Losing the Weight of Self

Date of Sermon: March 9, 2025

Sermon Series: Laying Aside Every Weight

Scripture Used: 2 Timothy 2:11-15; Hebrews 12:1-2

The greatest burden we carry is often the one we struggle to recognize—self. In 2 Timothy 2:11-15 and Hebrews 12:1-2, we are called to lay aside every weight that hinders us, including the self-centered nature that clings to pride, control, and selfish ambition. True discipleship requires dying to self so that we may live fully in Christ.

In Losing the Weight of Self, Dr. Robert C. Crowder challenges believers to surrender their desires, ambitions, and pride at the feet of Jesus. Through biblical teaching and a powerful illustration, this message reveals the necessity of daily crucifying the old nature and embracing a life fully yielded to God. Are you still carrying the weight of self? It’s time to let go, lay it at the altar, and live in the freedom of Christ’s calling.
