Sermon Notes

Spiritual Pride

Journey with us in the last installment of our transformative sermon series, "WHAT WOULD JESUS UNDO?" as we delve into the theme of "Spiritual Pride." Through Luke 18:9-14, we confront the timeless parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, exposing the pitfalls of self-righteousness and the virtue of humility before God. The Pharisee's boastful prayer starkly contrasts with the tax collector's humble plea for mercy, revealing that when consumed by pride, there's no room for God's grace. Yet, in embracing humility, we create a vessel for God's transformative power to work within us. This sermon underscores the truth that emptying ourselves of pride allows God's glory to radiate through our lives, aligning with the call of Matthew 5:16 to be beacons of light, drawing others to glorify our Heavenly Father. Join us as we unpack the profound lesson that pride seeks personal glory, while humility magnifies God's glory in our lives.
