Summary
In this message from Pastor Levi Lusko, we look at gluttony as more than overeating and uncover how easily our appetites can become disordered, asking food to comfort, control, or satisfy what only God can. From Eden to the table of Jesus, Scripture reveals that eating is never just neutral. You either eat yourself to death, or you eat to the glory of God. This message will help you:Understand what gluttony really is beneath the surfaceIdentify how food may be carrying too much weight in your heart and mindSee how Jesus modeled both feasting and fastingUncover what your cravings are really trying to tell youRedirect your hunger toward the presence of GodNEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about the sin that Jesus was accused of. What do you think that was? |
| 0:08.3 | The sin that Jesus was accused of. Luke chapter 7, we're told, Jesus speaking, the son of man |
| 0:15.4 | feasts and drinks. And you say, he's a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. |
| 0:27.7 | Jesus is telling us, he was accused in his day of being guilty of one of the seven deadly sins, |
| 0:35.3 | the sin of gluttony. Gluttony. There's still time to leave if you |
| 0:39.6 | don't want to hear this message, the sin of gluttony. That's what we're going to be talking about. |
| 0:44.7 | As a guide to our time together, we're going to try and define gluttony, we're going to try and |
| 0:49.2 | understand what's under gluttony so that we can reorder our gluttony, and then we can learn to actually |
| 0:58.3 | indulge our gluttony. That's what we're going to do here. That's sort of our outline, okay? |
| 1:03.9 | So just so you have a sense of where we're going. To frame our thoughts and to better understand |

| 1:22.3 | do it all for the glory of God. |
| 1:26.6 | Our goal today is to understand how we can move from what is normal in our |
| 1:32.3 | culture and in our world and in our lives, what our flesh is going to point us to do, what will |
| 1:36.1 | take no resistance. Let me tell you saying, you don't have to set out to be a glutton. If you just |
| 1:40.1 | live in this world, following your appetites, that's just automatically, like, it's like a moving |
| 1:44.7 | sidewalk. You just stand there and, you know, it's just, that's where, that's, that's the default, okay? |
| 1:50.2 | But we have to be fish swimming upstream to go against the current that's going to be the norm in this |
| 1:57.1 | world to eat, like Paul says, to the glory of God. So Lord, would you help us to do that? |
