Pride Is Toxic | The Cure Week 3
Lets begin with sharing what your favorite thing is about yourself and why?
Pride can be hard to detect. It could show up when we choose not to be vulnerable or only focusing on people who get us what we want. Discuss as a group signs or symptoms of when pride has impacted you.
What’s the place in your life that you see pride show up in most often? How is it affecting you today?
Read Philippians 2:3-8. The practice of humility is the cure for pride. Let’s take a step in choosing humility this week. It could be giving praise to others, taking appropriate fault in your imperfections, asking for help, or any act of kindness that goes beyond yourself. Share with the group one way you will choose humility this week.
Close your time together in prayer. “God we ask that you point out the places where we have been affected by pride. Help us lean into the practice of humility and follow you Jesus so we can experience a life of freedom on the other side of pride. Amen.”
“Build your personal brand.” “Perfect your image.” “Like, share, and subscribe!” We live in a world driven by the fake versions of ourselves we present to the world. We don’t want others to see our flaws, faults, or mistakes, so we put on a pride-fueled show to make it look like we’ve got our crap together. The good news is that there is a cure—join us today as Chuck talks about how humility is the path out of the endless trap of pride
