4) Take Heed: A Warning About Personal Pride (Ben Wanda)

Summary: This sermon explores the destructive nature of pride and the importance of cultivating humility in the Christian life. The speaker emphasizes that pride is at the root of sin and contention, leading to destruction in personal relationships, families, and ministries. In contrast, humility is presented as the antidote to pride, exemplified by Christ's own example. The sermon encourages believers to adopt a Christ-like mindset of humility, focusing on serving others and glorifying God rather than seeking personal exaltation.
