The Grip: 5 Ways We Love the Wrong Thing More Than God

From Sarah’s laugh of disbelief to Lot’s cave in the mountains, Genesis 18 and 19 tell five stories of people gripped by something other than God — a label, a loved one, a reputation, a place, a fear. In this message, Pastor Douglas Humphrey walks through all five and shows what they have in common: not one person let go on their own. Every release came from God reaching in and taking hold. Wherever you’re standing today — gripped, past it, or still ahead of it — this is a word about the hand that’s already reaching for you.
