Selfishness

Not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. - Philippians 2:4

"Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else." - Charles Spurgeon

"The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed. Think not of yourself, but think of Christ and others, and your burdens will be lightened." - AW Tozer

Put others first

We aren't called to fight for our rights. We're called to fight for what's right.

Jesus > everything else

"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." - Charles Dickens

More of Jesus. Less of me.

Three ways you can be a more generous

You aren’t the hero of the story. Jesus is.

What God Has Given You

I need more of God

God gave His best for us.

"Greatest Commandments: * Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.  * Love your neighbor as yourself."

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. - Matthew 6:19

Selfishness in Christians is akin to a kid not sharing a French fry when his dad owns the whole McDonald's.

Deny self. Take up my cross. Follow Christ.
