🔥"Pride says, 'Look at me, don't you see how great I am?' Insecurity says, 'Look at me, don't you see how worthless I am?' Both are still saying, 'Look at me.' True confidence is rooted in radical vulnerability with God."
In the final message of the David series, Pastor Drew tackles a fundamental question for all believers: Whose kingdom are you building? This sermon compares the destructive leadership of King Saul and King David's son, Absalom, with David's eventual model of confident humility.
We explore how both pride and deep insecurity manifest as the same self-centered drive for attention, leading leaders to become impulsive tyrants and betray their calling. The true path to effective influence is found not in seeking the spotlight, but in David’s example of radical vulnerability with the Lord—a powerful prayer life that allows him to stand tall in confidence before man. The message is a challenge to reject the desire to "look great" and instead embrace the high calling God has placed on your life, using even your weakest moments for His glory (2 Corinthians 3:4-5).
