Can Jealousy Ruin Your Life?
October 9, 2022 • Pastor Rod Loy • Ephesians 1:17–19, 1 Samuel 18, Ephesians 2:10
Have you ever been jealous of someone's family, success, or popularity? When someone else is living the life you have always dreamed of, it can be difficult to deal with. This feeling is common for many people. Even though jealousy is common, it is also dangerous - it has the power to destroy you and your future. In this message, we continue to study the life of King Saul. In spite of everything he had been blessed with, Saul couldn't stand when David was blessed. You will learn from Saul's actions that jealousy has the power to ruin your life.
Blessing Follows Obedience

Everyone wants to live a blessed life. You dream of a big house, a perfect family, and a long life. Living a blessed life sounds wonderful - but as a biblical Christian, you must recognize that blessings are the result of your obedience to God's commands. In this message, we continue to study "Life Lessons from a Loser." We learn from a moment in Saul's life when he directly disobeyed God's instructions and had to face the consequences. Saul's actions expose the pattern and results of disobedience.

We will learn from the life of a guy in the Bible who seemed to have everything going right. Even though he had great potential, his choices and actions propelled him towards failure and the legacy of being a loser. There are valuable lessons in his story and mistakes to avoid!
