Covetousness and the Christian Walk

30th June 2024
In this sermon, we explore the nature of covetousness through the lens of Joseph's trials in Egypt and the later teachings of Jesus and Paul. Highlighting the deep nature of the intentions of the heart, the sermon illustrates how covetousness extends beyond mere sight to encompass a deeper, wrongful desire to have what is not rightfully ours. By examining Biblical passages, the sermon provides guidance on overcoming such temptations and stresses the importance of aligning our desires with God’s will to lead a righteous Christian life.

"Jesus only did what he saw the Father leading him or what the Father led him by the Spirit to do. And the words that he gave were the words of the Father. Jesus was the conduit of the kingdom of heaven, now down on earth, by virtue of him being that Messiah. He was expected by the Jewish nation, and that's who he was. And someone here has very nicely fixed that book and left it out on the table there by taking something and sticking it over that last page, it just says God, and allowing the final page to be the previous one, which very clearly says who he is, that he is the Son of God."

"It is one of the joys of my time here in Salisbury to go around to the different home groups, and they're on different nights of the week, though there is one night where there's three of them, so I don't get to those three as often as the others, but to go around and to hear what God's people of our church are learning from the Word of God."

"It's a terrific thing to come together and know that we have connections broader than just our local church. It's very Baptist-like, you know, to see the centre of the church life being the local church, but it's also something in our heritage that we can have associations at a broader level."
