The Dangers of Success

In this message, we follow Gideon’s story to see how starting well and finishing well aren’t the same—especially after success. Gideon trusted God in weakness, but after victory he began relying on himself, chasing recognition, and building a “replacement” for dependence on the Lord. This is a warning about the spiritual danger of success and an invitation to return to prayer, accountability, and humble faith. Ultimately, we’re pointed to Jesus—the true Savior who succeeds where we fail and calls us back to grace-filled dependence on God.
