I am beyond thrilled you decided to join me for the next six weeks. Are you ready to begin? Let’s get started!

Remember, this is YOUR Bible study which means you get to work at your own pace. But we have tons of help to keep you on track!

It would be great to record your answers to these in a study notebook or journal. Then you’ll have a record of how you’ve progressed and how God has worked in your life during the study.

And finally, we have a special “Let’s Chat” section where we’ll give you some questions to do on your own and/or write in the comment section here on the blog so we can learn from each other, share, and discuss.

Everyone who participates in the “Let’s Chat” by sharing about it in the comment section will be entered to win a FREE copy of Twelve Women of the Bible!

There are three parts to the “Let’s Chat” section. Here’s a description to explain each:
Observe — This will be a simple question that won’t require much digging to get the answer. Each person’s answer to this question will vary depending on their life and circumstance.

Bible — Here’s where we’ll be getting our Bibles out and digging into some of the verses and passages either referred to in the book or that go well with our study. This is also where you will often see some of my favorite Bible Study Skills from the past.

Stretch — You’ll find your Live-It-Out challenges here. We want these to stretch you beyond your normal comfort zone. We also invite you to share them on social media to show others and challenge them to Live-It-Out!

Remember to check this blog or your email tomorrow for more of what we'll be doing this week!

JOY!

  Thank You Lord for the joy that gives me strength.  Definition if Joy - a feeling of great pleasure and happiness; emotion evoked by well-being, success or good fortune.

Galatians 5:22-23   “Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!” Nehemiah‬ ‭8:10‬b‬‬ “You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’” Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭28‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Joy is something that goes much deeper than happiness. Happiness is a mental or emotional state. Joy is what causes you to be happy. Joy is the source of our strength according to God’s Word. That source is the Lord. God doesn't just want us to be happy. Happiness comes and goes but joy comes from the Lord. Today let’s thank God that our strength comes from the joy of the Lord and not the happiness found in this world. If yo...

    Advent Season started November 30th 2025 and ends December 24 th , 2025   Advent means the coming of Christ /period leading up to Christmas. It is the first season of the Christian Church year. On each of the four Sundays preceding Christmas, an Advent candle is lit. The 4 candles of Advent are Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace, representing the virtues Jesus brought us. The 4 candles are arranged on a circular Advent wreath, with no beginning or end, reminding us of the eternity of God's love and the everlasting love we find in Jesus.    Together the Advent candles are a reminder of God's promise to us of salvation through Christ.   The first candle purple -Hope(can be called the Prophesy Candle) symbolizes a shining light in anticipation of the coming of Christ and represents God's forgiveness of man's sins.   The second candle-Love is usually purple or violet.
