The Church's Most Overlooked Sin

Happy 2026 my friendships! No better time to talk about food than with the start of a new year when so many are motivated to make diet and lifestyle changes! In my experience, gluttony seems to be one of those topics that rarely gets addressed in the church, yet Scripture speaks about our appetites with surprising clarity and significance. In this video, I lay a biblical foundation, offer honest heart-level questions to ask yourself, and consider why many of us turn to food as an emotional crutch in our lives. I hope it encourages you to examine the small, ordinary ways we try to satisfy ourselves with things other than God Himself. 0:00 The Church & gluttony 1:58 What does Scripture say? 3:59 Why do we give into gluttony? 4:41 The heart issue 5:32 Practical application 6:29 Self examination 8:21 Fasting 9:51 Holidays 10:23 Assess your hunger 11:13 Building self-control 12:23 Final encouragement ----- I hope this video encouraged you today - if it did and you'd like to see more like it, be sure to SUBSCRIBE!
