Envy – Three Minute Bible

Galatians 5:21a – The Acts of the Flesh Part VII: The Thin Thread Line

The acts of the flesh are obvious: … and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

Summary: As we finish Paul’s list of the “obvious” acts of the flesh, we look at the less obvious sins that occur out of the public’s view.

Summary: This time of year is a great time to re-calibrate what we are thankful for.

… your kingdom come…

Summary: To begin our mediation on God’s kingdom, let’s look at how the Israelites served God under the old covenant.

We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

Summary: Malice and envy are at the root of hating others. Paul explains this so we remember and understand what our Lord has saved us from.
