Matthew 20:17-28 - (Joy in Suffering)

Pastor Sam concludes the sermon series "The Pursuit of Happy" by emphasizing that true fulfillment and a good life come not from worldly pleasures or achievements, but from a deep connection with God and serving His Kingdom. He highlights that happiness is fleeting, while a meaningful life is found through sacrifice, humility, and service to others, mirroring the life of Jesus who came to serve, not to be served. By referencing Matthew 20, Pastor Sam explains that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is achieved by serving others rather than seeking power, urging the congregation to embrace a life that prioritizes others' well-being over personal gain. Ultimately, he calls for a commitment to living out these values through active participation in the church community, discipleship, and sharing the Good News, thereby finding genuine fulfillment in Christ.
