We all want to be happy and we are drawn to those who appear to be happy whether we they are or not. God wants you to find happiness. Last week we began a new series on the Psalms.

And you know what the first word of this book is? Happy.

I am so excited about this summer and our study of Psalms. Almost everything about God is in the Psalms. Almost everything about man is in the Psalms. Psalms may be the most read portion of the Bible by believers and unbelievers. We are going to be in the Psalms well into September, and it is my prayer that we will have the same love and knowledge for this special place in God's word as did Jesus, Mary, and the disciples.

There are a handful of passages in the Bible that have a key to everything ring to them, the secret to life sound about them. I want to look at one of those today. Turn with me today to Matthew 6:25-34 where we will look at a portion of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.

Memorial Day reminds us to remember that there are men and women who have paid the ultimate price for us to enjoy freedom. They died in battle so we could freely worship, bear arms, and speak, even if that speech is against the government.
