Becoming so focused on mission and ministry can turn good things into a god. Pastor Mike reminds us today that, as believers, our worth is in the faithful work of Christ, not in working for God.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Vending Machine Mentality | Ep. 88 | Wednesday June 7, 2023

Flee Self-Worship | Ep. 87 | Tuesday June 6, 2023
Pastor Mike discusses the second posture of relating to God, "Life Over God." Rather than seeking a relationship with God, we can easily elevate ourselves as the primary focus. We should avoid using the Bible as a self-help book. Instead, use it as a guide to knowing Him. An intimate relationship with Him is far greater than a life of self-service.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive
