Pastor Kevin delivered a message on “The Character of God” series, focusing on 1 Corinthians 13 and the topic of envy and boasting. Kevin explained how envy and boasting arise from participating in comparison competitions with others, sharing a personal childhood example from fourth grade about competing for a girl’s attention. He discussed how social media and society perpetuate this competitive mindset, and shared insights from Derek Grant about comparing ourselves only to those with similar fingerprints. Kevin emphasized that true worth should be anchored in God’s love rather than comparison with others and encouraged the congregation to reflect on three questions:

1. What are you training your brain to amplify?
2. What is the lie you are believing?
3. What is the truth that God wants you to hold on to instead?

The service concluded with a song titled “Jireh” about Jehovah Jireh, the provider, and a prayer acknowledging that God’s love is sufficient regardless of circumstances.
