Searching For Happiness

Dec 3, 2023    Owen Mason

In the sermon titled "Searching For Happiness" based on Matthew 5:3-12, we will explore the pursuit of true happiness as outlined by Jesus in the Beatitudes. The sermon begins by debunking the popular misconception of happiness tied to external circumstances, as seen in Ecclesiastes 2:1-17, highlighting dead ends in accumulating possessions, indulging in pleasures, and achieving success. Contrasting this, the sermon then delves into God's way to happiness, emphasizing the importance of having the right attitude, as outlined in Matthew 5:3-12. The first step towards happiness is identified as humility, with insights on how humility reduces stress, improves relationships, and unleashes God's power, supported by relevant scriptures such as James 4:6 and John 13:17.
