Our happiness is in You, oh
God
not in being powerful;
Separated from ourselves
in becoming humble
Not in the country where we
live,
our true independence;
Not in walking on our own
adrift in the world
Our happiness is in You, oh
God
not in being powerful;
Separated from ourselves
in becoming humble
Joy in being in community
loving our neighbor;
We offer them hope
when we offer them You

Peter” (Hey)
received July 1, 2010
“This Sunday my sermon is
titled
“Pursuing More Than
Happiness,”
and it is based on Matthew
5:1-13.
If you have a few minutes
to read
this passage of scripture
prior to attending the service,
you might get a little
more out of the sermon.
In this sermon, I want to
challenge us all
to live with greater
intentionality and to find
deeper levels of meaning
for our lives. Instant
gratification can be the
enemy of faithful living.
Intentionality is the path
to blessedness.”
