About this listen

In the message Pastor Brent explored how comparison steals our joy and blinds us to God's goodness in our own lives. We examined how the thief of comparison transforms gratitude into grumbling, causing us to measure our blessings against others rather than looking up to God. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 5:18—"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you"—we discovered that true contentment comes not from having what others have, but from recognizing our unique identity and assignment in Christ. This message challenged us to run our own race without looking sideways, to stop watering our neighbor's garden while our own goes untended, and to realize that what God has placed in us isn't for us alone—it's meant to flow through us to others.
