God Wants You Happy

from oneChurch.tv · host CJ Gonzalez

Everyone wants to be happy. It’s built into us. But the problem comes when our pursuit of happiness leads us away from holiness. Culture tells us, “Do what makes you happy,” but Jesus never said that. He didn’t die on the cross to make us comfortable—He came to make us holy, whole, and free. When we chase happiness at all costs, we settle for momentary pleasure instead of eternal purpose. This week, we’ll look at one of the most powerful stories in Scripture—when Jesus meets a woman caught in adultery—and discover that the path to true joy is not through self-gratification but through surrender and grace.THE BIG IDEA: Holiness is the pathway to true happiness and joy.
