Joy: Happiness of the Heart

Every Christian would like to become more joyful. The New Testament even commands us to "rejoice always" (1 Thessalonians 5:16). So how do we cultivate a deep and resilient joy that will endure through all circumstances?

This Bible-study guide explores the biblical theme of joy, showing us what it is and where to find it. Each study is designed to last between 1 and 1.5 hours, but can alternatively be split into two sessions. It contains ideas for starter discussions and activities, optional "Explore more" sections that go deeper, and a focus on practical application. A substantial leader's guide is included in the back.
