All we want in Christ, we find in Christ.
If we want little, we shall find little.
If we want much, we shall find much;
But, if, in utter helplessness, we cast our all
on Christ,
He will be to us the whole treasury of God.

5. Those, who attempt to find happiness, refuse to live a humble
and faithful life, following the attitude of and mind of Jesus
(Philippians’ 2:5). They think highly of themselves and their
importance to be able to bow their knee in confession to the
King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. (1Timothy 6:15). Such
an attitude makes folks miserable as they wallow in their own
self pity.

SERVICES
Happiness in Your Life
6
Many think they will find happiness in always complaining
and murmuring at the providence of God (Philippians 2:1214). These hold grudges against their fellow-man and are
upset by every small thing that happens to them. This attitude is guaranteed to bring misery, not happiness (Philippians
4:6-7).
God has assured us if we seek in the right way, happiness will be
found. This happiness will not be in the form of money, cars or
homes. The happiness that God provides is found when we bring
ourselves in harmony with His word. Let us all follow His word
as it guides us through life and leads us to a home in heaven with
our Creator.
Leslie church of Christ bulletin
By Robert Nograss
Happiness can be very difficult to describe for many. Though we desire to have
happiness for ourselves, some search the world over but are still unable to find
happiness in life. Why is it that the multitudes do not find peace, tranquility and
happiness? Could it be that they are seeking in all the wrong places, such as
riches, fame and popularity? Each time these are obtained, they are found to be
empty in regards to lasting happiness and real joy in life. We need to notice that
these are the things of an outward nature, while we need to realize that God’s formula for happiness comes from within our hearts. God does have a place by
which all can find happiness, but He promises it from his perspective and not our
own.
The keys for happiness can be found in the thoroughly furnishing scriptures given
by God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3). We receive happiness and peace in life
by being sure our actions are in harmony with God’s Word. With this said, let us
notice six types of individuals who seek to find a happy life.

“Jesus Calls Us”
1. Some want to be in the family of God without being born again, which is an
impossible way to happiness. (John 3:3-5). Instead, of being saved by faith
only, Jesus said, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” (Mark
16:16). The inspired apostle, Peter, said, “Seeing ye have purified your
souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently; Being born
again, not of corruptible see, but of incorruptible, be the work of God , which
lieth and abideth for ever.” (1 Peter: 1:22-23)
To Repent”

To Be Salt/Light” Brian Howard
To Be Forgiving” A.J. Cox
To Be Wise” Josh Taylor
2. Some want to be happy without seeking the grace and peace from Jesus which
is only found in Him and His church. (Philippians’ 1:2, 2 Timothy 2:1). We
must focus our lives on forgiveness and hope if we are to find lasting happiness (2 Timothy 1:1-2)
All adults and grades 4th and up will meet in the
auditorium to hear these lessons.
3. Some want happiness without being thankful for the gracious blessings of salvation, the talents given to us to use and the church built and purchased by
Jesus (Ephesians 1:3, Romans1:21-22), Philippians 1:3-5.
