In Pursuit of Happiness

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches that true happiness, or blessedness, is a deep, enduring state of well-being rooted in following God's ways rather than fleeting worldly pleasures. He emphasizes the importance of walking the right path, rejoicing in God's forgiveness, caring for others, dwelling in God's house, and relying on the Lord's strength. This blessedness is contrasted with the unstable life of the ungodly and is accessible to all who are chosen and drawn by God. The sermon draws extensively from Psalms and Proverbs to illustrate these truths.
