This Year's Study...

We see the word "blessed" a lot in the Bible. So much so, we sometimes forget what it means. Blessed, especially in the Bible, is another word for "happy". Try substituting Happy for Blessed as you read verses.
For example:

"How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,

Whose hope is in the LORD his God," Psalm 146:5

Ultimately in life, we want to feel complete and satisfied. We seek this through many avenues: relationships, accomplishments, religion, etc. Then we measure our success by means that are not prescribed in the Bible: i.e. comparing ourselves to others, personal ideas of what we should be, adopting whatever idea of success that society tells us. The truth is that we will never be truly fulfilled unless we are right with God. Join us this year we will be exploring what it means to find contentment in Christ.
