Maintaining Balance When the Pendulum Swings | David Johnson | Acts (2013) | June 11, 2017

Dave continues in Acts, pondering with us how we can maintain our center when the pendulum swings, as it did for those early Christians – not into bad things this time, but into wonderfully successful things. Dave proposes that maintaining our balance during seasons of success is a struggle because it’s easy, when we’re “winning,” to believe that the name that needs to be known is mine, that the story that needs to be heard is mine, and that the power people think they see is mine – all of which are deadly lies. Dave talks about how Paul navigated seasons of success – in part by knowing, that there’s a name that needs to be known, but it wasn’t his – and there’s a story that needs to be heard, but again, it wasn’t his.”
