Finding Happiness: An All Church Bible Study

Created by Erin Skewes and Pastor Joel Cramer

A four-week series based on a 2024 Global Leadership Summit presentation by Arthur Brooks. Arthur Brookes is a very engaging speaker who has some great videos on YouTube. His classes at Harvard Business School are booked out each year, and as a Catholic, he points us to the value of faith and family.

The messages in this series speak from a Lutheran understanding of vocation, grace and the saint-sinner tension. The bible study encourages church members to read the bible and share their own personal experiences.

This study has been used at the The Ark Salisbury Lutheran Church, South Australia and St Paul's Lutheran Church in Wellington, New Zealand.

'Finding Happiness: An All Church Bible Study' is now available for you to implement at your own congregation, complete with four video sermons, study booklets and worship resources.
