Does God want us to be ambitious, striving to the make the most of ourselves? Through 2 Samuel 2-5, Pastor Tim Hawks takes us into the story of David after Saul’s death, and how ambition can either aid us on God’s direction for our lives or encourage our own self-indulgence.

We are taught that in order to live a full life, we must be independent, answering to no one but ourselves.

As a culture, we are pretty effective at rationalizing even our worst decisions.
