🌞 July Theme: Living With Joy

Finding Strength, Peace, and Gratitude in Every Season

✨ Weekend Bible Study – July 3rd, 4th & 5th, 2026

🌻 Joy That Cannot Be Stolen

🕊 Key Scripture (KJV)

"These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."— John 15:11

🌿 Friday – July 3rd

🌻 Finding Joy in God's Goodness

Sometimes we search for joy in all the wrong places.

We think joy comes from perfect circumstances, more possessions, or easier days.

But true joy is found in recognizing God's goodness all around us.

Take a moment today and notice:

✨ The beauty of creation.

✨ The love of family and friends.

✨ The gift of another day.

✨ The faithfulness of God.

Every good thing comes from Him.

And the more we recognize His goodness…

🌿 The more joy fills our hearts.

🌿 Truth for Today:

Joy grows when we focus on God's goodness.

🌿 Saturday – July 4th

🌻 Rejoicing in the Freedom We Have in Christ

As we celebrate Independence Day, we are reminded of the blessings of freedom.

But there is an even greater freedom we have as believers.

Through Jesus Christ:

✨ We are forgiven.

✨ We are redeemed.

✨ We are loved.

✨ We are free from condemnation.

No earthly freedom compares to the freedom found in Christ.

And because of that freedom…

🌿 We have every reason to rejoice.

No matter what challenges come our way, our greatest victory has already been won.

🌿 Truth for Today:

The greatest freedom we have is found in Jesus.

🌿 Sunday – July 5th

🌻 Joy Through Every Season

Life is filled with changing seasons.

There are mountaintops and valleys.

Times of celebration and times of sorrow.

Yet through every season, God remains the same.

His love never changes.

His promises never fail.

His mercy is new every morning.

Because our joy is rooted in Him, we can experience peace even during difficult times.

🌿 Circumstances may change…

But Christ remains faithful.

And that is a reason to rejoice every day.

🌿 Truth for Today:

Joy anchored in Christ can weather every season.

🙏 Weekend Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the joy that comes from knowing You.

Thank You for Your goodness, Your faithfulness, and the freedom we have through Jesus Christ.

Help us to live with grateful hearts and to rejoice in every season.

May our joy be rooted in Your love and not in our circumstances.

Fill us with peace, hope, and gratitude as we walk with You each day.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.

✍️ Weekend Reflection Questions

• What blessings am I most thankful for this weekend?

• How has God's goodness been evident in my life?

• What freedom has Jesus given me that I can celebrate today?

🌿 Weekend Challenge

Spend time this weekend thanking God for five specific blessings in your life.

Then share His goodness with someone else through an encouraging word, a prayer, or an act of kindness.

✨ Weekend Encouragement

Joy is not found in perfect circumstances.

🌿 Joy is found in a perfect Savior.

And because Christ lives within you…

💜 You possess a joy that the world cannot give—and cannot take away.

Oh, Sarah, I think that's a beautiful direction for August. 💜 After spending July learning to Live With Joy, August could naturally become a month of slowing down, noticing God's goodness, and cultivating gratitude. In a busy world, learning to recognize and appreciate God's daily blessings is a powerful spiritual discipline.

🌻 August Theme: Count Your Blessings

Seeing God's Goodness in Everyday Life

✨ Weekend Bible Study – August 1st & 2nd, 2026

🌿 Blessed Beyond Measure

🕊 Key Scripture (KJV)

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:"— Psalm 103:2

🌿 Saturday – August 1st

🌻 The Blessing of a New Month

🕊 Scripture

"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."— Psalm 118:24

💎 Devotional Thought

Welcome to August!

As we begin a new month together, it is easy to focus on what we hope God will do.

But before we look ahead…

Let's pause and remember what He has already done.

🌿 He has carried us through another month.

🌿 He has provided for our needs.

🌿 He has given us grace for each day.

🌿 He has remained faithful through every season.

Sometimes we overlook the blessings that surround us because we are so focused on what is still missing.

But God invites us to slow down and recognize His goodness.

A new month is a blessing.

A new day is a blessing.

Another opportunity to serve Him is a blessing.

And perhaps the greatest blessing of all…

✨ His presence is with us.

No matter what August holds, we can enter this month with grateful hearts because the God who brought us this far will continue to lead us forward.

🌿 Truth for Today

Every new day is evidence of God's faithfulness.

🙏 Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bringing us safely into a new month.

Help us to recognize the blessings that surround us and to never take Your goodness for granted.

May our hearts overflow with gratitude as we walk with You throughout August.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.

🌿 Sunday – August 2nd

🌻 Don't Forget His Benefits

🕊 Scripture

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:"— Psalm 103:2

💎 Devotional Thought

Life moves quickly.

Responsibilities pile up.

Problems arise.

And before long, we can become so focused on our burdens that we forget our blessings.

David understood this struggle.

That's why he reminded himself:

✨ "Forget not all His benefits."

Remember:

🌿 His mercy.

🌿 His forgiveness.

🌿 His provision.

🌿 His protection.

🌿 His peace.

🌿 His love.

🌿 His salvation.

The enemy wants us to focus on what we lack.

But God wants us to remember all that we have in Him.

Gratitude changes our perspective.

When we begin counting our blessings, we discover that God's goodness has been surrounding us all along.

And often, the blessings we take for granted become the blessings we treasure the most.

🌿 Truth for Today

A grateful heart recognizes God's goodness everywhere.

🙏 Prayer

Lord, forgive me for the times I focus more on my problems than Your blessings.

Help me to remember Your faithfulness and to cultivate a heart of gratitude.

Teach me to appreciate the simple blessings You provide every day and to praise You for Your endless goodness.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
