Genesis 25:19-34
OPENING ILLUSTRATION: I made a promise to a friend that I would publicly tip my hat to the new BCS National Champions the Auburn Tigers. How many of you watched the game? Well college football is coming to a close for one more season. Pastor Brandon was telling me there's something in Kentucky called Basketball that has started now.
But I want to introduce you to a sports league you may not be aware of - The MLE - Major League Eating. They have a website and everything. The MLE sets the rules and regulations for eating contests all over the world.
Here are a few of the current record holders.
• Timothy Janus ate 7.72 lbs of Buffalo Wings in 12 mins.

• Oleg Zorn-itsky ate 4 32ounce bowls of mayonnaise.
The undefeated King of competitive eating is a guy named Takeru Kobayashi. He held the world record for hot dog eating for nearly six years. His record is eating 53 hotdogs in 10 mins.

That's the essence of what I want to talk to you about today - Dysfunctional Appetites. There are a few things we know for sure about our appetites:
1. They are a God given, - They are not bad. As a matter of fact they remind of to eat, to procreate, to survive.
2. They are Amoral - Appetites in and of themselves are not sinful. Don't ask God to take them away, they can serve you, but they can also destroy you.
3. They are a part of life - As long as you are on this earth you will have cravings, they will never be satisfied completely on this earth.
4. They know one word, "More".
• Food is the one we think of first - Have you ever eaten so much that you thought - I'm never going to eat aga ...
