The Secret to Happiness

The Secret

I Thessalonians 5:16-18 says,

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Most Americans define themselves as distinctly unhappy. Why is that and what can be done about it? Is there really a “secret” to happiness? In this sermon clip from the Course Corrections series, Greg explores one small tweak that may have the biggest impact in our lives – gratitude.

If you’d like to listen to the entire sermon, you can do so here.

Gratitude

“When we learn to read the story of Jesus and see it as the story of the love of God, doing for us what we could not do for ourselves–that insight produces, again and again, a sense of astonished gratitude which is very near the heart of authentic Christian experience.” N.T.
