🎥 “The Jealousy of Joseph’s Brothers”

📖 Genesis 37:1–11


💬 “It is the green-eyed monster…” — Shakespeare

Jealousy. It slithers in quietly, hides behind smiles, and poisons relationships before we realize it’s there. In this week’s message, we continue the story of Joseph—a young man beloved by his father, gifted with divine dreams… and hated by his brothers.


Their jealousy started as a seed—fueled by favoritism, fed by comparison, and finally erupting in hatred. But beneath their envy, God was already weaving a bigger story—a story of salvation and grace.


👀 In this message, we explore:

✔ How jealousy quietly festers in our hearts

✔ Why comparison is a thief of joy and peace

✔ What Joseph’s dreams tell us about God’s redemptive plan

✔ How Jesus, like Joseph, was rejected—but became our Rescuer

✔ How to uproot jealousy before it takes hold


Whether it’s at work, on social media, in friendships, or even within our families—jealousy is a battle we all face. But the gospel gives us the power to overcome it. When we remember what we have in Christ, there’s no need to chase what others have.


🧥 Joseph’s brothers hated his robe. But Jesus offers you something better—a robe of righteousness, freely given by grace. Let go of the comparison trap, and find contentment in Him.
