A study from Vince Baker Ministries
Why did Wigglesworth connect laughter with faith?
Genesis 21 describes Sarah’s laughter at Isaac’s birth after the long wait. Romans 4 highlights Abraham’s confidence in the God who made the promise. Read the two passages together to see the difference between the joy of receiving and the trust that grows while the answer is still ahead.
What does joy look like during trouble?
Philippians pairs rejoicing with bringing anxieties to God in prayer. The passage gives readers room to name what hurts, ask for help, and thank God for what He has already done. Choose one of those steps before returning to the quotes.
