Series: What Happens in Corinth Stays in Corinth
Text: 1 Corinthians 4:6-13
Lesson: Conceit and Humility – Their Pride Revealed

The church at Corinth's carnality has been exposed over the past few passages. Last week we talked through what being a minister is all about. Being a servant and stewardship. In this verses 6-13 Paul addresses and reveals the root of ALL of their issues---PRIDE.

Pride many times is the root of most of the problems in our lives. Especially problems or divisions within the Church. We are going to look at the reasons for their Pride.

Psalms 10:4 4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

Psalm 73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

Prov. 13:10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

Prov 29:23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Obidaiah said The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee


What are some Biblical examples of Humility?
What was the source of the Corinthian Churches Pride?
What did Paul have to say about it?
How do we overcome pride in our lives?

We could spend months or even years talking through this subject. I pray you will dig deep and see what pride and humility look like for you. Where do you struggle with it? Why do you struggle with it? How can you be more humble?

I am praying for you all! This subject is a powerful and convicting one!!! See you Sunday...
