Most of us have experienced a moment that felt too good to be true. When something looks exactly like what we want, our desires often do our thinking for us and we stop asking the hard questions.

In this message from "The Friend of God" series, Pastor Adam Burton explores Genesis 13 to show the contrast between Abram and Lot. Discover why wealth often divides us, how unchecked desire leads to compromise, and why we must let God open our eyes to His promises instead of choosing only what we can see.
