God's Rules for Happy Living

Ever wonder why God gave the ten commandments? Ever wonder how did some followers of Christ in the Bible lived happy lives in the midst of troubles?

Today, we often view rules in a negative way. Don't do this! Don't touch that! No No! Because of that, we can often view commandments from the Bible, especially the 10 God gave to Moses, in a negative way. "Oh great, God tells more stuff not to do. Where's the freedom at?"

Join us through this 12 week series as we capture the heart of God on how to live a happy life.
