listening to Romans, but see that now these are not on the site in .pdf format.
Would there be any way of getting copies of the older notes for reference? (dated late 2007; early 2008).
I am so grateful that these are available online, and that I can listen to them daily. What a blessing God has provided.
Hi Constance,
You can find the older studies here:

If you scroll down you’ll see a drop down menu for “archived lessons.” Glad you are enjoying the studies!
Thank you for your devotion to teaching God’s word! You are a blessing to me! It’s funny… I listen to Pastor Greg in the morning on my way to work and you in the evening!!!! I feel like I know you both!!!
Love from Newburgh, New York,
Robin
Lots of “aha” moments. Thank you so much. So much.
Thank you so much for this website and the wonderful teachings. I so needed to hear the one on Marriage from last years teaching. I have been wanting to start a womens bible study at my house, if you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks from Uvalde, Texas
Hi Cathe, This morning, after I heard Pastor Greg on my App, as I do everyday, I hear about Virtue. I decided to check it out. As I was looking trough the web page, I saw the teaching on Proverbs 31 and said let me see what is in there for me. That was the best decision I made this morning. My life is a mess and I am totally lost right now. I don’t love my husband enough to continue this marriage, and I am not having control over my actions. I was thinking of giving up on my faith, but by God’s mercy and grace I heard your words and it encouraged me. It filled up my heart again… I know it is hard, but I will take the Lord’s hand and continue to walk with Him. I will also make some changes with His help. I am sure I will be with Him at the end!
I just want you to know that you are still changing people’s lives with this website. I found it by mistake, but I have been so blessed already and have only completed week one. Thank you!!
