Dear Sister,
Does it ever feel like the kingdom of this world is falling apart at the seams? Leaders you once trusted are exposed for moral failures, unexpected cancer diagnoses are given, the stock market crashes and so does your bank account, an unpredictable storm ravages homes and lives, the betrayal of a loved one shatters your trust—and you’re left in a haze of grief and uncertainty wondering, Is God still in control?
You may have grown up in church singing hymns about the strength and hope we have in God, or you may have grown up believing God is nonexistent, unloving, or uninvolved in the lives of his people and the state of this world. The struggles of your heart against sin may leave you feeling utterly defeated, wondering if you truly have any place in his kingdom. No matter your background, what you believe about God and his kingdom and the kingdom of this world shapes how you live, causing you to either follow the ways of the Servant King or succumb to the perishable ways of this world.
God is Still King
Defining and identifying the kingdom of God from Genesis to Revelation has shown me that God does indeed have a much bigger plan for these days we live on earth. Though we live in a fallen world that is ravaged by sin, God is still King, and one day his power will destroy sin and he will eternally rule over his people in his place. This truth impacts everything, from the thoughts of our hearts to the actions of our hands.
The kingdom of God is both a comfort and a conviction to the people of God. We’re comforted as we look to our sovereign, almighty King, and we’re convicted as we repent of our sins and submit to his reign. May we seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, believing with full assurance that his kingdom is forever.
Crowning him King of kings,
Gretchen Saffles
Founder and author of Crown Him King

What is this study about? What book of the Bible
does it cover?
The study covers the concept of the kingdom of God as it unfolds throughout all of Scripture. You’ll study and trace the kingdom from selected passages from Genesis 1 all the way through Revelation 22. Like an unbreakable chain, this framework helps us understand who God is, who we are, and what his eternal purposes are as revealed to us in both the Old and New Testaments.
How long is the study?
This study is seven weeks long. Each week includes five days of study plus a weekend reflection.
Can I do this study with a group?
Yes! We have a free downloadable leader guide available for you to use to study with women in your local community. The leader guide walks you through how to facilitate discussion each week. There is also a weekly memory verse your group could memorize together.
Will we be going through the study in the Facebook Community Group?
Yes! We’d love for you to join us in the Facebook Community Group. We’ll start reading together the week of September 26!
Why should I get the Crown Him King Verse Cards?
The verse card set perfectly accompanies the study! The cards correspond to the weekly memory verse so you can use them to help you stay on track with your Scripture memory goals and keep God’s Word fresh on your mind throughout the day.
What do the symbols on the bookmark mean?
The bookmark symbols correspond with the symbols you'll find inside the study. They instruct you to engage in daily prayer and application and weekly reflection and help you remember and track the three components of the kingdom of God—the King's power, the King's people, and the King's place. Use the bookmark to keep your place in your study or Bible, remind you of what the symbols mean, and help you trace the components of the kingdom of God throughout Scripture.
What content do the kids cards cover?
These cards teach kids the concepts you’ll be learning in the women’s study at an age-appropriate level, simply by playing either Memory or Go Fish! Each pair of cards includes a Bible verse and a question to help understand or apply that verse, so every time someone makes a match, you have the opportunity to learn about God’s kingdom together.
Are there instructions for how to play the kids
card games?
Yes, each set of cards comes with two instructional cards that explain how to use the set to play Memory or Go Fish.
How do I use the kids cards alongside the study?
Each card includes teaching on the same themes you’ll be learning about in the study. As you work through your study, find time to play these card games with your children to learn about God’s kingdom together!
Do I have to do the Crown Him King study to use
the kids cards?
These cards can work as a stand-alone product. However, they’re designed to help women share with their children from the overflow of what they’re learning in the study.
Will I need anything else to play the kids card games?
All Bible verses are included on the cards, so all you need is the card set.
What age are the kids cards meant for?
You can use these cards with kids as young as preschool-aged (with a parent’s help facilitating matches and discussion), or kids in elementary school can play on their own. With both versions of the game, you can customize it for your family by adjusting how much content is read each turn. You can read every card, some cards, or just match the symbols.

Are there plans for any videos to go
Along with the new study?
Hey, friend! We won’t have videos, but we’ll be going through the study in our Facebook Community Group starting September 26, 2022!
I miss the videos along with the bible studies. I really looked forward to watching.
Hi Liz! Our team is currently in a season when all our teachers are busy with new babies, so it’s difficult to sit down and film teaching videos. 🙂 BUT! We hope to do more teaching videos in the future to accompany our studies. We’re so glad you’ve liked them in the past and look forward to when we can provide them down the road!
What if you don’t have Facebook?
Hi, friend! Facebook is where we will be going through the study as a community group, so if you’d like you could create a page only for participation in the study!
