When Self-Love Is Selfish

Summary

The sermon explores the pervasive nature of self-centeredness and highlights how culture encourages putting ourselves first, contrasting this with biblical teachings. It references Philippians 2, which calls for humility and valuing others above ourselves, and 2 Timothy 2, describing self-loving attitudes in the last days. The practical takeaway is to consciously counter this natural inclination by seeking the interests of others, as true Christianity involves selfless love for God and neighbor, not a self-serving version of faith.
