THIS WEEK'S TAKEAWAYS
Key Theme:
Temptation and the pursuit of worldly promises can harden hearts and lead to ruin, while humility, trust in God, and seeking refuge in Him lead to spiritual growth, stability, and ultimately, exaltation with the King.
Key Application:
Take practical steps such as embracing humility, practicing generosity, and seeking God's refuge help you remain on the path of life.
Key Verse:
Psalm 52:5-8 “But God will break you down forever; he will snatch and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah The righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying, “See the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and sought refuge in his own destruction!” But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.”
Key Questions:
1. Am I currently pursuing worldly temptations that promise immediate gratification but may lead to spiritual destruction?
2. Where do I seek refuge when faced with distress, bitterness, or need—do I turn to God or to something else?
3. What steps can I take to root myself more deeply in God’s love and guidance, ensuring I stay on the path that leads to life?

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
