Sermon
Holy Ambition
Center Church
Speaker: Josh Miller
September 14, 2022 · 39 min
Summary
Abraham's life demonstrates that worldly ambition (pursuing wealth and pleasure) versus holy ambition (prioritizing God and others) determines one's spiritual trajectory and legacy. Through Abraham's repentance and generosity toward Lot, contrasted with Lot's move toward Sodom, the sermon teaches that holy ambition requires putting God first, others second, and self last—a pattern made possible through Christ's sacrifice.
Highlights
You determine your ambition, and then your ambition determines your life.
Holy ambition prioritizes God and others over self.
The best thing that we can give our kids is a picture of holy ambition in our life because our kids very quickly understand what matters most to mom and dad.
