It’s All about Me, Right?
It’s All about Me, Right?
Sermon Synopsis
In this second message of Pastor Jamie’s series, “Awakening for Today’s Family,” he talks about selfishness. Too many in our culture, and even some in the church, believe and act as though life is all about them. Selfishness and self-centered thinking abound in because such is endemic to the fallen, human condition. This message underscores the hope that is ours as the Holy Spirit is invited and allowed a place in our families where He can transform the lives of fathers, mothers and children so homes are set free from the chaos and disorder selfishness always leaves in its wake.
