Behold His Prosperity

Why do so many pursue success yet feel unstable or empty, even when surrounded by opportunity and advice? Psalm 1 thrusts us into the tension between worldly counsel and God’s design, challenging our influences and definitions of prosperity. Pastor Alan reveals how the promises of God are not automatic; they require discernment about where we seek counsel, whose path we stand in, and what we let shape our hearts. With practical stories and probing questions, he unpacks ancient words and contemporary struggles, showing how staying rooted in God’s Word moves us from restlessness to steadfast prosperity that is measured by spiritual fruit that blesses others.
