Envy is an ugly, destructive vice. It destroys your ability to enjoy God’s gifts, poisons your relationships, and can erode your faith if left unchecked. But the grace of God in Jesus Christ has the power to free you from envy’s grip.

Listen as Ryan examines Saul’s envy of David in 1 Samuel 19.

This sermon was preached on September 29, 2024, at Grace Bible Church in Escondido, California.
