The Pursuit of Happyness: Faith That Seeks and Finds - Wesleyan (Hebrews 11:1-6)
Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness believed in a better future ("things hoped for") and worked toward it despite zero evidence of success. Hebrews 11:6 says God "rewards those who earnestly seek him." Wesleyan theology emphasizes seeking faith—faith isn't passive reception but active pursuit. God enables the search through prevenient grace; faith responds. Chris's faith wasn't just belief but earnest seeking, daily perseverance, active trust. Without faith it's impossible to please God; with faith, the impossible becomes possible. Seek and find.
