TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - JULY 31, 2019
Wednesday, July 31, 2019 at 9:24AM Of Faith & Envy
Today is July 31, 2019
Welcome to your mid-week!
This past Sunday I was away at our EM Family Retreat so Pastor Tim Lee from SBMC preached on my behalf, and he preached from 1 Samuel 18:1-19. And, in that passage, he focused on the relationship of Saul and David, talking about what makes and breaks relationships.
For Pastor Tim, relationships that make it are centered on the gospel. They have a common faith and a common hope. When everything changes, it is the gospel that stays the same and, so, that is what brings stability, longevity, and meaning.
On the other side, what breaks relationships for Pastor Tim is envy. Envy makes it so we can't enjoy other people successes or our own successes. In the end, envy destroys relationships.
And so, the challenge was clear: Commit more to relationships of faith and guard your heart against the sin of envy.
God's blessing upon you this week and I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.
