Everyone wants to be happy. But what makes us happy? And why is happiness easy to find, but hard to keep?

​In this six-session, video-based Bible study, pastor Andy Stanley examines the ways in which we tend to define happiness and explains how that definition influences the way we pursue it. He reveals that happiness is about who, not what, and that happy people are at peace with God, with others, and with themselves. He also shows how sin undermines peace because it separates us from God, others, and ourselves by substituting pleasure for fulfillment, things for people, images for intimacy, and self-expression for self-control

We are often tempted to believe that happiness comes from acquiring things, but happiness is actually an outcome of what we sow in our lives. We can’t acquire, consume, or exercise our way to happiness, but we may be able to serve and volunteer our way there. In the end, we find that if we live as if it’s all about us, we will never be happy.
Sessions include:

1. Nothing: We all daydream about a trouble-free life made possible by something: a dream job, house, car, spouse, child, family, or pile of money. But what if no thing can make us happy?    
2. Plan for It: We think we have to choose between being happy and pleasing God. Check out what Jesus had to say about that.
3. Peace with God: Peace with God paves the way to peace with ourselves and equips us to make peace with others. Find out the one thing it takes to find peace with God.
4. Happy Money: If your goal is to find happiness, no amount of money will ever be enough. But this one principle can change the way you view money and help you find peace.
5. Shoes: Why are we tempted to make decisions that hurt us in the long run? This message will help you understand the difference between pleasure and happiness.
6. You’re Not Enough: Check out this secret ingredient to happiness. It's so counter intuitive that only people who have experienced it believe it.
