Gluttony: Society’s Most Acceptable Sin - 1 Corinthians  

My Body is Not a Trash can, My body is The Temple of God! Ty Pastor Ty

I am struggling deeply with the sin of gluttony and emotional eating. Please pray for me brothers and sisters 🙏 in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.

My husband is an obese glutton, and his lifestyle is killing us both. Gluttony is a terrible sin that destroys lives and creates extreme poverty.

"The stomach might be full while the heart remains empty"

Wow! Confirmation. The Holy Spirit spoke to me about this a few weeks ago. I asked Him to help me make His temple holy. So far, he has put me on a 21 day fast from simple sugars and caffeine.I’ve been eating more plant-based. Fruits, vegetables, water or 100% juice. Praying for grace to continue .🙏🏾

Galatians 6:8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

The more you do as you please the less you are pleased and more you do as GOD wants the more you are pleased. Great message!

This was an uncomfortable sermon to listen to, but man, did I need to hear it! Thank you and God bless you Pastor Skip and Calvary!!

Thank you for addressing this. The food industry is designed to cause us to be food addicts. It's an obsession of the and phenomena of craving. 12 step groups help.

I needed to hear this so much today oh, I am five foot six and almost 300 lb. I am diabetic I have high blood pressure I have high cholesterol I had a stroke last year and I also had a heart attack I'm on seven different meds. I'm only I'm trying to live this way of life and this what I needed to hear today thank you so much

Mark 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Such an amazing sermon. God is calling me to speak boldly on gluttony. Now that I live in the joy of the Lord (never did as a morbidly obese woman) I can’t keep this important message to myself. Thanks for this message! I overcame gluttony by choosing to live SugarFreed and inviting Jesus to join me on this journey. Just One Yes (JOY) changed my life. 🙌🏻❤️

What a timely message even right now in this season. Sin of gluttony where we have allowed everything, all things and destroyed the temple of God. It is something worth working on even in my life. Reminds me that I need to live a surrendered life before God and allow God be present in my life. I know that I have fallen many times in sin but I need to get back to a life of the Spirit.

FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a grown son with Down Syndrome~~~ who started eating for comfort when my husband was killed in a horrific Truck driving accident~~ I would work four hours come home and check on him on my lunch~~ and go back for 4 more hours~~ Food became an addiction for him~~ the last 2 years, I have been blessed to be home with him 24-7 aaaand , I SAW~~ how instead of me helping him to be delivered from this~~ I joined this slippery slope~~ being ridiculed for my fasting habits~~ COMING TO MY SENSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Repenting and SEEKING TO PLEASE GOD IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE~~ even my eating and drinking~~~ HONESTLY~~ if my son had started DRINKING, I WOULD HAVE STOOD BETWEEN THAT ALCOHOLIC MONSTER~~ THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For confirming what HOLY SPIRIT IS SPEAKING ! Thank you, sir For CARING MORE ABOUT THE TRUE WORD , than hurting someones feelings! By obeying the Lord in this you have helped SAVE atleaste 2 people from poor health! Thank you!

You are absolutely right. I've never heard a sermon on gluttony, glad you are brave enough to tackle this subject. Moderation is a good way to live.

This is a sermon that I will definitely need to listen to forever and ever.

This is the second sermon in my 45 years living for the Lord, I have heard a sermon on gluttony! I give him credit ... I can talk, because I deal with this area.. Alcoholics just quit drinking, gluttons, have to still eat.. I think it is harder for a glutton, plus so many voices out their on diets ect!!

This is so helpful. Gluttony towards food is the sin I struggle with the most on a daily basis. Thank you for bringing me closer to serving God.

I have a friend who chastised me for not attending church regularly but I did not point out to him that gluttony was also a sin. Fast forward 5 or 6 years, he ended up in the hospital and almost died. His heart and breathing stopped but fortunately was brought back with a defibrillator machine. After a triple bypass surgery and a couple of months of kidney dialysis, he is now battling colon cancer which may or may not be related to his obesity problem. He is having problems getting the chemotherapy he needs due to his weakened condition and things are not looking good. I wish this type of sermon was more common in our churches.

Voddie Baucham says, ‘ if you can’t say Amen, say ouch.’ Ouch!

Wonderful sermon relevant to so many of us. Thank you. Of course emotional, mental and cultural influences must be addressed. However, I also think it's very important to speak on demonic oppression as well. There are spirits of addiction and specifically also spirits of gluttony that can influence over-indulgence. These spirits must be evicted through deliverance prayer and fasting. Don't rely on your own self-discipline to overcome this sin. Lean into Jesus and invite Him on your journey 🙏

Bro this is fire 🔥 God bless you pastor! I declare my mind, body n soul to Jesus Christ!!!

I have watched this several times over and have made notes in my bible and began writing in a notebook. It would be good to journal on the various points Skip has made. I plan to continue to get this deep inside of me as I need it quite a lot. ...making room for the Holy Spirit!

Whew...! Major conviction here man... I have been praying about this for a while and BOOM..! Great message on my next current area to DIE to.. In Jesus Name I can do all things through CHRIST Who strengthens me !!

I gave my testimony at church about a year ago about repenting from gluttony. I had contracted Covid and because of my obesity I didn't fair well. I wasn't hospitalized but my kidneys took a major hit. I needed to make a change and fast. I repented of gluttony and asked God to heal me if it was his will. After 6 months all my health issues had resolved. High cholesterol, fasting glucose of 113, and EGFR of 59.1 all reversed. I went on to lose some more weight and ended up at a BMI of 24 before God granted me pregnancy. What a great way to start off pregnancy. But I was not pregnant yet when I gave my testimony of being healed. I declared the fact that gluttony is a sin and it harms us. Now, looking back, I'm surprised I had the nerves to do that because there are a lot of people in my church who are obese...if not morbidly. I wish more Christians would understand the damage gluttony can do to their ability to serve others.

thank you pastor that was such a blessed sermon .... i really wanted to eat and i was already full .. i kept wanting o snack and that was making me uncomfortable.. so i thought i should watch a sermon on gluttony and im glad i did ... it was such a blessing ...

God thank you I found this sermon and let what was taught get deep down in my soul and let me be obedient. You gave me one body so I have a responsibility to care for it. Thank you Pastor for sharing

It's such a blessing to come across such an enlightening sermon, please pray for me to get out of gluttony

Lord I need your forgiveness for binge eating ... And undereating please help me lord don't forsake me and let your will be done in my life and not my own amen !!!!

Awesome awesome sermon. Enjoyed it so very much. Want to hear it over n over again so the message will sink deep enough in me to bring a transformation. Thank you sooo much Pastor.

God led me to this channel I needed to hear this thank you so much and God bless

Thank you for teaching on this, I really need this word to go deep, and repent of idolatry.. Jesus help me..change for your glory..

Finally admitted the truth about gluttony in my life. I found this and boom I am being set free! Thank you for sharing these truths!

I wish more people will hear this. Thank you.

This message speaks to one of my primary faults, in which i seek the help of God to release me from the bondage of. 👍😇🙏

Thanks for this, Skip. I'm going to pass it around. I know I surely needed the admonition, and I'm sure others will benefit the prompting of the spirit in their own hearts.

Thank you for this. This has got to be one of the most practical, useful message that encompasses the life of a Christian

This is why I like skip he does sermons that are rarely ever spoken about. Good stuff as usual.

"The more I do as I please, the less I am pleased with what I do!" So. 1. "Say Yes!" Hunger for righteousness. 2 Say No! Like Daniel. Self control is a fruit of the spirit. 3. GO! So many outstanding points in this sermon. 👏 The Holy Spirit moved me to find this sermon, and I am so grateful that the pastor lays it all out with scripture and real talk. I have battled morbid obesity - and super morbid obesity (yes, that is a clinical term) for 40 years! Despite being bullied about it, being abused because of it, undergoing many surgeries, allowing it to deaden with my relationships with my husband and son, losing job opportunities, I continously chose sugar and food over God. That's not to say I didn't try willpower. I've tried just about every diet, joined a dozen gyms, and even lost hundreds of pounds, only to gain them all back. Twice! At 52, I have finally, finally surrendered. At 285 pounds, 2 replaced knees, I could barely get on my knees, but i was determined to do it. And i can now do it every morning! And so, today, I choose God over food, for all the reasons the pastor outlines. Notice he never mentions vanity... this is not about a goal weight, size, or body dimensions, but the love I have for Jesus, and the willingness to carry out God's plan for me. As a sugar and food addict, i must consciously make that surrender throughout the day, every day, as junk food is cheap and plentiful. (Side gripe: the fact that one large, good apple costs $1.80 while a loaf of white bread is $1 is unconscionable.)

That's amazing. Great teaching. Very true and glorifying to Yahweh.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SERMON! I was doing a Bible study the other night about Daniel ch 1 and we were talking about how we can honour God through what we eat. Someone pointed out gluttony and I realised that was something I am massively guilty of but never think about. For the past few days, the Holy Spirit has been encouraging me to try and find out more about what the Bible says about gluttony, as it is something that no one has ever talked to me about so I knew nothing about it. This sermon was so helpful to me in understanding what the Bible says about gluttony, why it is a sin, and how to address the issue. Thank you so much!

How hard it is for most Americans as we mostly eat out of boredom. Or eat for taste instead of sustenance. Or eat for muscular gains/shape, while a majority of the world starves. How rich our country is to have our poor be overweight, where signs of plumpness is richness. How rich our country is for our people to have the privilege to fast when we want to. Christians, No matter eating, or drinking, whatever you do do for the glory of God.

This is an important message. Thank you Skip. The benefits of taking care of our bodies are many. Hearing the spiritual component reinforces what we already know about healthy lifestyle.

What a powerful sermon, God brought me this video in a time I needed it the most. My mind, spirit, and body has been made new after hearing this. Thank you Jesus!

O man 😒pray for me I need to stop overeating 🙏✝️

This is the BEST sermon I have ever heard!!!!!

I've enjoyed listening to the White Collar Sins messages. I've listened to most of them multiple times and will definitely repeat the series. Thanks so much!

I struggled to give up cigarettes and had my kids help me stop cussing.And now Im sinning with food.Ive traded one for the other.We need more sermons like this

Wonderful sermon and application! Thank you :)

Thanks pastor!🙏I love you this was a great sermon i learned some important info that I will try to apply to my life pray for me and my self control

I sooo enjoyed this message thank you Paster ♥️🕊♥️

I thank you pastor for teaching on this very needed message under the anointing and I confess this has been a huge sin I have committed and God has answered my prayer for dealing with me today...

I’ve been needing to learn more about this, I’ll be honest in saying I put off watching this, I’ve seen it pop up for about a week or so. And reaching for an Apple after dinner reminded me.. I’ll save the Apple for later. I’m writing this stuff down and saving this video to a playlist, this is incredibly insightful! Thank you! : )

"God holds your very breath in his hands," very meaningful during the COVID-19.

Very necessary sermon. Thank you for faithfully preaching God’s Word.

It's hard... growing up abused in a variety of ways by a variety of people, food became my first love... oh, what comfort it gave me and gives me!

This was awesome. And no, haven't heard a thorough sermon on health and self control. The Christian world needs this, we all need to know this. Thank you so much

Never heard a sermon on gluttony in my life. This was a great eye opener. Thanks so much.

I love the Pastor’s sermon here today. Wow! So awesome!

so deep this has to be one of best devine sermons .. thank you keep me in prayer ...Im a guitarist and born to be a worshiper and change peoples lives through music....and yet i struggle with so much pain .. pray God help me wake up

God bless this pastor for putting out there what each of us "know" deep down but pay no attention to because it`s such an integral part of our entitled culture - floating freely "under the radar" for Satan to use and manipulate to our demise. I for one needed to hear this and feel blessed for having come across this sermon.

Thank you for the easy to follow and practical Word. I will always remember to say Yes, No and Go. Bless you.

This was a great sermon. Thank you for sharing the Lord's words

This kind of sermon is needed. When we had our Bible study. They talked about sin cigarettes, drinking and drugs. I brought up gluttony is also over eating and eating things that are entering our body and the Donut's and snacks we brought to Bible study. However, snacks change to fruit and veggie and coffee cause they agreed our body is the temple. Like you said this is not spoken in the church. I am one who does struggle in this too. Thank for this sermon. We need more.

Lord help me with self control!

Amen. Thank you for the word that we hear today. God bless.

hi all, this is sooooooo important to me, serious struggles... i went down the rode of fasting. so healthy, don't let anyone tell you different, also powerful things happen AFTER the fast AFTER. this sermon made me emotional. as far as seeing a fat person: well, he mentioned variables, well, i never met my biological dad my whole life long, until i was 32 years old... now, i've always been the oddball in the family, mom, sister, even step dad never had weight problems... when my biological dad opened the door, i was looking in a mirror, height, weight, shape, EVERYTHING. that is my testimony to genetics... so, thanks pastor for mentioning this... anyone reading, please take one second to pray for me, to have VICTORY over this issue... i've gotten victory over so much in life, but NOT this one thing... on and on and on... all GLORY PRAISE AND HONOR TO YHWH, our LORD AND SAVIOUR! HALLELUJAH thanks for the post... SHALOM SHALOM n GOD BLESS you and keep you and make HIS face to shine upon you... also, pass this along: stick to KJV... the best, so savory!

Thank You and Bless You for this Real Talk and Reality Check … I confessed w my mouth that I have sinned w overeating for too long ... Thank you Lord for this message that has set me free from this Food Stronghold w Love Kindness and Understanding from a Spiritual Responsibility Perspective… I own it and will turn it around for Your Glory Abba Father … Love Your Daughter Forever & Ever 🙌🏽‼️

Great sermon, thankyou. Going to apply everything you said and pray!

Ahh at last a brother who speaks truth!!! How refreshing its time to say yes and live for God❤❤❤

VERY POWERFUL MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR SKIP

I once heard a visitor from Africa here in the USA say when he was taken to a buffet. Oh my God! You all are going to hell with your eating! Please pray for me!

Excellent sermon. Thanks.

thank you Jesus for this guy

Amen powerful video.

wow I loved this sermon!!! Something I never heard before. ! By intuition I started fasting a couple of years ago (intermittend and extended) just for loosing weight and health benefits. Before all that I prayed a lot to God to show me how should I proceed to loose weight - I always felt I have tendency to be addicted to food. Now I have diabetes II so I have no choice then to become healthy (in my mind before anything ) about eating! thanks to this sermon I have a widened view on things now! God bless you - I am soooooo thankful

Whew! I know that wasn't an easy sermon topic to speak on! I applaud your courage and your commitment to truth. Gluttony is so accepted in Christian circles, and that's troublesome because it does limit our capacity to serve God and be usable to Him. Also, it can create extra weight on our bodies, which negates the fruit of self-control that should be one of the hallmarks of a Christian. Overweight, out of shape Christians are not honoring God with their bodies.

Thank you for addressing this, more Christians should listen

Processed foods and processed sugar are very addictive. The food companies design there foods on purpose to be addictive. I was a food addict for most of my life. Until I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. (This is supposed to be incurable says the medical Doctors) Long story short. By cutting out the processed foods and processed sugar. I have dropped seven prescription drugs I was supposed to be on for life. Lost 40 pounds. And almost completely have my life back. It’s very difficult to make these changes for life. Although, in time if you stick with it. You will retrain your taste buds to not desire the junk food.

So true. Great message Pastor Skip

I'm watching this years after the original sermon. I'm am addict freed from drugs and alcohol, unfortunately, I e picked up an addiction to food. I've noticed I'm an emotional eater. I've become so ashamed and embarrassed by how I look now. So embarrassed I stopped going to church because I don't want to be judged. I e tried to overcome this but I fail and I think it's because of my thinking. Vain and selfish!!! I desperately need and want God help! I need and want Him to change my way of thinking so I want to overcome this addiction because of Him and not me. I desperately want and need Him to do whatever He sees fit to make me stop! He freed me from heroin so I know He can free me from food. Please pray

Skip, well done. I wish more pastors would speak on this topic.

GREAT WORD!!!!!

I heard my first sermon about Gluttony yesterday!!! So this is my 2nd one but really worth to hear and think about

So true, this is the first sermon I have ever heard on this.

Thank you for this message

Great great message, thank you.

This is so important, its affecting everyone, gluttony comes in many forms.

One of the best sermons on gluttony I have heard - really made me think about my body needing to be used for God’s purposes and keeping it healthy is thanking Him for this gift. Thank you!

Awesome sermon.

Excellent message!!

I need to hear this daily!!! And gluttony should be preached in the pulpit. My previous pastor used to brag about eating alot of Taco Bell food!!!!! A preacher should not be bragging if what he should be ashamed of

I don't think gluttony was popular to speak against back then, because many people were poor and practically starving... so filling up excessively whenever it was possible, was actually a prudent survival strategy

This was a word 🙌🏾

I'm listening to this today and it's not a coincidence that the biblical verse today is Galatians 5:22-23!

Great Teaching

Excellent sermon

Praise God! Excellent ❤

Ouch! But I needed to hear this.

With Gluttony the image of self indulgance comes to mind, as well as the idea of financial gluttony and the indulgances that Martin Luther fought so hard against.
