Romans Part 43: GET OUT OF SELFIE MODE - Rom. 15:1-13 | Pastor Todd Hudnall (Message Only)

Before you go to bed tonight, people around the world will have taken 212 million selfies. 212 million times today, someone will flip their camera around, center themselves in the frame, and broadcast their face, mood, outfit, or dinner to the world. We are a culture in selfie mode.

In this powerful message from Romans 15:1-13, Pastor Todd Hudnall confronts one of the most urgent soul sicknesses of our generation — narcissism. We live in an era that doesn't just tolerate self-obsession, it rewards it. But the Apostle Paul speaks a radical word into this selfie-saturated world: the antidote to narcissism is not more self-esteem. It is self-denial.

Using three keys from Romans 15, Pastor Todd shows us how to get out of selfie mode and into Kingdom mode — denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus into His global mission.

This message will challenge you to flip the camera around and ask: am I living for myself, or am I living for the glory of God?
