Beatitudes 1 & 2 - Fighting the culture of "self" Nov 15, 2021

We are living in a culture that encourages self-sufficiency and mocks Christianity as a crutch for the weak. How do we live out our faith and be a people who are wholly reliant on God for strength? Are there areas in our own lives where we have bought into the allure of "self?"
