Seven Deadly Sins

Pastor Jason Sharpe addresses the sin of gluttony, defined as an excessive desire for food that surpasses its intended purpose. Using examples from Genesis 25:27-34 and Esau's impulsive exchange of his birthright for a meal, it highlights how unchecked appetite can lead to poor spiritual and practical decisions.

Gluttony is a deadly sin for two reasons: it can harm physical health and signifies misplaced trust when food becomes a substitute for reliance on God. Believers are called to examine their relationship with food, asking whether it glorifies God or has become an idol.

Through 1 Corinthians 10:31 and Jesus' example of resisting temptation in Matthew 4:1-4, Pastor Jason Sharpe emphasizes living with self-control, prioritizing spiritual nourishment, and trusting God for fulfillment beyond physical needs.
