What Determines Success?
Apr 8, 2026 • Pastor Jeffrey Bateman
The world has many definitions of success. Some measure success by wealth, popularity, influence, accomplishments, or recognition. God, however, measures success differently. In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul points believers back to the nation of Israel. Though they experienced incredible blessings, miracles, and opportunities, many of them failed spiritually. They had every advantage, yet they did not finish well. Their story teaches us that success is not determined by how much privilege we have received but by how faithfully we respond to God.
