Colossians, 2 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, Titus, and Philippians:
There are 4 studies in the “Growing in Godliness” series. These studies cover several of Paul’s letters that will teach you how to grow in godliness. Godliness is devotion to God expressed in a life pleasing to Him. That involves recognizing truth and standing firm in it. It also involves learning how to live in dependence on Christ more than on yourself. The result is growing in godliness and experiencing joy.
We recommend that you start with the first book in the series and work through the study guides in sequential order. That makes it easy to decide what to do next. Yet, you can still do them individually and not miss anything.
