Saved but still stuck | Pastor Ben Norvig | 1 Kings 15 + 22

June 7, 2026 · 26 min

You’ve been saved. You’ve destroyed some idols. You’ve done everything right — and yet something keeps pulling you back.In Saved but Still Stuck, Pastor Ben Norvig digs into one of the most overlooked passages in the Old Testament: King Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, tore down idols, and stirred revival. But there’s a line in 1 Kings 15 that keeps showing up across generations of kings: “The high places were not removed.” That single detail — left unaddressed — cost Israel everything.Pastor Ben unpacks the difference between an idol and a high place, why high places always require a sacrifice, and how the patterns we leave standing get handed to our kids. He also shares a personal reckoning with his own high place — the high place of approval — and why destroying it this week was the hardest thing he’s done.Whether you’ve been following Jesus for thirty years or you’re just curious about what any of this means, this message is for you.
