Our culture tells us that self-love is the key to happiness—but what if that’s a twisted truth? In this week’s message, Pastor Paul Wirth unpacks the difference between biblical self-care and selfish living. Drawing from Philippians 2, Mark 12, and Matthew 16, we see how God calls us to humility, self-denial, and a Christ-centered life that frees us from the empty pursuit of self-love.
When self takes the throne, anxiety, loneliness, and dissatisfaction follow. But when God is on the throne of our hearts, we discover true joy, freedom, and love that overflows to others.
Key Scriptures:
Philippians 2:3–8
Mark 12:29–31
Matthew 16:24–26
Galatians 2:20
In This Message:
