Pastor Daniel Goulding · Feb 20, 2023
Drawing from the story of Esau trading his birthright for a bowl of stew in Genesis 25, Pastor Daniel Goulding warns that every person carries God-given appetites — for success, respect, possessions, comfort, achievement — that sin has distorted. Left unchecked, these appetites exploit desperation, manufacture urgency, and blind us to the larger story God is writing through our lives. The sermon calls followers of Jesus to reframe their desires against the vision God has for them, rely on the power of the Holy Spirit, and refuse to trade an eternal destiny for momentary gratification.
