No Pride Before God

Send us Fan MailIn this week's 'Words of Life' message in lieu of eternity...Pride doesn’t always 'look like...' arrogance. Sometimes it 'sounds like...'  harmless sentences that starts with “I” and ends with us taking the credit. Within our this week's podcast / broadcast, Pastor walks us through a message that refuses to let ego survive in God’s presence: understand, there will be no pride before God.The sermon opens with David’s public prayer in 1 Chronicles 29:10–13, where David names the truth we forget on our best days and certainly our worst ones: greatness, power, glory, honor, and strength all belong to the Lord. From there we follow a trail of Scriptures that expose pride for what it is. Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 show self-exaltation and corrupted wisdom. Jeremiah 9 confronts boasting in wisdom, strength, and wealth. Proverbs warns that pride fuels strife and that God opposes the proud in heart. Then we bring it home with practical application, including a clear gut-check for the “me, my, and I” language that can creep into our work, our gifting, and even ministry.Finally, the message lands where it must: eternal salvation. Ephesians 2 reminds us that grace is a gift, not a paycheck for our efforts, so nobody gets to boast. 1 Corinthians 1 points our boasting back to the Lord alone, because Jesus is our righteousness and redemption. If you’ve been trying to approach God on your own terms, allow the direct invitation to trust Jesus Christ as the only way, with a simple prayer you can activate today.Feel free to subscribe for each podcast episode or even share this with a friend to engage this week's challenge with you: What part of 'your' life most needs to move from “me”... back to God’s glory (and story) through us?In lieu of eternity, sermons and musical artists are featured to extol JESUS CHRIST as the sole hope for the eternal souls of humanity.
