You Want Security… But at What Cost?

Описание: Your fear will always offer you a “king,” but it won’t be the one your soul needs.

When life feels shaky, it’s easy to reach for whatever seems controllable: a plan, a system, a person, a label, anything that makes uncertainty feel smaller. But what if the thing you’re grabbing for is quietly replacing God on the throne? This message exposes how fear corrupts our motives, demands instant solutions, and pushes us to trust what’s visible instead of what’s faithful, and it invites you to return the crown to the only King who gives and frees.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
In 1 Samuel 8, Israel demands a king “like the nations” because they’re tired of feeling vulnerable. God calls it what it is: not a rejection of Samuel, but a rejection of God as King. We’ll walk through the warning Samuel gives, how counterfeit kings take, and we’ll name the modern “kings” we’re tempted to enthrone when fear drives us. The good news is that Jesus is the opposite of every counterfeit: where false kings enslave, Jesus gives and frees.
