3. Selfishness – Acts 5:1-11
2. Fighting Hyper-Individualism – Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
“The first step toward love is a common sharing of a sense of mutual worth and value. This cannot be discovered in a vacuum or in a series of hypothetical relationships. It has to be in a real situation.”
– Howard Thurman
“There is no such thing as an individual member. The people of God belong to one another, minister to one another, need one another, and contribute to the rich unity and ministry of the whole.”
– R. Paul Stevens
3. Following Jesus (Matthew 16:24-26)
