    Contributed by John Dobbs on Oct 4, 2023
     | 986 views

    One of the first stories we learn as children is the story of Jonah and the Big Fish. But the story about Jonah that we remember is seldom the whole story.

    JONAH’S NIGHT OF SELF-IMPOSED MISERY But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty ...read more

    Bowing To The Great Idol Of Self

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,990 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
     | 4,140 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.

    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
