Summary
This sermon examines the biblical character Nabal from 1 Samuel 25, describing him as a wealthy but foolish man who lived out of his emotions rather than wisdom. Pastor contrasts Nabal with his intelligent wife Abigail, who demonstrated common sense and people skills when she prevented David from massacring their household after Nabal insulted the future king. The message emphasizes the dangers of living out of one’s ‘soul’ (emotions) rather than spirit, showing how emotional reactions lead to poor decisions and spiritual failure. Through various biblical examples including Moses, Saul, and David himself, the pastor illustrates how uncontrolled emotions can destroy ministries and relationships, while those who learn to control their soul can become assets to God’s kingdom.
