Is Happiness the Goal of the Christian Life? | Reprogram Pt. 3 |

Pastor Adam continues Hill City Church’s Reprogram series with Part 3, “Happiness Is the Goal,” calling the Church to come out from worldly patterns of thinking and be transformed by the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2). On the first Sunday of 2026, this message confronts the cultural lie that personal happiness is the highest aim of life. Pastor Adam exposes how the world’s messages—“if it makes you happy, do it” or “if you don’t enjoy it, quit”—shape our beliefs, decisions, and even our faith. Through Scripture and real-life examples, this teaching shows how God never promises constant happiness but instead calls His people to consecration, transformation, and a reprogramming of how we think, believe, and act. In this powerful sermon, Hill City explores why the “happiness-first” philosophy is anti-biblical and how it produces fragile faith, self-centered Christianity, shallow obedience, and disappointment. Drawing from passages like Luke 9:23, James 1:2–4, Romans 5:3–4, and Colossians 1:16–17, Pastor Adam teaches that joy is found not in comfort or indulgence, but in surrender, obedience, and faithfulness to Jesus as King. This message challenges believers to stop interpreting life through feelings and start living by faith, discovering lasting joy even in hardship by seeking first the Kingdom of God.
