Sermon Scripture: Matthew 6:19-24

As Americans, we live in a nation that was founded on three ideals: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—and yet, ironically we are one of the unhappiest nations in the world. It turns out that many of the things that we think will make us happy, actually don’t. And “the good life” we’re all searching for is often found in the places we least expect.

Acts 20:35 recorded one of the things that Jesus’s disciples likely heard him say over and over again, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” 

If you take an objective look at the empirical evidence, it’s clear that our American, western formula of “more money = more happiness” is simply not true. Instead, it really seems that Jesus’s formula of “more generosity = more happiness” is the pathway to a happy life.
