Neh. 8:5, 8-10; Ecc. 5:18-20; Is. 61:1-3

Did you grow up believing that your Christian faith added happiness to life, or took it away? Either way, this message suggests that Jesus' primary purpose in coming to the world was to make us happy - WITH God. If we pursue pleasure apart from God, we fail to accomplish our life purpose. We all know that. But what many of us missed is that if we live for God without being happy WITH Him, we still fail the mission, since we are actually confirming the claim which Satan made against God before time began: that God does not satisfy. If we want to defeat Satan, and glorify God, we need to actively pursue the happiness which God has made available to us on the Earth.
