Lesson Summary
Summary – Envy will tell us things like: “You deserve more than what you have!” or “You won’t be happy until….”.
Envy causes us to compare and compete with others in an unhealthy and ungodly way.
It brings arrogance when we’re winning and discouragement when we’re not.
According to James 3:16, it can lead to every vile practice.
But envy doesn’t have to control us.
Main Idea – “Envy is when you count someone else’s blessings instead of your own.”
Prayer Point – Pray that our students would find such security in God’s call in their lives, that envy finds no place in their hearts.
Pray that God would give them insight in the areas of their lives where envy wants to creep in, and that they would guard their hearts!
Small Group Questions:

What do they share in common?

Last Week Summary
Last week we talked about the dangers of comparison
The fastest way to ruin something good is to compare it to something else!
Tonight I want to talk about one of the specific dangers that comparison can pose and that social media can feed
Envy
Jealousy vs Envy
In the Bible, the words translated envy or jealousy are the same words
But there is a little bit of a distinction between the two
Envy - When we lack a desired attribute enjoyed by another
Envy is a two person situation and is a reaction to lacking something
I lack or wish I had his or her looks, abilities, material possessions, lifestyles, etc...
Jealousy - When something we already posses is threatened by a third person
Jealousy is a three-person/thing situation, and is a reaction to the threat of losing something or someone
Position at a job is threatened by a more charismatic leader
Your spot on the football team is threatened by someone who is faster and stronger than you
Your friend relationship is threatened by that cool person everyone wants to hang out with
Why do we Envy?
Dissatisfaction or Ungratefullness Focusing on what one doesn’t have rather than what one does have.
You ever heard the saying, “count your blessings?”
“Envy is when you count someone else’s blessings instead of your own.”
Proverbs 14:30 “A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.”
A healthy heart…one that is contented will give life, but envy will eat us up inside
Insecurity/Low self-esteem.
An individual who do not feel good about their self often seeks significance in their circumstances rather than their true self
“Envy is a form of hatred built on insecurity.”
Pride.
The false idea that one deserves a life filled with personal gain and satisfaction.
It makes life more about you than about God.
You feel like life or maybe even God owes you something.
