Give and Let Give | Pastor Jamie Self

In "Give and Let Give," Pastor Jamie Self challenges believers to live as righteous misfits in a world marked by death and self-interest, emphasizing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in giving selflessly for the good of others. Drawing from Proverbs 11:10 and several other scriptures, he explains how biblical wisdom—rooted in the fear of the Lord—equips Christians to navigate life with righteousness that transforms individuals, communities, and culture. The sermon concludes with a call to embody Christlike righteousness by disadvantaging oneself for the advantage of others, thereby becoming agents of life in a broken world. Discussion Questions 1. What does it mean to be a “giver with a cause” in today’s culture, and how does that reflect the upside-down nature of God’s Kingdom (Proverbs 11:10)? 2. In what ways can biblical wisdom, rooted in the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 1:7), guide us through complex moral decisions where the law alone feels insufficient? 3. How does the relationship between righteousness and wisdom challenge the way we typically define spiritual maturity or success? 4. What are the common roadblocks (such as self-sufficiency, fear, or self-worship) that keep you from living righteously, and how can you combat them practically? 5. How can we cultivate a “culture of righteousness” in our homes, churches, and communities that mirrors Christ’s self-sacrificing love (2 Corinthians 3:18, Proverbs 21:6)?
