The Destructive Power of Pride

Pride is something we all wrestle with, and those who think they don't usually have the most of it. The Bible warns that pride is always leading somewhere, and that somewhere is downward.

Key Verse: "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." - Proverbs 16:18 (KJV)

Lucifer was an angel of light, powerful and beautiful, until pride filled his heart and he said, "I will be like the most High." Instead of going up, he went down. In this message, Carson Williamson shows how pride sets us in opposition to God, who resists the proud, and how it poisons homes, friendships and churches. He contrasts pride with humility, which remembers the mercies of God, refuses to feel entitled and shows itself in service to others.

If you want peace in your home and your church, deal with your pride. God gives grace to the humble.
