Joy Lenten Studies 2026 provides a study of joy, helping us to navigate the Lenten period of penitence and preparation for Easter. Christians ought to be people of joy. Joy because we are grounded in gospel grace, in Christ, in an assured destiny with God. Joy, because through Christian joy, others may be attracted to our glorious God.
The daily readings cover Joy from God, his presence, creation and redemption in the Old Testament. Joy specifically in the Psalms. Joy amid suffering from various New Testament readings. Joy in the Letter to the Philippians, over two weeks, and covering the whole letter. We recognise not every passage in Philippians speaks of joy, but joy permeates the letter and provides its essential context, as Paul writes from prison. Finally, Holy Week picks up Jesus’ final night speaking with the disciples on the theme of joy, and looking ahead to the vision of the Book of Revelation for its climactic joy.
Edited by Bishop Paul Barker.
