5 Ways to Avoid Self-Serving Worship

Individualism is one of the greatest threats to our faith. It encourages us to act in our own interests instead of looking to the interests of others (Philippians 2:3-4).

It starts by acknowledging Jesus is Lord, worshipping Him, and living in a way that glorifies God.Here are 5 ways to avoid self-serving worship so you can grow in your faith and honor your Heavenly Father:Photo Credit: ©Unsplash/Iyan Kurnia
