Sermon by Dr. Robert Lewis

1 Pet 1:3-5 

Get ready to unlock the secrets of a genuinely happy life! This episode promises a revealing exploration of an ABC study, contrasting the fleeting allure of possessions, beauty, intelligence, prestigious jobs and wealth, with the lasting joy we find in faith. We interpret these findings through the wisdom of Peter's words in 1 Peter, highlighting the power of making a public commitment to faith. 

Moving forward, we dive deep into the five keys to happiness according to ABC's study - a vibrant religious faith, a cause larger than oneself, control over one's life, close friendships, and marriage. As we link this to the teachings of the New Testament, we’re sure you’ll find these insights a source of inspiration. And in a testament to the transformative power of God's great mercy, we'll share a touching story that beautifully illustrates the shift from mundane existence to a life of purpose and joy.

Wrapping up our discussion, we talk about Christianity's living hope, the guarantee of an imperishable, undefiled, and unfading inheritance reserved for us in heaven. We reassure that it's never too late to return to God, even when we stumble. Plus, we share insights on the significance of stepping up to Jesus Christ and making a commitment. Whether you're reaffirming your pledge or taking the first leap of faith, this episode is a must-listen for you. And, if our teachings resonate with you, do remember to rate and review our podcast!
