Sermon: Selflessness vs. Self-Righteousness 09/14/2009
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.

Typically, I post bible study notes or resources that I'm working on for use at the Horton Road 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. On Thursdays, I upload my sermon outline and sermon slides (and study notes, if they are available) to my Sermon Home Pages page. There, you can download or view these resources ahead of worship on Sunday. Although I work for the Horton Road Church of Christ in Jackson, Michigan, this blog represents my own thoughts and does not necessarily correspond to the views and workings of the Horton Road Church of Christ.
