Escaping the Grip of Jealousy - 1 Samuel 18:1–16

Jealousy doesn’t just make you bitter — it blinds you to God’s blessings.In 1 Samuel 18, Saul watches David’s success with suspicion instead of joy, and it begins to unravel his life. But there’s a better way.In this message, Pastor Phil unpacks three signs jealousy is stealing your joy — and shows how Jesus, the greater King, frees us to celebrate others, rest in God’s plan, and lean into His purposes for our lives. In this sermon, you’ll discover:-Why we compete instead of celebrate — and how Jesus shares His victory-How fear replaces trust — and how Jesus perfectly trusted the Father-Why jealousy pushes people away — and how Jesus draws near to us in loveWhether you’re wrestling with comparison, struggling with insecurity, or feeling distant from God, this message will point you to the only King who gives you lasting peace and joy.Join us every Sunday at 9:30 AM at Edgewood Baptist Church Buildingwww.myconnectingbelair.orgwww.myconnectingchurch.org
