Pastor Dave challenges you to define what is taking the role of God in your life. Is it work, a relationship, or the pursuit of happiness? None of these things are bad, but if they're placed above God they'll eventually let you down. Instead of these things, place Jesus as the priority of your life.

The Bible teaches that we will reap what we sow. The life and death of Abimelech in Judges 9 is a memorial to that truth. Although he acquired great power quickly through ruthless betrayal, he lost it just as quickly in the Lord's judgment. In today's message, Pastor Dave will warn you about ambitious pride.

To the outside world, the ruthless ambition of Abimelech seemed to be a success for a while; but God's word teaches that anything that's acquired through sin and corruption is subject to God's judgment. In today's teaching, Pastor Dave will show you how easily that which is gained through sin can be just as easily lost.

Ambition, in and of itself, isn't an evil thing; but if it isn't paired with humility and God's calling, it can lead you into a vicious and cruel path in life. In today's message, Pastor Dave will remind you that God always has a higher authority and rule over the rule of man. Everything you do should always be submitted to God's sovereignty.

The story of Abimelech in the book of Judges is a truly tragic, but cautionary. He rose to power in ruthless and cruel ambition through violent betrayal; but was himself judged by God for his sin and promptly removed from power. In today's message, Pastor Dave will remind you of God's sovereignty, justice and judgment.

Pastor Dave reminds us in today's message that we serve a big God! Everything we do should be for His glory and to bring more and more people to Him. God can do anything, so we have no reason to not do as He's instructed! Since He can accomplish everything, we can be courageous and proclaim His power!

Mountain top experiences with God are wonderful, aren't they? We meet our Creator in new ways and we can't help but overflow with praise! Pastor Dave reminds us today, though, that the enemy is waiting for us at the foot of the mountain. We'll need to be ready to fight off his attempts to steal our joy!

God shows up just when we need Him most! Even when we fail, we have the best cheerleader in our Heavenly Father! He encourages us to stand up and try again right away, and gives us the strength to keep going! Pastor Dave today will remind us how incredible our God truly is, and how we can rely on Him always!

God loves to do things in a way that proves only He could be orchestrating it! Today we'll join Gideon in some pretty long odds for success in battle, but God will come through! Pastor Dave will encourage us to take this example of God's power and remember that He can do the impossible even in our lives!

God hasn't changed – He's the same today as He was yesterday and as He will be in the future! God is faithful to us no matter what, even when we can't feel Him or see Him moving! Pastor Dave reminds us today to trust in God no matter what, remembering all He's done and all He's promised to do!
