We all know self-righteousness when we see it...in others. But we often miss self-righteousness where it resides most easily...in our own lives. In this way, we're much like the Israelites Amos preached to, who kept up appearances through acts of worship while neglecting the weightier matters of God's justice and righteousness.
In this sermon, I contrast self-righteousness with the selflessness that God desires us to have so we can serve others with God's justice and righteousness in mind.

On this blog I typically post audio devotionals, Bible study notes or resources that I'm working on for use at the Otisville Church of Christ, where I preach, or short articles about ministry and church leadership. Occasionally I post a book review.
For more regular "microblogging," or to connect with me online, do so at Twitter or Facebook.
I upload and post my sermon from Sunday each Monday. You can find sermons and an RSS link at my Sermons page. You can listen to sermons online or download them in MP3 format.
Although I work for the Otisville Church of Christ in Otisville, Michigan, this blog represents my own thoughts and does not necessarily correspond to the views and workings of the Otisville Church of Christ.
