How to Be Happy, Part 2 | Sunday Message

About this sermon

Pastor Greg Laurie continues covering The Beatitudes, where we see what the actions of happy people look like.  Notes: Matthew 5 The Sermon on the Mount is only for Christians Happy are the humble Happy people are "unhappy" people A happy person will be a meek person A happy person passionately desires a righteous life Read Matthew 5:7 Point #1: Happy people are merciful people Extend God's mercy toward you to others; forgiven people should be forgiving people Read Matthew 5:8 Point #2: A happy person will be a holy person Pure in heart = whole being is directed toward God. To be single (single eye), or pure in heart, means to have a single focus on Jesus Christ. Read Matthew 5:9 Point #3: A happy person will be a peacemaker If you're a Christian, you're a son or daughter of God Read: Matthew 5:10 Point #4: A happy person will be persecuted  If you want to be a happy person, you're going to be a persecuted person If persecuted, rejoice (Matthew 5:12) Let persecution be for righteousness sake God can work through persecution It's not easy to be a Christian. It takes courage. But Jesus Christ is worth not only living for, but dying for. It's worth it! A relationship with God will bring you happiness. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org (https://harvest.org/) .
