The sermon burden
The Holy Ghost does not merely confront behavior. He exposes what is speaking underneath it. Self can learn church language and hide motives of recognition, control, vindication, and self-glory behind words believers trust.
Truth to carry
The Spirit who came to glorify Jesus will eventually confront every voice in me that is trying to glorify me.

What this sermon confronts
- 01
Ego is multilingual; it can learn church dialects.
- 02
The most dangerous self is the self that learns spiritual language.
- 03
The question must move from “What did I do?” to “What inside me needed to do it?”
- 04
Conviction is not divine humiliation; exposure makes surrender possible.
- 05
The Holy Ghost came to glorify Jesus, not self.
Self-examination
When I speak, serve, sacrifice, pray, or discern, who becomes greater—Jesus or me?
Ask the Holy Ghost to search you without shaming you, expose what is governing you, heal what is wounded, and make Jesus greater than the need to be seen.
