Big Idea: Life, Liberty, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS is part of the basis of the founding of our country. Why is happiness and the Blessed life so elusive or so random, even falling on some people that don't deserve it. Well, the Bible turns the ideas behind modern happiness upside down. In this series, we'll examine Psalm 128 and New Testament teaching on happiness and how to have the Blessed Life.
This week, we'll explore The Gift of Happiness. In Christ, Happiness is a GIFT, before it's a PURSUIT.

Worship through Giving
God desire for us to give regularly, sacrificially, & cheerfully. Giving helps our hearts affections. Jesus said, "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" Luke 12:34. Giving also assures that the Gospel continues to spread through the Church (Ephesians 3:10).
