Pastor Cho's Sermon Outline - Yoido Full Gospel Church - Seoul, Korea
Simple Happiness
Philippians 4:4 ~ 4:7

2006-10-22

Introduction : Most people just live an ordinary life. Some people say their life is full of pain and do not have the desire to live. Only a few people say they have a happy life. But if we take a closer look, all of us can learn to live and enjoy a happy life.


1. Discovering the meaning of life and purpose
    1) Since Adam´s fall, human beings have:
        (1) Lost their hometown of life - Eden (Isa 1:4)
        (2) Lost the way to Eden (Jer 17:5)
        (3) Lost themselves and life (Jas 4:14)
        - must recover the lost hometown, the way and our identity in order to have
           happiness in our heart.
    2) God who seeks human beings
        ○ Through the redemption of Jesus (Isa 56:6)
        (1) We find the bosom of God who is our hometown (Jn 1:12)
        (2) We find the way to God (the Fivefold Gospel) (Jn 14:6, Eph 3:12)
        (3) We find our lost identity (1Pe 2:9)
        - Acquiring the meaning of life, which is to serve God, the value of life, which is to
           serve Jesus, the purpose of life, which is to gain heaven (Jn 6:40, 14:3)

2. A humble heart that has thrown away greed
    1) Greed and failure
        (1) Adam´s greed and failure (Jas 1:14~15)
        (2) David´s greed and failure - committing adultery with Uriah´s wife (2Sa 12:10, 14)
    2) Living in God´s grace (Mt 6:24-33)

3. Keeping good human relationships
    1) Family relationships
        (1) God created Adam and Eve - the relationship between husband and wife
             (Ge 2:24, Eph 5:33)
        (2) The relationship between parents and children (Eph 6:1-4)
        (3) The relationship with brothers and sisters (Pr 17:17)
        (4) The relationship with neighbors (Ro 15:2)
    2) For good human relationships
        (1) Always try to understand the other person (1Pe 3:8)
        (2) Always share joy and sorrow (Ro 12:15)
        (3) Be patient (Ro 15:5, Eph 4:2-3)
        (4) Must love - with forgiveness and reconciliation (Lk 6:36-37, Gal 5:13-14)

4. Thanksgiving and maintaining health
    1) Enjoy your health - it is miserable when health is lost (Ps 6:2, 103:2-3)
    2) Invest in your health
        (1) A joyful mind with peace (Pr 17:22, Ps 16:11)
        (2) A healthy diet (1Co 10:31)
        (3) Exercise (1Co 6:19-20)
    3) God´s hospital and the world´s hospital
        (1) Be admitted with faith to God´s hospital
            - God is the doctor; Jesus is the medicine (Ex 15:26, 1Pe 2:24)
        (2) With no such knowledge or faith, we have to depend on the world´s hospital


Conclusion : If we will satisfactorily control these four conditions, it is possible to have simple happiness in life.
