Pride | Seven Deadly Sins | Week 1

Pride is more than thinking highly of ourselves. It’s the refusal to be a receiver.

As we begin The Seven Deadly Sins, Dakota Adair takes us from Genesis 3 to Luke 15 to Philippians 2 to uncover what pride really does. It puts us on a throne we were never meant to carry, convincing us to control, prove, hide, compare, and defend ourselves instead of trusting God.

But Jesus shows us another way. While pride grasps, Jesus gives. While pride climbs, Jesus descends. And while pride tells us we have to prove ourselves, the gospel invites us to come with empty hands and receive what we could never earn.

Jesus is on the throne. And you don't have to be.

In this message, we’ll look at what it means to stop grasping, start receiving, and find freedom in being fully known and deeply loved by God.
