Revolution

The Pursuit of Happiness
This series asks us to consider whether an ultimate pursuit of happiness is all it’s cracked up to be, and if it actually fits in with the Christian life. When our goal is happiness (above all else), we don’t leave much room in our hearts, theology, and life for sacrifice, suffering, or true joy.
