DDD: When Pride Sinks the Ship: Tyre’s Tragic Lesson for Today

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  Today we’re stepping onto a glittering ancient ship—a city so wealthy and beautiful, it thought it could never fall. But Ezekiel 27 shows how pride quietly rotted its hull until one day, everything sank in a single storm. If God could turn Tyre’s glory into a heap of rocks, what might unchecked pride be doing in our own lives today? Stay with me as we ask a hard question: where is your pride steering you?  Pastor Brian Noble, in this devotional, walks through Ezekiel 27, God’s lament over the wealthy port city of Tire and its stunning pride. Pastor Brian paints Tyre as a magnificent ship—rich, powerful, and “perfect in beauty”—that is ultimately shattered and sunk by God’s judgment. He warns that wealth, success, and outward splendor can subtly inflate our pride, even as we claim to follow God. The episode ends with a call to repent of self-reliance, give all glory to Christ, and boldly defend biblical values in today’s culture.  We are transforming our hearts so we can shape the public square.
