🌟 **Welcome to Memorial Baptist Church!**
This Sunday, we're continuing our **“7 Deadly Sins”** series with Week 4, and we're confronting a sin that can quietly steal our joy, damage relationships, and turn blessings into bitterness—**ENVY.** It's amazing how quickly we can lose sight of what God has given us when we're focused on what He's given someone else.
🎙️ **This Week's Sermon: “Envy”**
We're excited to have **Bro. Harris Noffsinger**, who has been faithfully leading our youth ministry, bringing God's Word this Sunday! He'll be preaching from *1 Samuel 18:5–11*, where King Saul's jealousy of David begins to consume him. **Envy keeps score, turns allies into threats, and allows bitterness to take root.** But God calls us to a better way—one marked by gratitude, humility, and genuine love for others.
🎶 **Worship With Us**
Our worship band, led by **Giulio Garner**, will lead us in *Everlasting God, This Is Our God, At the Cross (Love Ran Red),* and *Gratitude.* Come ready to worship the God whose goodness is more than enough!
🍞 **The Lord's Supper**
We'll also gather around the Lord's Table, led by **Mr. Riggs**, as we remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us. It's a beautiful opportunity to turn our attention away from ourselves and back to the Savior who gave everything for us.

🔥 **Why It Matters**
**Envy makes someone else's blessing feel like our loss.** But when we learn to celebrate what God is doing in others, we discover a freedom that comparison could never give us.
