Joy often seems unattainable in times of uncertainty and difficulty. The Bible, however, promises believers a lasting joy from the Lord greater than our circumstances. If you desire to experience joy even in the face of challenges, I invite you to our next video Bible Study series through the book of Philippians called “Relentless Joy.”
The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Philippians at a time of considerable uncertainty. He was in prison and not sure if he would live or die. However, Paul did not write to the Philippians to complain about his situation. He wrote to gush over how joyful he was in Christ, as well as to convey his hope for the Philippians to experience this same joy. For every reason Paul had to be discouraged, he relentlessly found more reasons to be joyful.
Throughout this study, we’ll cover the difference between lasting joy and temporary happiness, how to fight for your joy, and how to make the joy of the Lord your strength.
Find the strength to fight for your joy today by starting our “Relentless Joy” Bible study!
