Evening Message: Reuben's Retreat; Gad's Grant (03/01/2026)
Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had natural privilege (firstborn status), physical power (military might), and legacy (descent from Joseph), but none of that could save them because they broke covenant faith with God and were the first tribes to fall into exile; salvation and security rest on covenant faithfulness, not birthright, strength, or heritage.
