Message by Josh Mutter – February 9, 2025

BIG IDEA:  Happy people systematically give their lives away.

 

OBSERVATION 1:  We will be unhappy when we are consumed with ourselves.

OBSERVATION 2:  We can serve and volunteer our way to happiness.

 

1. Selfishness will not lead to happiness.

Galatians 5:19-21 (NIV)  The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

2. Selflessness will lead to happiness.

Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
