Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.Jealousy often exposes our own underperformance, revealing where we have been casual rather than committed.
- 2.Jealousy coddles comparison by fueling resentment whenever another person's success is viewed as our loss.
- 3.Jealousy evolves in isolation, growing stronger as long as it remains unexposed in the dark places of the heart.
- 4.Jealousy attacks the innocent, causing people to act illogically and attack those they should be learning from.
- 5.Jealousy creates a curse by robbing us of productivity, stability, and peace.
- 6.Culture handles dark seasons through escapism, religion handles them through denial, but the King's way is to develop through them.
- 7.Envy is wanting what someone else has, whereas jealousy is being upset that they have it.

Sermon Moments
“Culture's way is to run from the dark through escapism. The church's way is to pretend it is not dark through denial. The King's way is to develop in the dark.”
“Abel wasn't better, Cain was casual.”
“Envy is wanting what someone else has. Jealousy is being upset that they have it.”
“Jealousy doesn't begin when someone wins. Jealousy begins when we decide that their win means our loss.”
“Love doesn't fix jealousy, growth does.”
“Jealousy robs you of your own productivity because the energy, focus, and attention given to someone else's field could be given to yours.”
“God does not reveal truth to us to make us paranoid; He reveals truth to make us prepared.”
“When you don't admit you're wrestling with something, it fights you while you are not fighting back.”
