Unless the Lord Builds the House

Genesis Church - Sermons

Bobby McFerrin, in his 1988 hit “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” tells us to just stop worrying. It is a very catchy tune with a great “hook” that will stay in your mind for days. But he doesn’t tell us HOW to stop worrying. For that answer we turn to King Solomon, one of the wisest men to ever live. In one of only two Psalms attributed to him, Solomon teaches us that self-reliance and the unavoidable worrying that comes with it leads to vanity. But reliance on God’s provision and protection, acknowledging that HE is in control of everything, is the only way to build anything of lasting value and the only way to achieve true rest and security. Come along with us as we learn the only way to “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.”
