Sermons About Pride
God and the Hardened Heart
No one likes to be humbled – but we all need to be from time to time. And those who need humbled the most are those with a hardened heart. A hard heart is the opposite of humility and it is a heart that resists God. There is a pathway to a soft heart we can learn from the Exodus of Egypt – here’s a heads up – humility is going to be a big part of it.

Love
While Colossians 3 doesn't talk specifically about marriage, it does describe the kind of love that needs to be at the foundation of every marriage. But it's not enough to know what love should be like, we also need to understand how Jesus gives us that love: by living and breathing and believing that we are chosen of God, that we are made holy by God, and that we are loved by God.

Humble Before God
There are few things that the Bible says that God hates. The very idea that God hates things is strange to many people. They think that God is a god of love who loves everything and everybody. But that is not true. One of the things the Bible says that God hates is pride. Most of us can identify with that since we don’t particularly like arrogant people ourselves. However, God goes a step further. It is not just that he hates proud people. He is actually opposed to them. He fights against them. This too is stunning to some. They find it hard to believe that a God of love and grace actually fights against people. Today, in the book of 1 Peter, we are talking about the need for us all to humble ourselves before God because that is the only way that we can find his grace in our lives. Rather than continuing on in pride, it is necessary for us to cast our cares on God because he cares for us.

Doing Good
Paul describes the Spirit-led community, which practices love, through a series of commands. We are able to live this way because of what Christ has done for us, and is doing in us. He also works thru us to develop healthy community.
