Pride can subtly infiltrate every achievement and praise, persuading hearts to crown the self rather than Christ. In today's message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to pause to examine your motives, recognizing that inflated egos can often eclipse gratitude. Humility, however, can keep you teachable, receptive, and anchored in grace. Regular confession, service, and listening to wise counsel are antidotes that deflate arrogance before it hardens into isolation and spiritual stagnation.
