Kris Vallotton emphasizes the transformative power of the New Covenant established by Jesus. This covenant is marked by a spirit of reconciliation, highlighting God's desire to restore relationships.

In 1 Samuel 30, David faced immense rejection and loss, from Saul's betrayal to the Philistines' refusal and even his own men's mutiny. Despite this, David found strength in the Lord, showcasing the critical need for believers to learn self-ministry. In this sermon, Pastor Bill Johnson highlights that promotion often follows a season where God teaches us to depend solely on Him. Embracing disappointment and rejection with faith positions us for greater responsibility. It's vital to immerse ourselves in the Word and worship, drawing strength directly from God, preparing us for the promotion and responsibilities He has planned.
