We all feel and experience a deep desire to be well known and well liked, publicly approved of, and applauded. Whether or not we are successful in gaining this approval, it's still something we wrestle with.
In this sermon, Rev. Stephen Lohoefer describes how when our desire for recognition grows out of control, we find ourselves caught in the vice of vainglory, and what we can do to escape this vice's dangerous grip.
The Grove Church is a neighborhood church located in Dallas, TX. We love the imagery of coming together as a community and being the group of 'fruit-bearing trees' that Jeremiah writes about in the Old Testament (see Jeremiah 17:7-8). Our vision for The Grove is to become a church that lives out its faith in tangible ways, intentionally creating environments that gather people together, grow them closer to God, and give back to our neighbors. This podcast is our audio versions of live sermons preached every Sunday online and in-person.
