    Love Is Not Proud Series

    Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 18, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,273 views

    In this message we will talk about 'the hate God loves'... God loves when we hate pride and pursue humility, because love is not proud.

    Love Is Not Proud #LoveIs5 OKAY, so we are in this series called, ‘Love Is…’ AND – as I have repeatedly said since we kicked this puppy off on October 13th… THIS – is an absolutely critical and vital conversation for us to have, both as a church and as individual Jesus follower. BECAUSE… • Nothing ...read more

    Love Is Not Boastful Or Proud

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Nov 24, 2025
     | 155 views

    So instead of boasting, we can and should be thankful. Thankful that what God did at Calvary is enough for us. Thankful that the price Jesus paid for our sins was the right price. Thankful that when Jesus said it was finished, He meant it.

    Alba 11-23-2025 LOVE IS NOT BOASTFUL OR PROUD I Corinthians 13:4 According to a story in the Grand Rapids Press sometime ago, when foreign cars were new to the U.S., the owner of a small foreign car had begun to irritate his friends by bragging incessantly about his good gas mileage.

    It is only in our brokenness that we understaned who we are, what we need, humbly serve, and become a blessing in the lives of other broken people.

    Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” To understand the “poor in spirit” you only need to understand the Hebrew word anawin. The best way to understand this word is to remember what happened to the inhabitants of Israel when they were hauled into ...read more

    We are never farther from Jesus than when we are satisfied with ourselves, and we are never closer to him than when we have nothing and no one else to rely on

    All of you are familiar, I’m sure, h the Hans Christian Andersen story about the Emperor’s new clothes. It begins, “Many, many years ago lived an emperor, who thought so much of new clothes that he spent all his money in order to obtain them; his only ambition was to be always ...read more

    Here walked a man that the disciples were drooling over. He was righteous, rich, and ready to become a follower of Jesus. But the standards were out of reach for him.

    Passage: Matthew 19:16-30 Intro: I saw a campaign sign this week that made me think. 1. “water is our future” 2. if it is, we are in trouble. 3. I like water, but it can only do so much 4. but that kind of statement reveals a classic human characteristic. 5. we look for security ...read more

    God hates boastfulness. But what so wrong with a little bragging if you’ve got a special talent or ability?

    OPEN: An older woman was cruising a busy parking lot in her new Mercedes-Benz looking in vain for a parking space. She finally saw someone loaded with packages heading for a car, so she followed him, put on her blinker and waited patiently until he pulled out. Just as he pulled out a young man ...read more

    Walk In Humility

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
     | 3,261 views

    God wants us to cast aside all human pride, and to humbly trust that we need nothing except in him and in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Humility is of great importance in our Christian lives. Think of the well-known “summary of the law” in Micah, “He has showed you, O man, what is good and what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8). Humility is so vital, yet there’s ...read more

    Samson was a mighty man of God, but he took small steps that finally leads to his destruction, so it is with us. Small subtle steps can bring the strongest Christian down.

    One Small step to destruction. Judges 16:1ff We have been examining the Life of Samson. We have been seeing steps to bring down even the strongest of people. Samson was set apart by God at birth, he was the son of the Promise, a deliverer of the people, taking a Nazirite vow; yet he was ...read more

    Humility 2016

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 20, 2016
     | 6,544 views

    Humility is disdained by this world but the Kingdom of God and the citizens of Heaven are those who are contrite and humble. Sometimes we need to examine ourselves to see if we are prideful or humble. Hopefully this sermon helps us with that examination.

    Luke 14:1-11 (read from the Bible and have the congregation follow along) Luke 14:11 NIV “All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Humility … humility in relationship to God comes from knowing that God is God and we are ...read more

    Our exaltation is the will of God, but God hate the sin of self-exaltation, but rather wants us to humble ourselves for Him to exalt us in due season.

    The Dangers of Self-Exaltation Study Text: Galatians 6:3 - 4 Introduction: - Self-exaltation naturally follows self-deception. We deceive ourselves into thinking we are greater than we really are. - This usually leads to some misbehaviours and manifestations of prideful attitudes ...read more

    The Humble Will Receive Grace, I Promise! Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 13, 2020
     | 7,420 views

    God hates pride, but loves humility. God's promise is that if we humble ourselves before God, He will give us His grace. This truth is clearly displayed in the story of Nebuchadnezzar, and in the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector.

    A. One day a certain preacher began to pride-fully muse about what a fine preacher he had become. 1. So he said to his wife, “How many really great preachers do you think there are?” 2. His wife thought for a minute and said, “Well, I don’t know how many really great preachers there are, but ...read more

    Festering Pharoah Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 291 views

    God turns up the heat on pride, not to destroy but to heal—transforming our ashes into grace and our wounds into worship.

    Egypt thought it had already seen the worst of it. The rivers had bled, the frogs had croaked, the flies had swarmed. But pride is hard of hearing. Pharaoh still stood tall, still folded his arms, still told God, “Not today.” So God turned up the heat. No thunder this time. No frogs hopping down ...read more

    Psalm 131 invites restless hearts into humility and hope—trusting God’s presence over answers, like a weaned child content with mother.

    It’s easy to worry. Anxiety is normal. Fear is expected. There’s plenty to be anxious about. I once heard a guy on the radio say, “Anyone who doesn’t have high blood pressure these days just isn’t paying attention.” And maybe he’s right—because we live in a world wound tight with hurry and ...read more
