Every Nation Church Las Vegas — "Doesn’t God Want Me to Be Happy?"

"Doesn’t God Want Me to Be Happy?"

2018_10_21 - #TRENDING - Doesn’t God Want Me to Be Happy?
Pastor Roland Gray

12 May all who are godly be happy in the Lord and praise his holy name.
- Psalm 97:12 (NLT)

The Little Picture (Based on our years in life)

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
- Mark 8:36-38 (KJV)

The Big Picture (Timeless; Based on Eternity)

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life[a]—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
- 1 John 2:15-17 (ESV)

God doesn’t want us happy. He wants us blessed!

14 Obey God because you are his children; don’t slip back into your old ways—doing evil because you knew no better. 15 But be holy now in everything you do, just as the Lord is holy, who invited you to be his child. 16 He himself has said, “You must be holy, for I am holy.”
- 1 Peter 1:14-16 (TLB)

4 Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
- Psalm 37:4 (ESV)
