Everywhere you look, someone is trying to sell you their version of happiness. It’s in that new car, that beautiful home, that lifestyle that screams security and pleasure. But the happiness these things promise is only temporary. True and lasting happiness comes from God.

In his 8-part series Happiness Is in You, Dr. Michael Youssef conducts a thorough study of the beatitudes and expounds on the eight superstructure steps of our relationship with Christ. In the beatitudes, Jesus shows us that happiness it not getting what we want, but being content with what we have. Each beatitude builds on our need for God, for the very first beatitude lays the foundation for our relationship with our Savior. And as we move up the superstructure of the beatitudes, they together lead us to the deepest and richest happiness we can imagine.
