Crushing Comparison
Compassion > Comparison
February 19, 2023 • Rev. Wendy Jones • Matthew 13:13–14, Colossians 3:12
The bad habit of comparison causes harm and blinds us and hardens our hearts to the needs of others. Compassion has the power to set us free from the bad habit of comparison and can soften our hearts toward those who are hurting. But the healthy habit of compassion is a learned behavior that must be nurtured by us (with some help from the Holy Spirit).
Celebration > Comparison
February 12, 2023 • Rev. Wendy Jones • Philippians 2:3–4, Romans 12:15
The bad habit of comparison causes harm in us and poisons our relationships. Celebration has the power to set us free from the bad habit of comparison and can strengthen our relationships. But the healthy habit of celebration is a learned behavior, it is a choice only we can make (with some help from the Holy Spirit).
Contentment > Comparison
February 5, 2023 • Rev. Wendy Jones • Philippians 4:8–9, Philippians 4:11–13
The bad habit of comparison causes harm in us and through us. Contentment has the power to set us free from the bad habit of comparing ourselves to everyone and everything. But the healthy habit of contentment is a learned behavior that must be nurtured by us (with some help from the Holy Spirit).
