Podcasts about Self-righteousness

What The Law Says About Us? 

In Week 1 of our new series The Unloved, we begin our journey through Jonah with a powerful truth: God's love relentlessly pursues those we often overlook—those who are wicked, indifferent, or self-righteous. Through Jonah's resistance and God's call to Nineveh, we're confronted with the uncomfortable and beautiful reality that no one is beyond the reach of God's mercy. Pastor Matt invites us to see ourselves in this story and to respond to the God who pursues even the hardest hearts with transforming grace.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

I. Jesus accuses the scribes and Pharisees of self-righteousness and self-deception, vv29-31. II. Jesus, tongue in cheek, urges them to finish the evil of their fathers, v32. III. Jesus presses upon them the judgment of hell they deserve, that they may escape, v33.

Life can feel like walking a tightrope. Lean too far one way—self-righteousness—and you become rigid and judgmental. Lean too far the other—reckless sin—and you risk destruction. But what if there's a better way? Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 7:15-18: In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of them. — Ecclesiastes 7:15-18 Solomon lays out a tension: A righteous man suffers, while a wicked man seems to thrive. And then comes the warning—don't be “overly righteous,” but also don't be “overly wicked.” Is Solomon telling us to live somewhere in the middle? To just be… lukewarm? Not at all. This isn't a call to compromise—it's a call to wisdom. To avoid both self-righteousness and self-centeredness—and instead, fear God. I've met believers who try to control life through extreme moral rigidity—thinking perfection will guarantee blessings. I've also met people who throw caution to the wind—living recklessly, assuming they have time to fix things later. Both are dangerous. Legalism crushes the soul. Lawlessness destroys the body. But the fear of the Lord? That leads to life. So, where do you land? Are you trying to earn your way to God's favor? Or are you ignoring God altogether, assuming you'll deal with it later? The right step forward? Fear God. Walk in wisdom. Trust Him to guide your path. #WisdomInChrist, #FearOfTheLord, #DailyBibleStudy ASK THIS: In what ways have you tried to control life through moral rigidity? Have you ever assumed you had time to fix things later? How did that work out? What does it mean to "fear God" in your daily decisions? How can wisdom help you avoid the extremes of legalism and lawlessness? DO THIS: Pause today and ask: Am I leaning toward self-righteousness or self-centeredness? Then, realign your heart to fear God and trust Him fully. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to walk in wisdom, fearing You above all else. Keep me from the traps of both legalism and lawlessness so I may follow You faithfully. Amen. PLAY THIS: I Will Fear No More.

A devotional study where we take a look at the circumstances leading up to the birth of Jacob and Esau, and how early choices on the parts of both parents, ended up playing a significant role in how things ultimately turn out in both men's lives.  Let's take a look at the backstory that we rarely hear discussed.Genesis 25:23 KJVAnd the LORD said unto her, “Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.”Related Podcasts:— Being Sorry for the Right Reasons— Godly Sorrow, True Repentance— Judgment vs Condemnation— God's Promises to me are sure— Having the Right Perspective— Does God Encourage Hatred?— Wrestling With GodRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— Abraham's Test of Faith— Character vs Reputation— Fighting with GodSupport the showIf you have any questions or comments, please send them to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comDuring many of our podcasts, you will hear us make reference to “The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study,” a document which outlines core concepts shown in the scriptures that will help you better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.

Pastor Jim explores the story of King Jeroboam's disobedience in 1 Kings 13, highlighting the dangers of self-made religion driven by fear and control. He examines how convenience and self-righteousness distort faith, contrasting them with true obedience to God's word. Through the story of the two prophets, Jim challenges all to reject consumer-based religion, align their lives with Jesus as the final authority, and walk in faith-driven obedience.

 Are you a good person? Better than most? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares a parable of Jesus that addresses the difference between those who are self-righteous and those who have through humility received the righteousness of God.   Luke 18: 10-14   Pharisees were the good guys. They were the only people in Jerusalem doing something about the Roman occupation.  Tax Collectors were traitors! They were Jews selected by Roman officials because they knew the culture and everyone's secrets.  Breakdown Vs 10: It would have been normal to see a Pharisee stand in the temple and pray, but very odd to see a tax collector there.  Vs 11-13  The Twist Vs 14  This is the reversal! This is the shocking end. If you were listening to this parable as Jesus told it, offense would be setting in, anger would be brewing.  The bad guy finds redemption and the good guy finds condemnation. Vs 9  To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: Jesus is telling this parable to people who think they are better than they are. People, who through pride, believe that their efforts are enough to restore union with God.  Kingdom Truths from the Parable  1.  Self-righteousness blinds us to our brokenness. Self-righteousness is a reliance on one's own perceived goodness, morality, or religious works to justify oneself before God.   Self-righteousness is a sin that blinds us to our own brokenness. When you are looking down on everyone else, you can't look in the mirror. God is looking for more than compliance. He is looking for surrender.   2. We are saved by grace, not good behavior. How you receive grace, shows you what you believe to be true about God. Those of us who feel like we need to work for or earn God's love may see God more like a boss. His grace flows from His eternal desire to be your Father. "Jesus did not come to change God's mind about us; He came to reveal the eternal truth that we are beloved." -Baxter Kruger In other words, God's grace doesn't purchase His love, it reveals it. Ephesians 1:4-5  Ephesians 2:8-9 3. Pride Ruins, Humility Restores. Galatians 6: 3-4  The reason pride is so dangerous is that it removes our ability to be reliant. If you don't think you need help, you are at risk of rejecting the very thing required to save you...God's grace. James 4: 6-10 Conclusion: The story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector is a warning to us. Jesus leaves us with two choices at the end: either remain humble and allow God to elevate us or get knocked down. Some of us require the latter.  But the scandal of the Gospel is that there is grace for the humble, and grace for the proud. Question: Who are you trusting in?

The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:1-32) illustrates God's joy over a repentant sinner through the stories of a lost sheep, a lost coin, and two sons. The younger son rebels squanders his inheritance and falls into despair before returning home in repentance. His father, filled with compassion, welcomes him back with a grand celebration, symbolizing God's grace. Meanwhile, the older son, resentful of his brother's restoration, represents the self-righteous who struggle to grasp grace. The parable emphasizes that salvation is not earned but freely given, and God rejoices when the lost are found. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of Dear Church, Chris McCurley welcomes Josh Kingcade, Senior Minister at Preston Road Church of Christ, to discuss the story of Jonah—a story that goes beyond a big fish to tackle some of the most profound themes in Scripture. Josh shares his insights on the depth of Jonah's journey, exploring themes of obedience, repentance, and God's boundless mercy.   With over 14 years of ministry experience, Josh brings fresh perspectives from both his teaching background and his work in the Dallas community. This conversation is both challenging and encouraging, as Chris and Josh consider how Jonah's story applies to us today, especially when we wrestle with God's calling in our own lives.   Connect with Us: Instagram: instagram.com/dearchurch_podcast/ Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564673680147 YouTube: youtube.com/@DearChurch   Website: rippleoflight.org ROL Facebook: facebook.com/rippleoflight ROL Instagram: instagram.com/rippleoflight ROL YouTube: youtube.com/rippleoflight ROL Rumble: rumble.com/rippleoflight   Have a question?

"For me at least personally it's been very useful for just to slow them down, just to say could I get you to just mirror back to me what do you think my concern is, or what do I think is going to happen here?"Karen & Paul tackle the issue of approaching disagreements with overconfidence and the good side of not always having to be 'right'.

It has been widely observed by both Christian and secular social commentators that self-righteousness is the human 'default' mode of operation. But why is that? Discover how the way of Jesus transforms not our understanding of how we are saved, but also how we consider ourselves in relation to others.

"I'm going to start from the assumption that they're doing that because they're in distress, because they're anxious, because they're possibly feeling insecure, or they're fearing failure. And to expect that they're going to have the ability to then show up well in the space between is unrealistic."Karen & Paul explore how gut feelings that something isn't right often stem from personal or shared history.

A pharisee and tax collector went to the temple to pray.  The pharisee, in self-righteousness, thanked God for not being like other men, that he fasted twice a week, and he was a tither. The tax collector repented for his wicked heart.  In this episode, Jesus compared these two to reveal the hearts of men. Luke 18:9-14Isaiah 14Matthew 5:1-10www.messagetokings.com

I Shall Not Lack Direction

A man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Graciously, the father welcomed him back. But many do not know about this man's older brother. The story never ended so well for him. Why? Listen to today's message to find out.

I. In vv1-2 We hear the accusation of the Pharisees against Jesus. There we see the hypercritical legalism of false religion.  II. In vv3-6 we hear the counterattack of Jesus against the Pharisees. He exposes their insincere religious commitments and hardness of heart. III. In vv7-9 we hear Jesus sum up the Pharisees as pretenders, with no true heart for God. 

As we finish up the last message in our Jonah series, take a moment to ask yourself a hard question... Am I Jonah? Jonah only prayed to God when he was upset or needed something. - Do you? Jonah was self-righteous and believed he was better than the people he was called to help. - Do you? Jonah lost sight of God's mission and only focused on his own comfort. - Do you? Maybe today, God has put you in a position where your comfort and desires are challenged in order to reveal to you in what and where your priorities lie. No matter how hard we try, we can never escape God's justice and, no matter how hard we try, we can never out-sin God's grace.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

This Q&A conversation is based on the sermon "Stories we Tell Ourselves" From June 18th 2023.  

Jesus describes his sacred and merciful heart as meek and humble.   More than anger and disappointment at our sins, Jesus feels compassion for us in our waywardness.  In the Sacred Heart of Jesus we especially see the goodness of God towards sinners.  This makes God approachable in Jesus and keeps us from the mistake of trying to be good without him.   https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

Numbers 12 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman. 2 And they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it. 3 Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth. 4 And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out. 5 And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. 6 And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. 7 Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. 8 With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” 9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he departed.10 When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. 11 And Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned. 12 Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother's womb.” 13 And Moses cried to the Lord, “O God, please heal her—please.” 14 But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again.” 15 So Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again. 16 After that the people set out from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.Questions for reflection and discussion: 1. What are some stories you tell yourself about yourself that seem to be on repeat? How do those stories shape your thoughts, feelings, actions?2. What are some stories you tell yourself about God?3. What is the story of the Gospel? I.e. simplify it into one or two phrases.4. How can you remind yourself of this truth? What might change if you reminded yourself regularly?

If God has shown you mercy, then you can't look down on others.

Criticism is an unavoidable part of life. But even though we're all going to be criticized from time to time, many of us spend much of our lives living in fear of criticism. Then, on the flip side, we're all critics ourselves. We've all been in situations that aren't quite what we want them to be – so we need to either do something to change them or accept them as they are. On this episode Dr. Rick and Forrest focus on how we can get better at receiving and giving criticism, learn to accept what lies outside of our control, and avoid the “mood of complaint.”New Course From Rick!

Have you ever gotten frustrated as a leader that people aren’t following very well? Moses did. But when the people he was leading rebelled, Moses did something amazingly humble and Christ-like. In this episode, we explore our temptations to give up on people in frustration, and God’s challenge to us through Moses to pray that God will give them better than they deserve.

Why is exile necessary? What is God hoping we will gain in the desert? In this conversation, Jonah and Patrick reveal how our egotism generates the exile experience. But there are great gifts to be found in exile: Human beings could never become beings of love without this freedom—freedom which is a gift of the exile reality. Through free acts of sacrificial love we can also find our way back to our true home.Many thanks to Elliott Chamberlin who composed the theme music, “Seeking Together.” You can find more of his music here.Thanks also to Camilla Lake for the show notes and Patreon/Podcast communications and production.The Light in Every Thing is a podcast of the Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Anger is one of the most complex, demanding, and difficult emotions we deal with on a regular basis, in part because it has both many costs and many uses. It burdens our bodies, relationships, and the world around us. And at the same time, there is a vital energy associated with anger that is extremely powerful and, when harnessed effectively, quite useful.On this episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson explore the varied ways anger surfaces, how we can relate to it, and how in recognizing what it has to tell us we can channel its energy towards good ends.Watch the Episode: Prefer watching video?

Being a Christian means having a loving relationship with the Lord, rejoicing in Him and trusting in His grace, having no confidence in the flesh. We discuss the dangers of legalism and why it is an evil counterfeit of the true Gospel. Christ alone and His righteousness is the only sure foundation for our salvation, but legalism causes people to look to themselves and trust in themselves and their own law-keeping to establish themselves before God, and in so doing they cut themselves off from the grace of God. Legalism also causes people to focus on outward performance (which we can control to an extent), at the expense of inward Christlike attitudes, which only Christ can produce in us by His grace. Paul shares from his own experience, having come from a life of legalism, how he had a perfect pedigree and performance as a self-righteous law-keeping Pharisee. If any one had a basis to have confidence in the flesh, Paul did, and yet he came to realise that all his self-righteousness had no value before God, in fact it was a big negative.
