Big Idea: Don't Sin to Win
God puts us in difficult situations and seasons so that we trust His guidance.
Sin may provide immediate success or satisfaction, but it will always backfire.
The righteous are ruled by God, not their circumstances nor their feelings.
Guest Speaker Matt Mackie, The Zambia Project
The true and better son of Jesse (one from Bethlehem) defeats the strongman and brings salvation.
Disobedience to God’s word leads to destruction, but God bestows grace and provision for those who wait on Him.
For true victory turn from the idols of self and turn with confidence to the power of God.
No matter your circumstance, take a reverent stance.
God provides spiritual lessons and deliverance through an imperfect ruler.
Our security is not in physical features, talents and acumen, but in the power of God.
When we come to God in humility and repentance, He will deliver and save.
God humbles the self-reliant, but He is forever faithful to those who trust Him.
Leadership influences people to greater corruption or into a growing character of God.
Faith means rejoicing and trusting God when dreams are unfulfilled and life falls apart around us.
