1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Oct 5, 2025    Pastor Jason Dirks

In this powerful exploration of love and envy, we delve into 1 Corinthians 13, focusing on the phrase 'love does not envy.' We're challenged to examine our hearts and recognize how envy can poison our relationships and spiritual growth. The story of King Saul's envy towards David serves as a stark reminder of how destructive this emotion can be, rotting us from the inside out. But there's hope! We're reminded that receiving God's love fills us to the full, leaving no room for envy. By embracing the gospel and focusing on the blessings we have in Christ, we can overcome the temptation to compare ourselves to others. The message encourages us to trust in God's goodness and provision, knowing that He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly. As we reflect on this, let's ask ourselves: How can we cultivate a heart of contentment and love, rather than envy, in our daily lives?
