In Champions Put God First, Dr. Michael Youssef draws us into 2 Samuel 7 to reveal how true champions put God first—even when their dreams are denied. David, a man after God’s own heart, is told he will not build the Temple. Yet rather than rebel or sulk, he bows in humility and prays with reverent awe. Dr. Youssef challenges listeners to examine their motives: Do we seek God’s glory or our own comfort? Are we willing to obey when God says “no”? This message is a call to return to our first love, to submit to God’s authority, and to prioritize His Kingdom above our own desires. Revival begins when Christ is exalted, not self.
