Two Ways to the Good Life - Sutton Wirt - 6/28/2026

#onlinechurch Which "Good Life" Are You Chasing? What if everything our culture tells us about "the good life" is pointing us in the wrong direction? We spend our lives chasing success, comfort, relationships, experiences, and possessions, hoping they'll finally satisfy us. But Psalm 1 presents a surprising alternative: there are only two paths in life—and only one leads to lasting joy. This week we begin a brand-new series in the Psalms, the prayer book God's people have leaned on for thousands of years. And we start right where the Psalms start: Psalm 1. Psalm 1 lays out two ways to live. One looks like a tree planted by streams of water: rooted, alive, bearing fruit in season. The other looks like chaff the wind just drives away. And the difference isn't really about where you walk, stand, or sit — it's about what you love and what fills your mind. What we delight in and what we meditate on quietly set the direction of our entire lives. Are you being formed by the world's wisdom or by God's Word? If following Jesus has ever felt like a list of dos and don'ts, this message is an invitation to something deeper: a changed heart, new affections, and the kind of lasting happiness the world keeps promising but can't deliver. True flourishing isn't found in having more but in delighting in the Lord and letting Him transform us from the inside out. The good life is real and it's found in going God's way.
