Give and Let Give
Pastor Jamie Self - 10/12/2025
In "Give and Let Give," Pastor Jamie Self challenges believers to live as righteous misfits in a world marked by death and self-interest, emphasizing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in giving selflessly for the good of others. Drawing from Proverbs 11:10 and several other scriptures, he explains how biblical wisdom—rooted in the fear of the Lord—equips Christians to navigate life with righteousness that transforms individuals, communities, and culture. The sermon concludes with a call to embody Christlike righteousness by disadvantaging oneself for the advantage of others, thereby becoming agents of life in a broken world.
Weekly Reflection
“Without I AM, we cannot even know what is good or bad… Fools distort divine order.”
Pastor Jamie Self reminds us that in a self‑centered world, God’s Kingdom turns values upside down. Proverbs 11:10 proclaims that “when it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,” pointing us to a way of life that brings blessing not by grabbing, but by giving. Biblical wisdom grounded in the fear of the Lord shapes our decisions and our identities, turning us into agents of life and renewal in broken places.
