Great sermons on Answers to Prayer and Jealousy

I heard two excellent sermons recently, and commend them to you.

1. Nate Wilson spoke on Jesus in the Garden.  Nate recently went through the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, so his message on Jesus praying and getting a no answer from God in the Garden is riveting.  Sometimes God sends us to the cross, into the fiery trial, though we don't want to go.  Don't define your faith or life by your feelings.  As always, Nate has a way of bringing together many aspects of the Christian life of discipleship into one rich tapestry.

2. Alistair Begg spoke to college students on jealousy.  Begg points out from James that conflicts arise often from jealousy, and that's borne out in my own experience.  This can be hard to prove - the jealous person usually lies to himself or others that they aren't really jealous - they are standing on some principle instead.  The solution is to preach incisively and for conviction, describing jealousy and its effects so that you see yourself.  Begg does this very well.
