Pastor Adam Burton discusses the lessons from Genesis 13 about unchecked desires and the importance of letting God guide our choices.
Most of us have experienced a moment that felt too good to be true. When something looks exactly like what we want, our desires often do our thinking for us and we stop asking the hard questions. In this message from "The Friend of God" series, Pastor Adam Burton explores Genesis 13 to show the contrast between Abram and Lot. Discover why wealth often divides us, how unchecked desire leads to compromise, and why we must let God open our eyes to His promises instead of choosing only what we can see. 📖 Scripture: Genesis 13:1-18 In This Video: 0:43 - Introduction: The Danger of Unchecked Desire 3:12 - Point 1: When We Lift Our Own Eyes 4:32 - The Cost of Abundance 6:26 - Abram Surrenders the Choice 8:16 - Lot Looks Toward Sodom 13:12 - Point 2: When God Lifts Our Eyes 16:23 - The William Borden Illustration 19:18 - Building Your Altar 22:06 - Conclusion: Choose the Altar 24:08 - Closing — STAY CONNECTED — SPOTIFY: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/cbcmaysville GIVE ONLINE: https://cbcmaysville.com/give VISIT WEBSITE: https://cbcmaysville.com DOWNLOAD SERMON NOTES: https://web.cbcmaysville.church/docs/20260621_sermon_cheat_sheet.pdf FACEBOOK…
