How does comparing ourselves to others affect our relationship with God? Pastor James shows through God’s word how covetousness can be a form of idolatry, as seen in Colossians 3:5, and how comparing ourselves to others can lead to being discontent. Learn how contentment, rooted in trusting God's timing and provision, is the key to overcoming this struggle and growing in faith.
ABOUT THIS SERMON
In this sermon, we dive deep into the first and last of the Ten Commandments: having no other gods before God and not coveting. Pastor James draws a powerful connection between these two commandments, showing how covetousness is, in fact, a form of idolatry according to Colossians 3:5. He shares how contentment is the antidote to covetousness and that true contentment isn't about lacking ambition, but rather about trusting God's timing and provision while remaining faithful for growth. Tune in to discover how you can find peace in God’s plan for your life!
