“Put yourself first.” It sounds healthy—even wise—in a culture obsessed with self-care, boundaries, and “doing what’s best for me.” But what if that mantra is an almost truth that’s slowly shrinking your life? In this message from our Almost True series, Pastor Jake unpacks what Scripture actually says about self, love, and priorities. Looking at Philippians 2, Mark 12, Matthew 16, and Galatians 2:20, he shows how when self-care becomes the goal, love grows cold, why we don’t need more lessons in self-care but limits, and why you can’t follow Jesus and still be first. If you’re tired of “me-first” faith and hungry for a better way, this message will help you move from self-focus to Jesus-first, others-loving living.
