God's People living in a world that seems upside down

Jun 22, 2025    Pastor Jacob Gray

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our approach to God's Word and its role in our lives. The central story of 1 Kings 22 serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of selfish ambition in the name of God. We see how easy it is to fall into the trap of seeking confirmation for our own desires rather than truly seeking God's will. This narrative urges us to reflect on our own motivations - are we genuinely open to God's guidance, or are we merely looking for divine approval of our predetermined plans? The message emphasizes the importance of standing firm in God's truth, even when it's unpopular or costly. We're reminded that compromise might seem easier, but it ultimately leads us astray from God's best for our lives. As we navigate a world that often seems upside down, this teaching encourages us to anchor ourselves in the unchanging Word of God, trusting in His wisdom even when it contradicts worldly consensus.
