Pride comes before a fall!
Let’s continue our worship of God by learning from His Word through the Gospel of Mark.

Scripture: Mark 6:14-29
Samson was a man with absolute power who was absolutely blinded by his pride in his power. How can we avoid falling into the same trap that took him down?
When my dad sold his business and retired, he got bored just sitting around – so he went to work as a meat inspector for the government.

The Lord has impressed me to deal with a subject today that is very difficult for me personally; and I expect it will be difficult for all of you as well.

One of the most common paradoxes of history is the paradox of succeeding through failure. Jesus failed to turn Israel from her sins, and they crucified Him, but He thereby succeeded in paying the penalty for their sin, and also for the sins of the world. By descending into the valley of failure, ...read more
Scripture: Galatians 6:4
Jesus contrasts a prideful Pharisee and a formerly promiscuous sinner desperate for grace. One is changed forever and one is unchanged. The difference: pride vs. humility. We all are in need of a Savior. Sadly, some don't realize it until it is too late.
