    LOWERED TO BE LIFTED UP When Joy and I lived in Manville, NJ, we had a beautiful magnolia tree in our side yard. However, the roots were so persistent, that they grew right through the sewer pipes and caused a clog that only roto-rooter could fix. So we cut down our lovely tree, ...read more

    What one sin abhorant to God is one that most all of us are guilty of ?

    What one attribute is most loathed by Christians and non Christians alike ? It is the one vice that no man in the world is free of and yet when they see it in others they are loathed? I speak of Pride or Self Conceit - (and the virtue opposite is Humility.) It is one of the most insipient of ...read more

    IS THE STONE ROLLED AWAY? Text: Matthew 28:1-7 The Great News Jesus is alive. Just three days before they had seen Him die and be buried. They had come to embalm Him, and worried how they would get to His body in the tomb. These women knew that the tomb had been sealed by the Pharisees and Chief ...read more

    The thesis of this sermon is that pride is the root of all sin and must be confessed and surrendered to the cleansing power of Jesus.

    God’s Answer for Pride: Swallow It --Proverbs 16:18 --James 4:5-10 --Luke 18:9-14 In Shakespeare’s satiric tragedy on the Trojan War Troilus and Cressida the Greek General Agamemnon conjectures: He that is proud eats up himself; Pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle. . ...read more

    based on 70 ratings
     | 13,311 views

    Pride tends to make one see themselves as the center of one’s own universe; as the one who is in control, when in fact, pride holds us prisoner. God’s dealings with Nebuchadnezzar on the issue of pride totally changed his thinking.

    Nebuchadnezzar: Pride’s Proud Prisoner Text: Dan.4: 8-18; Prov.16: 18 Intro: One need not go far in God’s Word to find the sin of pride rearing its ugly head. Genesis 3: 4-5 recounts for us the fall of Adam and Eve. Their fall was the direct result of pride having taken root in their ...read more

    While we may have to follow our heart in devising the path that we are to walk in, we can rest assured that Jesus is still directing our steps.

    TAKE THE NEXT STEP By Pastor Jim May Sometimes life can be so confusing.
