This sermon explores the fundamental choice between following God's will or our own desires through the contrasting lives of Abraham and Lot. Pastor Tim Johnson emphasizes that true satisfaction comes not from pursuing what we see and desire, but from trusting God with our hearts, lifestyle, and finances. The message challenges the cultural pursuit of temporary fulfillment through possessions, status, and self-directed choices, revealing that these lead to emptiness rather than contentment. Using the account of Abraham's faith-filled surrender and Lot's self-centered choices, the sermon demonstrates how trusting God's will produces eternal, generational blessings while following our own will results in temporary gains followed by loss and the need for rescue. The sermon culminates in a call to repentance and surrender, particularly in the areas of tithing and service, as expressions of recognizing God as the source of everything we have.

This sermon addresses the pervasive idol of money and wealth in our culture, challenging believers to stop striving for what cannot satisfy and instead receive what God has already provided. Drawing from Ecclesiastes and the life of Solomon, the message reveals how the pursuit of money promises fulfillment but delivers emptiness. The sermon emphasizes that our lives, our work, and even our capacity to enjoy them are gifts from God. True satisfaction comes not from accumulating wealth but from recognizing God's provision, cultivating gratitude, and allowing His love to overflow into service to others. The message calls believers to tear down the idol of money and replace it with the presence of God, finding contentment in what He has given rather than constantly comparing and striving for more.

This powerful sermon explores Jesus' response to personal grief and pain following the execution of John the Baptist. Despite his own deep mourning for his closest friend and ministry companion, Jesus demonstrates extraordinary compassion by putting aside his need for solitude to heal the sick, feed 5,000 people, and ultimately walk on water to reach his disciples. The message challenges believers to understand that supernatural faith means serving others even in the midst of personal suffering. The pastor emphasizes that trials reveal what needs to be refined in our character, that we are already living in the supernatural through our faith in Christ, and that mature faith enables us to carry others' burdens without sinking under the weight. The sermon calls the congregation to grow in faith so their ministry doesn't feel heavy, allowing them to bear one another's burdens effectively.

This sermon addresses the deadly sin of slothfulness, particularly focusing on "acedia" - a spiritual apathy that leads to avoiding God's call on one's life. The pastor emphasizes the importance of recognizing and repenting from this spiritual laziness, trusting God wholeheartedly, obeying His word, walking in community, and having a vision for victory. The message encourages believers to fully embrace their calling and not allow the spirit of acedia to neutralize their potential in Christ.

The pastor emphasizes that anger is a destructive force that gives the devil a foothold in our lives and can damage the unity of believers. He argues that the Bible calls us to eliminate anger entirely, not just manage it. The sermon provides practical steps for replacing anger with Christ-like qualities such as kindness, forgiveness, and tenderheartedness.

In exploring the sin of gluttony, we're challenged to examine our relationship with food and how it impacts our spiritual lives. The story of the Israelites in Exodus 16 serves as a powerful reminder of how easily we can prioritize our physical hunger over trusting in God's provision. We're all susceptible to gluttony in various forms - whether it's demanding specific quality, consuming excessive quantities, eating at inappropriate times, or using food to fill emotional voids. But there's hope! Jesus, described as a 'friend of gluttons,' offers us a better feast. He invites us to find true satisfaction in Him, reminding us that He is the Bread of Life. As we reflect on our eating habits, let's consider how we can use meals as a platform to glorify God and strengthen our faith, rather than allowing food to become an idol that distances us from Him.

In our exploration of the seven deadly sins, we delve into the insidious nature of envy. This often-overlooked sin has the power to rot our bones, as Proverbs 14:30 warns us. We're challenged to confront the ways envy manifests in our lives, particularly in this age of social media comparisons. The story of Cain and Abel reminds us how destructive envy can be, even leading to violence. But there's hope! By shifting our gaze from others to God, we can overcome envy. The concept of 'mimetic desire' teaches us that we're designed to imitate - so why not imitate Christ? As we lean into our relationship with our Heavenly Father, we can replace envy with gratitude and contentment. Let's strive to see ourselves and others through God's loving eyes, embracing our unique purpose and celebrating the success of those around us.

In our exploration of the Seven Deadly Sins, we delve into the insidious nature of greed. Jesus' parable of the rich fool in Luke 12:13-21 serves as a stark reminder that life's true measure isn't found in accumulating possessions, but in being rich toward God. This message challenges us to examine our hearts and detect the subtle ways greed may be influencing our lives - not just in finances, but in our time, relationships, and pursuits of status. We're called to shift our focus from hoarding to radical generosity, recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God to be stewarded for His kingdom. By embracing this perspective, we can break free from the trap of insatiable desire and find true contentment in Christ, who offers us everything we need for a godly life.
