This week, we continue our Sermon Series, "Am I The Problem?", with Pastor Abbie's insightful message on the pitfalls of comparison, drawing inspiration from the story of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel in Genesis 29 and 30. In this biblical account, we see how comparison breeds chaos, competitiveness, control, and feelings of envy and jealousy. These negative emotions harm our relationships and hinder our spiritual growth.

Pastor Abbie asks, "Am I the problem?" to encourage self-reflection on our role in fostering a comparison-driven mindset. She highlights that while we may be part of the problem, we are not stuck this way. Three factors often prevent us from identifying when we are the problem: justifying our behavior, lacking a community of accountability, and failing to slow down for self-reflection. Pride plays a significant role in this process as well.

To break free from the comparison cycle, Pastor Abbie offers a three-step approach: Name, Address, and Release it. We can find freedom and cultivate healthier relationships by acknowledging the issue, taking responsibility, and letting go of the need to compare ourselves to others.

Join us for this empowering message from Pastor Abbie on overcoming the destructive nature of comparison and embracing a more fulfilling, Christ-centered life. Don't miss out on the rest of the "Am I The Problem?" Sermon Series, as we explore various aspects of self-awareness and personal growth in our faith journey.
