Self Centeredness is the Root of All Problems Series
The Self-Centeredness is the Root of All Problems series teaches that selfishness is the root cause of most personal and relational problems. It emphasizes that self-focus leads to pride, offense, division, and ultimately, grief. However, by surrendering to God, embracing humility, and focusing on others, believers can experience joy and peace.
Dr. Amos Robinson's sermon, Self-Centeredness is the Root of All Problems - Part 1, emphasizes that self-centeredness, rooted in pride, is the cause of conflict, grief, and spiritual stagnation. He explains that pride blocks God’s grace, fuels sin, and undermines joy, while taking offense stems from self-centeredness. True spiritual growth requires humility, prioritizing God’s will, and practicing love and forgiveness. He provides practical steps to overcome self-centeredness, including dying to self daily, seeking God's kingdom first, and embracing humility. By surrendering pride, believers open the door to peace, joy, and greater spiritual blessings.
Proverbs 13:10 "Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice."

In Self-Centeredness is the Root of All Problems - Part 2, Dr. Amos Robinson emphasizes that self-centeredness harms spiritual, emotional, and relational well-being by keeping people focused on their own desires rather than God’s will and the needs of others. He highlights the importance of humility over pride, following Christ’s example of servanthood, fostering unity, and practicing selflessness as an expression of love. True joy comes from humility, while self-centeredness leads to offense, bitterness, and broken relationships. Overcoming it requires renewing the mind with God’s Word, engaging in prayer, serving others, meditating on Scripture, and actively practicing forgiveness. The message concludes with an encouragement to apply these principles in daily life to grow spiritually and build healthier relationships.
Philippians 2:3-4 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each if you to the interests of the others.
The message emphasizes that self-centeredness is the root of many problems and that true discipleship requires self-denial, humility, and a willingness to surrender personal desires for God's will. Following Christ means yielding control of one’s life, prioritizing service to others, and embracing sacrifice as a non-negotiable aspect of faith. Self-denial fosters spiritual growth, strengthens relationships, and brings peace, joy, and freedom. It is a daily practice that involves aligning with God's purpose, valuing others, and living a life of obedience and humility. Ultimately, embracing self-denial leads to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life centered on God's plan.
Luke 9:23 "Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."

A self-focused mindset fosters resentment, while love and humility help overcome these tendencies.

Transformation begins with renewing the mind, aligning thoughts with God's truth, and relying on the Holy Spirit for guidance. By shifting focus from personal desires to serving others, believers can cultivate a fulfilling and harmonious life.
