Godspeak Calvary Chapel

In his sermon "Pride After Blessing," Pastor Rob McCoy weaves a compelling narrative that intertwines the biblical story of King Hezekiah with contemporary challenges facing America. Reflecting on his recent speaking engagement in El Cajon, California, McCoy highlights the grassroots efforts to unify conservatives in the state amid economic struggles, soaring debt, and a shifting global trade landscape. He draws a parallel between Hezekiah’s prideful decision to flaunt Judah’s treasures to Babylon—leading to eventual ruin—and America’s post-World War II economic policies that favored foreign manufacturing over domestic prosperity, resulting in a debtor nation burdened by $36 trillion in debt. With fervent conviction, Pastor Rob calls for a selfless recalibration of priorities, urging listeners to endure short-term economic discomfort for the sake of future generations, much like Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, celebrated in communion, exemplifies dying to self so others might live.Verse References:
