Hi friends,

Rachael here! I have absolutely loved getting to walk through the Flourish study with you this week. We just wrapped up Week Three on Joy. If you’ve been following along with us, we spent the week digging into the Word and seeing how joy plays out in the life of believer – whether our circumstances warrant it or not. The joy of a believer is rooted in the Gospel, it’s grace realized, it’s a heart of gratitude that can worship the goodness of God even when our situation is less-than we hoped for. The joy of the LORD is our strength, not our own self-reliance or determination. We can rejoice always through this understanding!

If you would like to follow along and don’t have a copy of the study, we are posting the key verses for each week. This week we will look at Peace. Here are the passages we’ll be studying:
