In this fourth instalment of our mini-series preceding our study on the spiritual gifts, Pastor Daniel Kriss tackles the uncomfortable topic of pride and humility.  Beginning by noting that the Apostle Paul issues a command in Romans 12:3 to denounce pride, Pastor Daniel then provides us with a working definition of the term “pride”, followed by an observation of several examples of God’s perspective on prideful individuals in the scripture.  A comprehensive compilation of examples of manifestations of this all-pervasive sin in our lives was given, as well as practical ways to defeat pride in our lives on a day-to-day basis.  As an issue we ALL face in this Christian battle, this sermon reminds us of the importance of overcoming pride so that we can be useful vessels in the work of the Lord.
