"God wants me to be happy" #shorts #firstnlr #onlinechurch

Summary

This sermon challenges the common belief that God's primary desire is for us to be happy, arguing that scripture actually emphasizes His priority is our holiness. It states there is no verse supporting the idea that God wants us to be happy, especially if it means violating His laws, and that Jesus' sacrifice was for forgiveness, not happiness. The practical takeaway is to abandon the "God wants me to be happy" excuse as it is unbiblical and leads to harmful thinking.
