    Sermon Summary:

    This sermon addresses the human tendency to constantly compare ourselves to others, leading to envy and dissatisfaction. The speaker emphasizes that there is "no win in comparison" and encourages listeners to find contentment and peace by focusing on God's view of them rather than measuring themselves against others. The message highlights the futility of always seeking more and the importance of finding tranquility in what God has provided.

    Key Points:

    • Constant comparison to others leads to dissatisfaction and envy
    • There is "no win in comparison" - it's meaningless and like chasing the wind
    • Envy can lead to destructive behaviors and attitudes
    • It's better to have "one handful with tranquility" than two handfuls with toil
    • We should take our cue about ourselves from God, not from comparing to others
    • Finding peace and acceptance in God's view of us is the path to contentment

    Scripture Reference:

    • Ecclesiastes 4:4-8 (primary focus)
    • Proverbs 14:30 (supporting reference)
