Sermon: The Gospel According to Bluey | Week 3: Baby Race // Brent Levy

Date

August 18, 2024

Synopsis

In this sermon, Pastor Brent explores the theme of comparison through the lens of the popular children's show "Bluey," specifically the episode "Baby Race." He delves into how comparison can corrode relationships and self-worth and even fuel larger conflicts. Listeners will learn about biblical examples of comparison-driven conflicts, from Cain and Abel to the disciples arguing over who is the greatest. Most importantly, the sermon offers a powerful antidote to comparison: Communion with God. Through exploring passages from Isaiah, Pastor Brent reminds us of God's unconditional love and presence, even in our struggles. This message will help listeners navigate feelings of inadequacy, jealousy, and fear of not measuring up in their daily lives. By embracing the truth of God's love, listeners are encouraged to let go of harmful comparisons and move towards celebration of one another's gifts, beauty, and belonging in diversity.
