Family Summer Series

Jul 13, 2025    Pastor Scott Slone

In this powerful exploration of jealousy within families, we're reminded of the destructive force it can have on our relationships and spiritual lives. Drawing from the stories of Jacob and Esau, Leah and Rachel, Joseph and his brothers, and Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, we see how jealousy can tear apart even the closest of bonds. The key message is clear: to overcome jealousy, we must embrace forgiveness, acceptance, and unwavering faith in God's plan. These biblical accounts serve as mirrors to our own lives, challenging us to examine where jealousy might be poisoning our relationships. Are we, like Rachel and Leah, constantly competing for attention and favor? Or can we, like Joseph, trust in God's greater purpose even when we've been wronged? This message calls us to rise above our petty jealousies and see the bigger picture of God's sovereign plan, encouraging us to foster unity and love within our families and communities.
