About this sermon

Are you waiting for people, money, success, or circumstances to finally make you happy? Ed Lapiz reveals why lasting happiness must be rooted in God rather than in things we cannot control. Through Psalm 138, he shares powerful reasons to rejoice: God is loving and faithful, keeps His promises, answers prayer, gives courage, cares for the humble, protects His people, and never stops loving them. But happiness is also something you practice. Praise God, count your blessings, accept yourself, build genuine relationships, help those in need, and become what Ed Lapiz calls a “happiness factory.” Stop depending entirely on others to create your joy. Put God first and use your life to bring happiness to the people around you. #EdLapiz #Happiness #ChristianLiving #Joy #PutGodFirst
