Jul 10, 2025    Art Snow

In this Bible study, Art Snow walks through the dynamic and cautionary relationship between David and King Saul, exploring the spiritual and emotional pitfalls of jealousy. Through Romans 12:15 and 1 Samuel 18, we are challenged to truly live in godly community—rejoicing with others in their success and weeping with them in their sorrow. Art emphasizes the destructive power of envy and suspicion, highlighting how Saul's jealousy led to personal and national turmoil. By drawing parallels with modern church life, including a story from Pastor Jack Hayford, this teaching urges believers to guard their hearts and build up one another in love and humility.
