What You Trust Will Control You

Описание: Whether we realize it or not, what we trust to take care of us will eventually take control of us.

In this sermon from 1 Kings 16–17, we walk through the story of Ahab, Baal, Elijah, and the widow of Zarephath to uncover how money, fear, and scarcity quietly shape our hearts. This message isn’t about how much you give. It’s about who sits on the throne of your life.

Jesus talked about money more than almost any topic because money has a way of replacing trust in God without us even noticing. Culture disciples us to consume. Fear tells us to hold tighter. But Scripture invites us into a different way of living—a life led by trust, not scarcity.

In this message, you’ll discover:
How firstfruits reveal who you trust with your future
The danger of “reasonable faith”
Why God asks for first: not to fund Him, but to form us
How Jesus gave first so we could finally trust Him

This sermon is for anyone who feels anxious about money, stuck in scarcity, or tired of letting fear dictate their decisions. God is inviting you into freedom; not through more resources, but through deeper trust.
