The 7 Deadly Sins – Week 2 | Gluttony

Heavier than hunger: when getting more becomes who you are. This sermon looks squarely at the ache that chasing stuff, pleasure, or status leaves behind—illustrated by a rich man who feasts while a poor man lies at his gate—and how that appetite can show up as isolation, denial, and a disintegrating life. It’s for anyone who’s been numbed by consumption, shaken by loss, or quietly wondering why more never seems to satisfy. Instead of moralizing, the message reframes gluttony as an identity problem and points to a different way to land when the engine cuts: pick a place to aim, pitch toward it, and keep pointing. You’ll hear how generosity, attention to neighbors at your doorstep, and a reordering of what defines “enough” can loosen the grip of craving—and how a life centered on a self-giving love reshapes the very thing you hunger for. Listen for the unexpected link between grief, a parable, and what actually fills us.
