Why Doesn’t God Give Me What I Want?

Summary

This sermon addresses the "happiness gospel," a cultural belief that God's primary purpose is to make us happy, contrasting it with the truth that our purpose is to worship, serve, and glorify God. While God delights in our happiness and is a good father, our happiness is not His highest priority, especially not at the expense of holiness. The takeaway is to pursue holiness as God's Word instructs, rather than chasing a flawed definition of happiness that can lead us away from God.
