Letting Go of Selfish Ambition

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Steven Pettis walks through the subtle yet devastating danger of selfish ambition. Selfishness is more than just a character flaw—

it’s the seed that leads to division, pride, manipulation, and spiritual destruction. From the fall of Satan to the temptation of Adam and Eve, to the fractures within the church, we see how selfish ambition grows when left unchecked.

This message calls us to examine our hearts through the lens of Jeremiah 17:9, reminding us of our need for a transformed heart through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Whether it’s anger, resentment, jealousy, or comparison—these are spiritual signs that it’s time to let go.

📍 If you’re feeling weighed down in your walk with Christ, this message will lead you to a freeing truth: we run with endurance when we lay down the weight of self and fix our eyes on Jesus.
