It’s Not About Me - Season 5, Episode 13

Do you struggle to decrease so Christ can increase in your life? Keith Rash examines John the Baptist's profound statement—"He must increase, but I must decrease"—to reveal how human instinct naturally competes with Christ for centrality and control. Using the metaphor of a full cup and the parable of an overzealous best man, Rash argues that true spiritual maturity requires daily surrender of self, intentional redirection of attention toward Christ, and the recognition that our ministry exists to point others to Him, not to ourselves. The sermon challenges listeners to evaluate where Christ needs to increase in their work, home, and service, and to discover that genuine joy flows not from recognition but from alignment with God's purposes.
