The Jealous Person | Sermon Only | Bishop Keith W. Reed, Sr. | 2026

About this sermon

Jealousy is one of the most dangerous emotions a believer can carry. In this powerful message, Bishop Keith W. Reed, Sr. teaches from 1 Samuel 18 and exposes the destructive nature of jealousy through the relationship between David and King Saul. After David’s victory over Goliath, the people began to celebrate him, but what started as celebration quickly turned into jealousy in Saul’s heart. Instead of rejoicing over David’s success, Saul became threatened by it. This moment reveals a powerful truth: jealousy can make someone who once supported you become someone who opposes you. Through this biblical narrative, we learn that jealousy is not just an emotional response—it can lead to insecurity, hostility, and even spiritual blindness. The story reminds believers that God’s favor on your life may provoke jealousy in others, but you must remain faithful to your calling. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts while also teaching us how to navigate situations when jealousy arises around us. God’s purpose for your life cannot be stopped by someone else’s jealousy, but it will reveal the condition of hearts around you. Watch this message and discover how to remain focused on God’s assignment even when jealousy tries to disrupt your path.
