3-2-1: A Call to Prayer, 1 of 4 from September 7, 2025
"We must choose God-dependence over self-confidence in both easy and hard times."
Hosea 10 by Michael Lockstampfor (@mikocks)
SUMMARY
This sermon explores "the test of wealth" through Hosea 10, revealing how abundance can be a greater spiritual challenge than scarcity. Pastor Michael explains that humans naturally spend wealth to increase personal control rather than trusting God, and challenges the congregation to "choose God-dependence over self-confidence in both easy and hard times" as they launch the Grove Initiative to develop leaders and plant churches.
REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
💬 What areas of our life do we want more guaranteed control over?
💬 What gifts from God are we taking for granted?
💬 How are we investing God’s blessings in God’s glory?
