What drives your life? Goals... or values?

In this message, Pastor Matthew Hartman challenges us to rethink the way we approach our walk with God. Goals can be accomplished or abandoned—but values shape who we become. Drawing from Proverbs 23:7 and the teachings of Jesus, this sermon explores the biblical truth that our character is formed by what we consistently value.

Pastor Matthew shares five core values the Lord has been developing in his own life:

• Personal Growth

• Positive Impact

• Honesty

• Generosity

• Servanthood

Through Scripture from Proverbs, John, Matthew, Acts, Corinthians, and more, you'll discover why God is far more concerned with transforming your character than simply helping you achieve your ambitions. Jesus didn't call us merely to reach goals—He called us to become disciples who bear lasting fruit.

This message will challenge you to examine your own heart, define the values that shape your life, and intentionally pursue becoming more like Messiah every day.
