5 people that God wants us to avoid and not to help | Sermon Only | Bishop Keith W. Reed, Sr.

About this sermon

In Part 2 of this powerful and practical teaching, Bishop Keith W. Reed, Sr. continues examining five types of people Scripture warns believers not to enable. While compassion is central to the Christian life, discernment is equally essential. This message reviews four personalities previously addressed — the manipulator, the lazy person, the repeat fool, and the quarrelsome person — and then focuses deeply on the fifth and most dangerous: the proud person. Pride is subtle yet destructive. It distorts thinking, resists correction, rejects counsel, creates conflict, and prevents humility before God. Scripture makes it clear: pride precedes destruction, and God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. This sermon calls believers to spiritual self-examination. It challenges us to confront pride in ourselves before identifying it in others. True perseverance and purposefulness require humility, teachability, and total dependence on God’s grace. Grace elevates. Pride destroys. 📜 Key Bible Verses: Proverbs 12:22 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Proverbs 26:11 Proverbs 19:19 Proverbs 16:18 Romans 12:1–3 Proverbs 13:10 James 4:6–8 🙌 Speaker: Bishop Keith W.
