The Ride of Pride

About this sermon

Technology allows us to experience life like we never have. It opens the door of communication and allows us instant access the world, and the world instant access to us. But along with the opportunities for greatness, it also paves the path for some serious pride in our lives. In this message, Pastor Ed Young takes a look at some dangers of what we say through technology. We see that what we communicate speaks more than the words we type or pictures we post. And we learn how to win in God's eyes by taking the focus off of ourselves and placing it where it needs to be. What Is Pride? Ego and pride are all about giving me and you the glory that’s reserved only for God. Pride is rebellion against God, and it’s deceptive. Ultimately, pride is showing disrespect toward God and it always leads to destruction. The 3 Effects of Pride 1. Pride Distances Me From God 2. Pride Distances Me From Others 3. Pride Distances Me From Eternity How Do I Overcome Pridefulness? 1 Corinthians 15:1–3 says, “Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand and by which you are being saved if you hold to the message I preached to you—unless you believe in vain. For I passed to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised up on the third day according to the Scriptures.” Philippians 2:7–8: “Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.” That’s the gospel. On a wooden cross 2,000 years ago, Jesus was crucified to exchange our sin and shame for the freedom to walk in righteousness. This gift of forgiveness and salvation are offered to us because of who He is, not because of anything we’ve done. If you don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus, there’s no better time than right now to begin one. You can talk to God just like you would a friend. Invite Him into your heart and life. Tell Him your dreams and fears, and know that He promises you will spend eternity with Him in heaven when you make that choice.
