Where Is Your Love Leading You? | Psalm 51 | Pastor Josh Shaw
Have you ever found yourself chasing desires that ultimately leave you feeling empty? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Josh dives deep into the raw confession of Psalm 51 to reveal the surprising truth about where our love can lead us – and why it matters more than you think. Using the infamous story of King David and Bathsheba, we uncover the critical difference between self-love that leads to destruction and the transformational power of God-centered love.
