What does the Bible really say about pride, and how can pride quietly destroy our relationship with God and the people we love most? In this Bible study, we take a deeper look at the sin of pride—a heart problem that can produce arrogance, selfishness, stubbornness, anger, contention, unforgiveness, and spiritual independence from God. Proverbs 15:25 gives us a sobering warning: "The LORD will destroy the house of the proud." This powerful statement should cause every Christian to stop and examine his or her heart. Pride can place our ego on the throne, damage marriages and families, and prevent us from saying, "I was wrong. Please forgive me." But there is hope. God gives grace to the humble. We will examine biblical characteristics of pride and consider practical ways to fight pride in our daily lives: 🙏 Regularly examine our hearts 🙌 Give God the glory for our abilities and accomplishments 🕊️ Practice humility and dependence upon God ✝️ Make Jesus Christ our example of humility John 15:5 reminds us: "...without me ye can do nothing." The battle against pride is ultimately a battle over who sits on the throne of our hearts. Pride exalts self, but humility exalts Christ. As we yield ourselves to God, His grace works within us, giving us both the desire and the ability to do His will. 💧 God's grace flows to the low places. Let us humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and allow His grace to transform our hearts, our marriages, our families, and our service for Christ.

He Brought Them Out… …To Bring Them In Has He… "He Brought You Out — to Bring You In" This message walks through the first five books of Moses to show the unfolding purpose of God: Genesis reveals His promises, Exodus His deliverance, Leviticus His holiness, Numbers the necessity of trusting Him in the wilderness, and Deuteronomy the call to remember and obey Him as His people enter the promise. In Numbers, Israel had been delivered from Egypt, organized around the tabernacle, and prepared to move toward Canaan. Yet when they reached Kadesh Barnea, ten spies trusted what they could see more than what God had said. Their unbelief turned an eleven-day journey into decades of wandering. Using Proverbs 16:3-4, Proverbs 14:12, and Proverbs 3:5–6, the message warns that what seems right to us can lead us away from what God says is right. Faith does not deny the giants, walls, or difficulties; it simply refuses to make them greater than God. Joshua and Caleb saw the same obstacles as everyone else, but they trusted the Lord who had already promised to fight for them. Exodus 6 provides the heart of the message through four great purposes of God: He delivers His people, gathers them around Himself, makes Himself known to them, and brings them into His promised rest. Israel's physical deliverance from Egypt also warns us that being among God's people is not the same as personally knowing Him. No one can borrow another person's faith. Every individual must personally surrender to Jesus, trust His finished work, and be born again. The message closes by showing that God's purpose has not changed. In Jesus, He brings us out of bondage to bring us into life, fellowship, obedienc
