June 6: Dave Harvey, Helping To Rescue Ambition
0 Comments
Dave Harvey believes ambition is in trouble—godly ambition, that is—the kind that can be, in his words, “a noble force for the glory of God.”
And he’s coming to Covenant Life on Sunday, June 6, to talk about it. [UPDATE: Dave’s message, “The Quest for Contentment” is available for download.]
What comes to mind when you think of ambition? Do you think of the drive for personal honor and fame or a God-centered passion to improve, produce, develop, and create?
Or have you given up on ambition altogether? No dreams, just auto-piloting through life. Confused. Numb.
Dave wants to encourage us to snatch ambition from the heap of failed motivations and put it to work for godly ends—to reach further and dream bigger for the glory of God.
Dave will speak at both the 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. services. Please join us!
