Ready? 1,2,3! Let’s walk this out together….

One Big Truth from Karen and Susan to find our footing: Antidotes to Pride and Self-reliance    Read John 15:4-5 & Philippians 2:5-11

2.   Two Resources to keep learning:

·      TGC Article-Pride in the Name of Love

·      Book- The Freedom of Self-forgetfulness by Tim Keller

3.     Three Questions to discuss together:

1.     Share one or two ways you see the culture fanning the flame of self-love or pride.

2.     In what place (abilities, gifts, past success) or person (seeking the approval of others) are you placing your reliance or confidence?

3.     Pride is the exaltation of self. “Gospel humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.” Share one area where you would ask for prayer to grow in humility and self-forgetfulness.
