Week One: The Purpose of Life
We start with a belief that creation comes from God and that God is love. We also begin with the premise that it is the nature of love to give to others, to want to be connected with them, and to bring them happiness. This suggests that the whole purpose of life is that humans created by God should be happy, not just in this life but after this life forever.

Does this imply that we humans can do whatever we want so long as we are happy? No, not really. God is infinite and eternal and is concerned about our long term happiness. Churches are fallible human institutions, but ideally their purpose is to help people to come to know God and find true happiness. Jesus specifically stated that He spoke to the people in order that they might have His joy in themselves (John 17:13).
