""You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand" Psalm 16:11."

While we often pursue many avenues to obtain happiness, God says if we will pursue intimacy with Him, we will have joy. The Ultimate Joy is a twelve-week study which not only digs deeply into the truths of Scripture concerning God's pursuit of intimacy with you, but leads you in your own journey into it. We will study God's astounding invitation to intimacy. We'll learn practical steps to follow in pursuing Him, as well as how to overcome barriers to intimacy with God. As a result, you'll learn how to live in His presence and experience the joy-filled life He created you to live. After all, God designed us for it He calls us to it; the Psalmist says we should long for it; Jesus prayed we would have it. Let there be no doubt-God wants an intimate relationship with you. If you will seek Him, God will lead you on this journey in intimacy with Him.

"The Ultimate Joy" can be used for individual or group study.
