How to Be Happy, Part 1 | Sunday Message

How to Be Happy, Part 1 | Sunday Message

Some people look for happiness in relationships, money, or shopping. Where do you look? Hint: If it's not to God, that's the wrong place! Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us that true happiness can only be found in a relationship with our Creator.

Notes:

"God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself because it's not there." —C. S. Lewis

Happiness comes from who you know, not what you have.

"...Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord" —Psalm 144:15

The Christian faith is a happy faith.

God wants you to be happy, contrary to popular belief.

Angels brought good news that brings joy (Luke 2:10).

God Himself is happy.

Christians will still face tragedy.

God's definition of happiness is different than ours.

Biblical world-view: The Bible should change the way you see things.

Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1). Jesus gave it to His disciples, not the multitudes; only Christians can live by this sermon.

First 4 beatitudes deal with our relationship with God, the other 4 deal with our relationships with others.

Blessed = happy.

Read Matthew 5:2–9.

Point #1: God wants you to be blessed and happy.

Point #2: Happy people are humble people.

Point #3: Happy people are "unhappy people."

Point #4: A happy person will be a meek person.

Point #5: A happy person passionately desires a righteous life.

The only way to be a happy person is to know God. Not by chasing happiness, but by knowing God.
