Seven—A Lenten Series :: 3/9/25 :: Katie Gayle
Welcome to Wellspring Church!
What happens when comparison takes root in our hearts? In this message, Pastor Katie Gayle, Executive Pastor of Ministry, explores the dangers of envy—how it distorts our identity, disrupts our relationships, and robs us of gratitude.
Looking at James 3 and John 8, we see that envy stems from a comparative mindset, making us feel less than or lacking. But Jesus offers true freedom—an identity rooted in God’s unconditional love, not in how we measure up to others.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 How comparison fuels envy and distances us from God and others
🔹 Why envy is spiritually destructive and leads to restlessness
🔹 The truth of Jesus that sets us free from the need to compare
🔹 Practical ways to overcome envy through contentment and blessing others
Envy thrives in comparison, but freedom is found in knowing we are fully loved by God. As we surrender envy, we are free to bless others instead of competing with them.
