Dealing with a Narcissist

Dealing with a Narcissist | Genesis 30:25–31:55

Have you ever felt trapped in a relationship that slowly drains the life out of you? Every conversation feels like a battlefield. Facts get twisted. Blame shifts. And you’re left asking, “How much more can I take?”

Long before psychology gave us labels, Scripture exposed the reality.

In this message, we walk through Jacob’s painful relationship with Laban—a man driven by pride, control, and idolatry—and uncover timeless wisdom for dealing with narcissistic people in a God-honoring way.

📖 In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why narcissism is rooted in idolatry, not just personality

How God calls us to wait on Him instead of rushing into confrontation

When it’s time to enact boundaries—not negotiate them

How to stand in the truth without becoming bitter or retaliatory

Why vindication is best when it comes from God, not self-defense

How to discern when enough is enough through observation, revelation, and wise counsel

Jacob didn’t fix Laban. He didn’t shame him. He didn’t try to diagnose him.

He simply stopped standing where Laban could keep hurting him.

Sometimes, for the good to begin, the bad must end.

👉 Watch, listen, and be encouraged by the wisdom of God’s Word.
