Comparison Kills: Be Free - Wk 3

If you could see you the way God sees you, you would stop playing the comparison game the world is playing.

The sermon "Comparison Kills" by Pastor Joby Martin teaches us about the dangers and pitfalls of seeking other's approval and constant comparison. It highlights the significant principles presented in the book of Galatians, primarily focusing on the freedom that the gospel offers.

Pastor Joby, using a personal encounter, suggests that Christians should not be defined by their desire to please others, but should rather take satisfaction in the approval they receive from God.

Diving deeper, he details the destructive aspects of comparison and how it leads to discontentment and restricts our spiritual freedom. Using relatable examples from social media and a culture of victimhood, he urges listeners to concentrate on their own journey rather than making comparisons with others.
