8:30 am - The Bible Doesn't Say That - Pt. 6 - God Wants You To Be Happy

Jul 13, 2025    Pastor Jenny Zentz

Message Title: "God Wants You to Be Happy?"

1 Peter 1:14–16, 1 Peter 5:10, James 1:2–4


What if the real goal of the Christian life isn’t constant happiness…but holiness?


In this powerful message, Pastor Kevin unpacks the common cultural misconception that “God just wants me to be happy.” While God is a loving Father who delights in our joy, Scripture reveals that His greater desire is to make us holy—set apart, pure, and more like Christ.


Using practical examples and biblical insight, we explore the difference between fleeting happiness and sustaining joy, between short-term comfort and eternal character. From parenting and marriage to trials and temptation, this message will help you answer these critical questions:


What is holiness, and how do we become holy?


Why do trials play a role in spiritual growth?


What does it mean to choose holiness over happiness in real life?


If you’ve ever felt distant from happiness, this message is for you. Discover the joy that comes not from circumstance, but from Christ Himself.
