Each year I was in elementary school. I loved going to class on my birthday. I thought it was so fun taking enough cupcakes to share with all my classmates that day. (Of course, today’s kids might be taking kale chips instead!)
In honor of the birthday of my first LifeWay Bible study, What Matters Most:A Study of Philippians I am handing out a few digital cupcakes to all of you today. I am also giving one person a grand prize package full of items to enable them to host a group of at least four friends for a Philippians study and some French press coffee!! (I’ll take mine with a splash of cream, please.)
First, a bit about the study…
This world is full of trials, disappointments, temptations, fractured friendships, and financial hardships. However, the apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians claims that we can stop letting life knock the joy right out of us by discovering the secret to contentment—a life lived with Jesus as our first priority.
In What Matters Most, you’ll get to know Jesus on a deeper level, turn your worries into prayers, and develop gospel-centered tools for navigating relational conflict. It is available to order at Proverbs 31 Ministries, LifeWay, and Amazon. (There is are teaching videos available and they are strongly recommended but the study is designed to be used alone as well. The videos are on DVD and also available as downloads.)
NOTE: The best price is at Proverbs 31 and LifeWay. If you purchase at Proverbs 31, I have another special bonus PDF of spiritual life management tool for you as a thank you for supporting our ministry.
And now……for the digital cupcakes!!
I’m handing out two free treats today.
First, if you are the sort who likes to decorate up your social media accounts, here is a shareable image with one of the teaching points from the study. It is one I remind myself of often. Take those worries and turn them into prayers!
Next. I’m giving you all a free PDF of delicious recipes from the area of Macedonia (Greece) where the ancient city of Philippi was located. A few are from my niece Krystan whose family is from Greece. There is an appetizer, some main dishes, and a few sweets including Greek honey dumplings called Loukoumades. Just click HERE to download.

I would love to use this as a Bible study for my church secret sister group. Also my favorite “hot” drink is Cappuccino!! ??
The grand prize of the books I will send to the women work camp along with mines so they can do the group studies.
I love a white chocolate raspberry frappe while doing Bible study
Plain hot coffee, too much and probably too often. Enjoying this online Bible study. Thank you for all your work.
Wow look at God working here! ..love drinking coffee with hazenut during my Jesus time.. The neighborhood women would love this study!
My favorite beverage is Chai Latte. I would use the grand prize in my Connect Group. Instead of mid-week service, we have Connect Groups about certain topics. I have never lead one, but God whispered to me that I should dive in and do it. So I will be leading a Bible Journaling Connect Group in June & July. I’m scared but at the same time very excited. I love your study videos! They are a fantastic addition to the book!
My favorite hot drink is coffee. I would use it for or first oficial women’s bible study at church!
My favorite hot drink is hot chocolate with whipped cream. Yum! Would love to do this study!
If I were to win the grand prize, I would share it with my closest Mom friends. My hot beverage of choice is a rich and creamy hot chocolate.
My favorite hot beverage is decaf coffee or Chia tea. If I won the grand prize I would have a Bible study with a few friends .
Hot tea, a lot of different flavors and if it’s a good loose tea, can be made in the French press or hot cocoa. I would use the study to help the ladies at our Mission church grow closer to God and each other.
My favorite hot drink is a chai tea latte. I would us this study in my existing group of Bible study gals. We just finished a study and are looking for a new one. We get together on Wednesdays and have coffee and desserts first so this would be perfect. There is nothing better than studying God’s word with friends! Thank you for being obedient to God in writing this study. God bless!
My favorite hot drink is actually hot chocolate, I am not a fan of coffee, but my sisters are and I thought this could be a great study for my mom and 3 sisters and I. We lost my brother in law in a tragic accident a few months ago and a the Lord is really helping get my sister get through this time and a study about Philippians, a book about joy would be wonderful
My year around favorite is a skinny vanilla latte but come fall, I will enjoy some pumpkin spice lattes. I would invite some friends to do this Bible study with me. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love a strong bold flavour coffee. There are 5 of us ladies at work who would love to do the study. I already signed up and purchased the whole set and DVDs as I would like to teach ladies in my neighbourhood and start a bible study.
Yasmen
My favorite hot beverage is peppermint tea, but I love an iced carmel mocchiato on occasion!
My fave hot beverage is a non-fat half syrup caramel macchiato.
Hazelnut creamer with expresso
Vanilla hot chocolate is my favorite hot drink. I know just the friends to study this with and I think they would all love it!
Hi my Sisters in Christ! I can always slow down for a delish vanilla latte with friends. I would love to use this gift to invite the small group of volunteers who are launching a wonderful program to come along side young moms who are turning to the Lord. This group is dedicated to teaching life skills and accountability for the young moms and their babies. The childcare and housing needs are great but Our God is Greater. This group needs encouragement and to fill their cup with pray. God bless!
My favorite hot drink is Dark Chocolate Raspberry Coffee with a little bit of cream and Stevia. Yummy!
My favorite coffee drink is a mocha latte. I would use this study with my daughter and other mother/daughter friends. What a sweet way to learn, grow and share.
Espresso
My favorite hot beverage is regular hot coffee with flavored creamer!
I’d use the steady with my sister in laws and one of my best friends!
My favorite is Mexican Hot Chocolate…Oh My GOSH~ We live in a small town and it would be nice to gather some ladies from the community and use this bible study as an outreach. There are only 2 churches here Unity and Catholic. This is great way to open the doors for fellowship and sharing the Lord.
