Seven Deadly Sins

Nov 24, 2024    Jason Sharpe

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.
