The Reversal - From Self-Centered to Christ-Centered | Sermon Audio

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful sermon from "The Reversal" series, Pastor Ryan Kimmel challenges listeners to shift from self-centeredness to Christ-centeredness through the transformative power of the gospel. Preaching from John 12:1–8, he draws a stark contrast between Mary, Martha, and Lazarus—who exemplify devotion to Christ through service, friendship, and worship—and Judas, who masks his self-interest with a facade of moral concern. Pastor Ryan urges each person to examine their own heart, not the hearts of others, and invites everyone to sit on the "hot seat" of personal conviction. With Mary’s sacrificial act of honoring Jesus as the backdrop, the sermon explores how genuine faith prioritizes Jesus above preferences, pride, and image. Ultimately, Christ-centered living leads to joy and alignment with God's design, while self-centeredness leads to resentment. The call is clear: repent, return, and rest in the saving work of Christ.
