Respectable Sins: Pride and Selfishness


Listen Later

This week, Pastor Rob continues our Respectable Sins Bible Study series with a closer look at Pride and Selfishness — two subtle sins that often look harmless, even spiritual, but quietly pull us away from God’s heart.

Pride says, “I don’t need help.”

Selfishness says, “I’ll take care of me first.”

Both keep us driving in the wrong direction — and in this episode, Pastor Rob shares a road trip story with Pastor Erica that perfectly illustrates how pride can make us miss the turn we were supposed to take.

Through Scripture, humor, and real talk, this episode reminds us that humility isn’t weakness — it’s strength under control — and that true joy comes when we put others before ourselves.

Key Verses Mentioned:

  • Proverbs 16:18
  • Luke 18:9–14
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4–5
  • Philippians 2:3–4
  • James 4:6

Key Quote:

“Pride doesn’t always roar — sometimes it just quietly refuses to bend.”
