Sermons on Pride
Tonight’s message is full of tales of treachery and deceit, recklessness and conceit. Does that bring to mind a popular novel or movie, or do you think of how offensive these are to a our holy Creator? Bro. Jeff invites us to some self-examination as he continues describing the people of the last days.
Tonight, Bro. Jeff continues to share Paul’s insight to Timothy on the selfishness that will be characteristic of people in the last days. Previously, we examined covetousness, boasting, and pride. Here, we delve into what the scriptures say about blasphemy, disobedience to parents, and ingratitude and are encouraged by pastor to keep standing on God’s Word.
Israel’s situation was dire, much like ours is today. Bro. Jeff looks at some grievous Biblical accounts of the sin and wickedness that leads to God’s judgment. “It’s time to seek the Lord!”
Because they aren’t careful of their personal integrity, many people lose their ability to be an effective disciple of Christ. Paul’s encouragement to Timothy applies to us as well. Bro. Jeff encourages us to keep our minds on Christ and stand for the gospel.
A natural affection for God comes with being born again. Loving God naturally leads to loving others. Bro. Jeff describes how this supernatural love is demonstrated. Do you love your fellowship?
God is in control even when things seem out of control, even when it seems that evil people are getting their own way. The account of Israel’s first king provides important perspectives and encouragement for us today.
Is is possible to control our thought patterns? The Bible says it is! Bro. Jeff lists four attitudes that hinder our praise and worship. Listen to Bro. Jeff’s Biblical insights to find encouragement in living a more joyful life!
Our prayer is that we will see ourselves as God sees us and see others as God sees them. Bro. Jeff delivered a powerful message tonight on attitude – how our insecurities affect our attitude and how we can receive blessings from God if we’ll walk through the door of humility where we can think rightly about ourselves.
“Pride will open a door, but not the door to blessing.” Bro. Jeff provides many Biblical truths and accounts where, before the blessing came, there was humility. God wants to bless you through this door as well!
