Chaplain David Saltzman – “Joy & Happiness in the Here and Now,” – Verdugo Community Church February 16, 2025

In his sermon from Matthew 6:25 – 34, “Joy & Happiness in the Here and Now,” Chaplain David Saltzman looks at Jesus’s teaching about how we should approach life. There Jesus reminds his followers that they should put their trust and focus on God, who offers us life and provides beauty and bounty for all his creation, instead of focusing on what the world wants us to wear, eat, or worry about in the future. God wants us to live in the present, seeking first his kingdom for ourselves and others. God knows what we need and will provide. So we should stop worrying about the future and choose the life he offers in the here and now.
