    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,595 views

    The OT has a lot of interesting stories about idolatry, but is that really just a problem of the past? This sermon addresses the very real problem that our culture has in worshiping our own desires above all else.

    To the reader: What inspired this sermon was a quote I read in R.C. Ortlund’s book, When God Comes To Church, p. 194. "Self is the great idol standing at the center of our conceptual world, to which all bow low. We even have a duty-to-self ethic, as if self-denial were harmful, immoral, and ...read more

    Getting Past Self-Indulgence

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 6, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,913 views

    Self-indulgence does not mean denying yourself what you actually need, but meeting needs easily turns into obsession. The way out is service to others.

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 19, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,648 views

    We all wear masks, which puts us in danger of losing our real selves. Jesus shows us how to be real as He deals with threatening people, hostile people, and those whose hearts are full of pain. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

You lose your real self. And that is a huge loss. It is crucial to get real with yourself. The poet Paul ...read more
