Intro:
Groups -
We all have drama.
It is all around us.
When there is drama in our lives it puts everything that we value in jeopardy.
There is so much at stake.
Our country… Stop the drama.
We see in social media.
Stop the drama.
Ill - Jesus - Stop The Drama
Stopping something is harder than starting something.
When something starts and picks up momentum it is difficult to slow down much less stop.
If you stop you are weak...
Stopping something takes strength.
We want to stop the right things in the right way for the right reasons.
We: Drama is draining, it’s frustrating, its side ways energy.
Solamon
To stop the drama I need to stop comparing
Drama is draining, it’s frustrating, its side ways energy.
God:
Motivated = Driven by competition
Ecc
Chasing = Never accomplish
4 Areas Of Comparison:
Possessions (cars, house, clothes, salary)
Appearance (body, shape, eye, hair)
Performance (job, spouse, parent)
Circumstances (kids, no kids, loved one sick/died)
He saw people determining where they were based on where everyone else was.
They were measuring themselves against other people.
Are we suppose to have no ambition?
E
No. Solomon
One open hand with something in it PEACE than to have two hands grabbing for more.
He had no one to leave this to… I can’t enjoy what I have because I’m not CONTENT.
I’m working so heard I can’t enjoy life.
Comparing yourself to other people is like chasing the wind.
It is meaningless and cause you to be depressed.
There will be someone that has more than you - Possessions, Appearance, Performance, Circumstance.
You will also have more than other people.
Comparing is depressing.
Comparing Causes...
Pride - I have more.
Therefore I’m better.
Resentment - God, you owe me!
They don’t deserve that.
Greed - You will want things you can’t afford.
Divorce - finances = Drama
envy, drama
The book of James tells us what happens when we compare.
James
DISORDER - Marital, office, family
EVIL - they wanted Jesus killed because they envied him
Marital, office, family
What or whom am I going to use as my reference point to tell me I’m okay… that I’m doing right?
What is my measuring stick for contentment?
Christianity has the solution and the answer.
Mankind broke the relationship with God.
We enter into this world broken people.
Are attempt to fix it by using the wrong measure.
Jesus is the reference point.
Ill - Bear, I just have to be faster than you.
I just want to have more than you.
10 you are also complete through your union with Christ
HOW TO STOP THE DRAMA -
Run your race.
Comparison slows you up.
Mom and dad teach you kids to run there on race.
I can’t run your race and you can’t run my race.
2. See yourself as god see you.
you also are complete
I don’t have to see myself as you see me.
It’s stupid!
I don’t have to measure up to my brother, mother or boss.
I don’t have to see myself as you see me.
It’s stupid!
3. Celebrate what God has given others.
When your daughter doesn’t make cheerleading
4. Leverage what God has given you.
You can’t leverage what I have or someone else has.
BUT you can leverage what you have.
Give your best not just better than the other guy.
Is this possible?
- Yes, you can STOP THE DRAMA.
Video: Struggle (Maybe) This is how you don’t do it.
When you stop comparing you change and drama will stop.
Six questions...
1. Are you tired from trying to keep up?
2. Are you financially strapped from trying to keep up?
3. Are you allowing what others have to keep you from enjoying what you have?
4. Do you enjoy your kids or pressure your kids?
4. Do you enjoy your kids or pressure your kids?
5. Does your spouse feel you don’t enjoy them because you compare them?
6.
Is there someone you secretly wish would fail? - is there anything more evil?
When your reference point is Jesus you have contentment and not comparison.
In him you measure up and you are complete.
So, when I compare I have more drama and when I’m content the drama stops.
When your reference point is Jesus
