The pattern that often surprises us most doesn't arrive when we are at our worst. It shows up right when we are at our best. Fresh off an impossible victory, Abram found himself caught between two completely different kings.

In this message from "The Friend of God" series, Pastor Adam Burton unpacks Genesis 14:17–24 to expose the subtle trap of worldly compromise. Discover why we must slow down to recognize who truly won our battles, how a transactional mindset blocks us from experiencing grace, and how to walk away from Sodom's offers because your hands are already full of something better.
