Sermons About Jealousy
Joseph's Attitude Adjustment
We're not perfect: you know it, your spouse knows it, your friends know it, your parents know it, your pastor knows it. We have to face it. There are some of us that sometimes have this aura around us that we have it all together - everything is under control. Joseph thought he had it all together until God gave him a very long attitude adjustment.

The deep desires of our heart
I must admit that I have never seen the TV show 'Desperate Housewives', and from what I've read about it, I don't think I ever want to. Anyway I don't need to, because there is a better version here in the Bible. Here in our text we have two desperate housewives: Leah and Rachel. One is desperate for love, the other is desperate for children.

Joseph: God's Plan Is Always Best
Genesis 37-50 The story of Joseph has been told and re-told for thousands of years in literature, and on the stage. This is only natural as it combines all of the elements of great drama. But the core truth of the life of Joseph is that forgiveness and mercy are a more powerful force than are jealousy and treachery. This story still resonates in our hearts today because we continue to live in a world where selfishness and revenge are prevalent.

John 3:22-4:3 Joy or Bitterness; life or Death?
It amazes me how cleverly John put this book together to tell his story clearly and with the vision for us to believe and worship his God, Jesus Christ. Our passage comes off the heals of a passage defining what being born from above is, and then turns to how bitter jealousy can rob our joy, right before he goes into an incredible story of worship in chapter 4. Let’s enjoy the feast!
