Pride - The One Thing That Causes Us To Sink or Swim - Week 8

This Sunday, Pastor Brenda Vogel brings a powerful message in our Storm Chasers series that challenges us to examine one of the most dangerous spiritual threats we face—pride.Pride is subtle, deceptive, and destructive. It was pride that led King Saul from a place of divine calling to complete downfall. It’s the same pride that can cause arguments, damage relationships, block self-awareness, and ultimately distance us from God. When we elevate ourselves, we lose sight of who God is—and who we are in Him.Drawing from 1 Peter 5:5-7, we’ll reflect on what it really means to “dress ourselves in humility.” We’ll explore why it takes effort not just to give, but to cast our cares on God. And we’ll take a practical “Pride Test” to help us recognize the signs that we may be sinking in the storm rather than swimming in grace.But there’s hope: Humility isn’t weakness—it’s the gateway to God’s power. When we embrace humility, God lifts us up at the right time. We’ll learn how to focus on contribution instead of comparison, choose gratitude over entitlement, and trust God's timing above our own.This message will challenge your heart and shape your perspective. Come ready to grow—and to let go.
