Coveting

Pastor Bill Bush · Sep 5, 2021

Drawing from the story of Achan in Joshua 7, Pastor Bill traces coveting as the root sin behind nearly every way we disregard God. Coveting — the same act that caused Satan's fall — leads us through a predictable progression: comparison, conflict, and consumption. God takes this seriously because He loves us enough to warn us that chasing what isn't ours will ultimately destroy us. The answer is to choose trust over lust: giving God the first fruits of our time, money, and gifts, rejoicing in what we have, releasing generously to others, and refocusing on what is eternal rather than temporary.
