In this week’s message, Dr. Scott McKee continues our journey through 1 Corinthians 13 with a stirring reflection on the simple yet searching phrase, “Love does not envy.” With wisdom both pastoral and deeply personal, Pastor Scott invites us to confront how comparison steals joy, gratitude, and connection—and how love, rightly rooted, restores them. Through Jesus’ parable of the vineyard workers in Matthew 20, he offers five antidotes to envy: stop comparing, celebrate God’s grace to others, practice gratitude, trust God when life feels unfair, and stay focused on the unique path He has set before you. Yet the power of this message transcends principles—it’s carried by the weight of lived experience. Speaking from his own journey through physical suffering, Pastor Scott bears witness to a faith that still finds joy, perspective, and peace in God’s goodness. His words remind us that love without envy isn’t naïve optimism but hard-won trust in a faithful God. This is a message that stills the soul and reorders the heart toward gratitude and grace. May we be a people who carry the torch forward with courage, humility, and generational faithfulness.
