In a culture that promotes self-love and prioritizing our own desires, what does it truly mean to follow Jesus? This message from Philippians 2:3–4 and Matthew 16:24 challenges the modern mantra of “Treat Yo’ Self” and explores the biblical call to self-denial, humility, and loving others above ourselves.
Discover why prioritizing self-love often leaves us feeling empty, anxious, and unfulfilled. Learn how Jesus’ countercultural invitation to take up our cross and follow Him leads to deeper relationships, purpose, and joy. Together, we’ll ask: In what areas of life are we loving ourselves more than God and others? And what is God calling us to do about it?
