Jeremy Utley - Deliverance from Selfish Christianity
Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: Deliverance from Selfish Christianity Date: 12-16-2018 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The central message is a warning against 'selfish Christianity,' where spiritual pursuits are focused solely on personal enjoyment and attainment rather than sharing God's blessings with others. The speaker draws from Isaiah 58 to argue that true devotion involves a longing to share what God has already enjoyed, contrasting this with the danger of self-satisfaction, as seen in Jonah and the parable of the lost son. The ultimate calling is to prioritize others' needs, even at personal cost, as exemplified by Christ's sacrifice.
