Nebuchadnezzar offers us one of the most arrogant phrases in the entire Bible in Daniel 4, “Is not this the great Babylon that I have built as MY royal residence by MY mighty power and for the glory of MY majesty.” While these words were still on his lips, Nebby was humiliated by God. Join us as we learn not only how God views pride, but WHY he humbles the proud. Sermon originally preached on May 1, 2011.

“The Few and the Proud” – Luke 14:1-14
What is humility? How do humble people look? Do they tilt their head to the side? Do they avoid self-satisfied grins? How does one look humble? In the parable of the chairs Jesus points out three symptoms of the proud, and by looking at their opposite we can find three symptoms of the humble. Join us as we explore the insidious nature of pride and how God views the proud, and also see how much God loves and exalts the humble. Sermon originally preached on July 18, 2010.
