"Choose Joy" is based on Paul's letter to the Philippians - a book that is commonly known as a treatise on joy. The counsel Paul gives us in this letter comes from his experiences; it is his personal testimony to God's provision. Paul's trust in Christ got him through situations most of us could not begin to imagine. That same trust that got Paul through his storms can get you and me through ours. As you spend time in Paul's letter to the Philippians you will come to realize that joy is not a response to life's circumstances rather it is what gets us through life when our world is falling apart. And, you will come to understand that joy doesn't just happen, it is a choice.

God tells us in Isaiah that His thoughts are not our thoughts and our ways are not His ways. If we want to know His thoughts and His ways, we have to study His word. Paul wanted the early church to have all the knowledge they would need to live the victorious Christian life. In his letter to the Ephesians, he gives them, and us, instruction in how to apply God's word to every area of life; He taught them what it means to be a Christian. What It Means To Be A Christian is a 12 week bible study from the book of Ephesians, written specifically with women in mind. In this study you will discover who you are in Christ,who Christ is in you, and how you can live the victorious Christian life.

Never Thirst Again is more than a study; it's a journey that began 2,000 years ago with a woman at a well in Samaria. The journey comes full circle today, as we gather with Jesus at that same well, drink deeply from the water that He offers, and discover what it means to have our thirst forever quenched.
