Making God Number One

Speaker: Ricky Venter
Title: MAKING GOD NUMBER ONE
Message: The Posture of the Heart

What truly sits on the throne of your heart?

As we step into 2026, this message challenges us to look beyond intentions, appearances, and routines—and honestly examine what our lives are actually organized around. Drawing from the life of David, Making God Number One is a call to realignment, repentance, and reordered priorities.

Through powerful storytelling and Scripture, Ricky Venter explores three defining marks of a heart after God:

🔑 A heart that turns quickly — not defined by perfection, but by responsiveness to conviction
🔥 A life reordered around God’s presence — where priority is revealed by pursuit, not intention
🤍 An overflow of love for others — where intimacy with God produces kindness, humility, and grace

This message reminds us that God doesn’t just want a place in our lives—He wants the center. Not declared priority, but revealed priority. Not borrowed faith, but personal pursuit.

The service concludes with a meaningful moment of reflection and surrender using two symbols—a key and a card—inviting every believer to ask one honest question:
“What sits on the throne of my heart?”
