    Love Does Not Brag And Is Not Arrogant Series

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 11, 2004
    based on 24 ratings
     | 8,813 views

    This is an in-depth look at how pride is contrary to truly loving God and our neighbor. We examine how pride is often manifested in our lives.

Arrogance is having or showing an exaggerated opinion of one’s own importance, merit, ability, accomplishments, etc. It is being conceited. It leads to having and demonstrating contempt for others. Jesus stated that ...read more

    #4 in Romans 8 series. This explores how positionally Christians have already died, and how we are to live practically - putting to death the deeds of our sinful nature. Blatantly Wesleyan-Arminian.
