Broadcast Notes:
"Self-Deception"
This talk is a
shortened version of a sermon I gave at Church of the Messiah as part of a
series where I preached through the whole book. The series was called
"Deep Freedom."
1. It is very hard
for me to judge myself - without judging myself by comparing myself to other
people.
2. God never
judges me by comparing me to other people.
3. I am like you,
I have “glory hunger”.
4. I am like you,
I desire vainglory - glory for myself in regard to matters that are, in
reality, unimportant.
5. When I believe
I am doing a great job in attaining vainglory, I provoke people. When I believe
I am doing a poor job in attaining vainglory, I envy other people.
6. In the midst of
our pursuit of vainglory, God the Son of God, emptied Himself and died for us
to save us.
7. Only God can
save me; and only because He loves me; and only by what He did by His Son’s
death upon the cross; and it only becomes mine by faith in His promise to save.
8. Every Christian
has burdens.
9. The Lord did
not redeem me to bowl alone, but to be part of a “one another” local church
home.
10. No one deserves me better than me, myself and
I.
