Before a Fall
Series: Undo
Luke 18:9-14

Spiritual Pride Problem – We misplace our worth with a trust and faith in ourselves that eventually causes us to look down on others.

Empty Promises of Unhealthy Pride:
1. Self Sufficiency
2. Self Worth

Opposite Spiritual Pride – I could never be used by God.

1. When it’s about me; it’s not about God.
2. When it’s about God; I find grace.
3. When it’s about God; I find opportunity.

Application Question: Is this about lifting up God or lifting up me?
