Finding True Happiness Through Holiness: Lessons from Psalm 1 explores the counterintuitive biblical principle that real joy comes through holy living. Discover why many people mistakenly view God's commands as happiness-restricting rather than life-giving. Learn how sin progresses gradually in our lives—from walking in wrong advice to standing with sinners to sitting with mockers—and how this pattern leads us away from true contentment. This message unpacks practical strategies for overcoming temptation: defining biblical boundaries before temptation strikes, recognizing the supernatural power available to believers, and knowing when to run from compromising situations. If you're tired of chasing happiness through wealth, possessions, or relationships only to feel empty, this message reveals the path to lasting fulfillment through alignment with God's design. Perfect for Christians struggling with temptation, those feeling spiritually stuck, or anyone questioning whether following God's ways actually leads to happiness.
