Friday Sermon 'How We Overcome Pride'

Jill begins by pointing out that pride is the root of all sin. James 4:6 tells us that God actually opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. None of us would want to be opposed by God! If we want to walk the journey of following Christ and begin conformed to His image, then dealing with the pride in our hearts is the best place to start. In fact, even beginning to walk with Christ requires a humble heart that knows it needs a Saviour.

To deal with pride is to bow the knee before Jesus Christ, submitting to Him and His Lordship in every area of our lives. We must give every decision to Him and allow Him to lead us. In this sermon Jill explains what happens in the life of a proud person, the different avenues that pride can enter our lives through, and how to overcome pride using the power and authority given to us and by humbling ourselves before our Lord and Saviour.

Every Friday morning at Pierrepont (Home of NETS) we come together as a community to worship together, take communion and to feed on the word of God. Here you can listen to these Friday Sermons and discover what God is doing among us.
