More Than Me

Feb 18, 2018    Matt Santen

In week two of More Than Happy, this message explores how true joy is found not in chasing personal success, but in putting others first—just as Christ did. Anchored in Philippians 2:3–4, the sermon challenges our natural tendency to prioritize self by showing that joy grows when we choose humility and obedience to Jesus’ example. From hockey skates to kitchen counters, the pastor uses relatable stories to show how joy becomes real when we sacrifice our preferences, serve others with genuine concern, and take intentional steps to grow in Christlike character. Whether in our families, workplaces, or churches, the path to more-than-happy living is paved with quiet, faithful acts of putting others before ourselves.
