COURSE DESCRIPTION
In an era marked by frustration, could you use more contentment? In a world filled with anxieties, worries, and fears, could you stand to have a bit more joy? This course is designed to teach students how to have joy and contentment in life. The book of Philippians was written while The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead, he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. Paul’s confidence reminds us of God’s wisdom and control in the difficult moments of life. His excitement challenges us to walk in joy and contentment.
